Roller skis are an ideal way to get a jump on the x-c ski season. I suggest getting a feeling of balancing on your roller skis by using them on the grass first. Roller skis are tricky to balance on and a fall on grass is better than one on pavement. (For part 2 see: youtube.com/watch?v=rCyh_hIGsBs&feature=youtu.be) Once you find your balance, then try some static drills on pavement and engage speed reducers if your roller skis have them (see Jenex V 2 roller skis). This will keep you going slowly until you feel comfortable gliding further and faster. See the following blog for more info- keithnicol.blogspot.ca/2017/10/getting-started-with-skating-on-roller.html
