Description
Denmark is an amazing "rollerski country".
This course will give a through introduction to running on rollerskis off-road, meaning through forests and countryside. Thus avoiding roads with much traffic.
To roll through Denmarks idyllic nature is an amazing experience when you are feeling confident using the off-road rollerskis.
In addition to having great nature experiences, it is also a really fun activity that automatically makes you smile when rolling down a hill in the forest.
But in order to be able to fully enjoy this ski discipline, it is necessary to aquire a minimum of "good technique".
Good technique means amongst other, good position/balance, braking technique, good "classic" and skating technique.
And this is what this course is all about. By doing various excersises and trips in the beautiful area "Hald Ege", to develop the above mentioned techniques needed to fully enjoy this amazing ski activity.
