    I have a pair. They do mimic classic diagonal stride well, but really nothing else. The poling is a little slower, since you really only "glide" a few feet for each stride. It's an intense workout if you want it to be. I use them on flat grass, like a soccer field. It's like going uphill all of the time. Going down hill is worthless and kind of a pain. They slip on the kick when they get wet, although the newest "steel" model is claimed to have solved that problem.

    Nice to use in the dark instead of roller skis. I worry less about cars, and falling.

    In the same topic, i just found it is possible to do classic with skike.

    I don't find the video very convincing. The diagonal stride seems not very nice too.

    I definitively prefer my Marwe classic Rollerski, even if there is many convenient (traffic, pavement, no glide filling, etc).
