A summer substitute for skiing

I dont know if you guys have ever heard of Harb Carvers, but i have just learned about them recently. Apparently they are like rollerblades but you are able to lean on edge so that you can get the skiing sensation. People go down hills with these things, poles and everything. it looks pretty sweet. heres a link to their site where you can also see pictures.

Those are kinda cool, wonder what kinda turns you have to make to control speed, seems like it could be scary. Good post.

I have seen the offraod ones,by rollerblade, they seem so sketchy, I am just scared that these ones poster would accelerate like a long board.

In my opinion, those really have nothing to do with skiing cause its just getting on edge and turning and you dont even have long skis or anything. just go skateboarding or find a summer glacier
