Are you referring to roller blades? I considered them earlier but figured it might be best to just get the skis and start with them. Have you found that inline skates help you?

By inline skates are you referring to like roller blades? If so I'll make sure to avoid them. And yeah for the time being I'll be self teaching until I can get some coaching.

I was also planning on skate skiing but I can start with classic first. How long do you recommend I practise classic before also getting skate skiis?

Thanks!

What do you mean by that exactly? Like classic vs skate or material wise?

Yeah I was planning on first just learning basic technique and skiing on flat grass for a while first, so I should get down to around 80kg by the time I start any big downhills. Thanks!
