Wow, that must have been an exhilarating day with a real adrenaline rush throughout! Just the notion of a 3 sport day had never crossed my mind, but it has now. The world of "foldable things" continues to amaze me - I'd never seen a foldable kayak before, but foldable bikes and even foldable guitars I have. Keep up the different, but super interesting, summer content!

Hey Brad! Yeah, it was definitely a fun day 🙂 Logistically, it wasn't too challenging as i decided to keep the locations simple (i.e. just biking from the house). My roommate has a different style of foldable kayak, so it's interesting how many kinds of foldable outdoor toys there are! I've been keeping up with the weekly roller ski sessions, too. As always, thanks for tuning in and commenting 🤗

Very cool. Earlier this spring I created my own Dirt/ Snow/ Grass Tri (DSG). 19 mile/ 1400' vert on the MTB, then 25k of vert on skis, and wrapped it up with walking 18 holes of golf. About 13 hours total. Definitely will be doing another one next spring. Maybe one this fall. Cool getting to design the legs for what you enjoy.

Thank you for the kind words, Frank! And for sharing your experiences :) I think I may have to amp up my next attempt because adventures sound way more intense than mine - haha! I love it :) Again, thanks for tuning in and for contributing to the conversation!

Just love this video - being a paddler too. I admire your bravery for roller skiing. I gave it up a few years ago and decided to try to work on my fitness a different way - I bought a Ski Erg during the pandemic. It is not the same but I feel safer.

Thanks, Jennifer! I appreciate it :) With the roller skiing I'm playing it pretty conservative, sticking with slow to medium pace and staying on mostly flat bike paths. And I'm currently only doing it once a week to minimize the risk - haha! But today's little four-mile session was actually quite enjoyable. I'm building up some confidence :) Thanks as always for tuning in, and for the kind words.

Good update. Yeah, I gained weight too, and been trying to road cycle it off but you know what? My in-line skating (rollerblading) and some ab workouts at the gym has help me curb my appetite this week and skip a meal -just not hungry. There’s something about compressing the stomach that really helps the appetite. Glad to see another form of breaking, other than the Fischer brake accessory. I’d like to see how you evolve your roller ski braking. It particularly interesting to see how you don’t let one ski cross in front of the other by step lifting. On skis, we push down on the heels, right? There was a video I saw or heard where people drag their foot, 90* against the direction of descent, but I’m not confident my knee will tolerate it, let alone if I can effectively twist and keep on course. Btw, did you see Tom M’s last ski video for the winter 23-24? He had some great shots where you can see his telemarking moves using the insta360 x4. They look great for teaching. Sigh…. More equipment right?

@@ecphotographer Thanks for the nice feedback, EC! I've been increasing my activity ever since this video to keep the metabolism up and (hopefully) burn some calories - haha! I think when I stop doing all of these Tahoe Big Years (this is the last year I'm doing one in earnest) I'll get back to grinding out miles in all forms (hiking, xc skiing, etc.). As much as I love photographing wildlife and plant life, you just don't move too fast ever doing it ;) Yes, with a regular snowplow you do push your heels out to shave the snow. But with rubber roller ski tires, well, they don't really skid so I do that step snowplow one roller ski at a time to decrease speed. I've also heard of dragging a roller ski behind, perpendicular to the rolling ski but I've always disliked that approach as it wears those wheels down a lot. I think I tried that on roller blades a long time ago, but had limited success. Terrain management definitely plays a big role in the whole process (i.e. knowing if there's adequate runout when on a small hill, and how steep the terrain is on which you're roller skiing). I can't recall if I saw the specific Tom M. video in which you refer, but I know he has that Insta360. I've actually talked to him about it last season as I've been considering getting one myself. The main problem I have, though, is that I'll have to get a new laptop on which to edit the footage. My old desktop just can't handle the file sizes - they're absolutely massive! But, yeah, more equipment - haha! But I do like the versatility of that camera. It looks really handy for teaching. Oh well, we'll see what I come up with for next season!
