Rollerski speed reducers
For the fellow wanting to give roller skiing a try as a better way to get into the ski season, there should be a mention of the possibility of breaking and speed reducing systems that put you more in control of your own safety through Jenex and their programs. I know that these two items have saved me a lot of skin and gives me more confidence every time I step onto my roller skis.

Rollerskiing Across America
"Fighting hunger one mile at a time."
Carolyn and Santi Ocariz are roller-skiing across America (3,000 + miles) in attempts to inspire giving to those who are desperately in need "Fighting hunger one mile at a time." While sharing the message that 36 US dollars can feed a child in an impoverished country for a year is very thought-provoking. skiacrossamerica.com

How far apart and wide are ski tracks?
To continue on the distance apart set for ski tracks, I recall watching track setters in Oslo at the 1984 world masters competition that had infinitely variable width tracks adjusted from in the tractor cab with a hydraulic actuator. It was explained to me that they were setting the ideal width for different parts of the courses, wider on fast down-hills and narrower on the flats.
