Roller skis are commonly used to train in the off-season but with one serious drawback – it can be difficult to stop. Without snow to carve into stopping can be tricky. This is why it is said that necessity is the mother of invention, because the need to stop has resulted in the RollerSafe.
These street skis utilize a wireless disc-braking system that makes it easier to control the speed and more importantly come to a safe and complete stop. This is controlled via a small trigger-based toggle that is integrated in the pole handle, and allows users to control the speed without any major physical motion besides a flick on the stick.
