Para responder a esta pregunta, primero hay que saber que aprender a patinar con unos patines nórdicos es más sencillo y seguro que con unos convencionales de 4 ruedas. Principalmente por dos conceptos, el primero porqué el chasis de los patines nórdicos es más largo y esto evita las caídas o deslices hacia atrás, y segundo porqué el hecho de disponer un sistema de frenado que va fijado al tobillo, añade un punto más de sujeción, que beneficia la capacidad de mantener el equilibrio corporal encima de los patines nórdicos. Por lo tanto no es necesario saber patinar para empezar en el Cross Skating, aunque si que es cierto que si sabemos esquiar o patinar, nos será mucho más fácil y empezaremos antes a disfrutar de esta práctica deportiva, gracias al principio de la transferencia. Los consejos básicos para empezar a deslizarse sobre unos patines de Cross Skating son: Excelente demostración de dominio de la posición correcta para patinar sobre unos Skike.

September 17, 2010 (Ottawa, Ontario) -- What do 50 people on rollerskis look like? How about 200...or more? That's the question that Fresh Air Experience in Ottawa is trying to answer. On October 2nd, at 8am sharp the store will set the world record for the most number of rollerskiers in one place, at one time, ever. The event will take place at P8 and P9 in Gatineau Park, just outside Ottawa, Ontario, and FAE's Chris Bloch-Hansen is expecting a big turn out.
"Bragging rights, that's where this started," says Bloch-Hansen. Initially he and some of the crew at Fresh Air Experience's Ottawa store were tossing around the simple idea of having a bunch of people gather for a neat group photo. With Ottawa being one of Canada's largest cross-country skiing communities, guesses were soon flying as to just how many people the store could organize. It was a short leap to the idea of setting a world record.

According to Block-Hansen, "Dennis Thomasson - the store owner] got in touch with the Guinness World Records folks, and they said that no such official record currently exists." So they figured, why not set it them selves, and set the bar high?
How high? When asked which other communities he thinks might decide to challenge the Ottawa/Gatineau region, Block-Hansen said he doesn't think anyone else has a chance. Gatineau Park has over 200km of recreation cross-country ski trails, and there are thousands of skiers who use them. That huge community feeds a very strong racing scene in the area with, Block-Hansen estimates, over 2,000 people who rollerski -- which gives the organizers plenty to draw on.
"We're expecting somewhere from 200-300 people, but it could easily be as high as 400 or more," says Bloch-Hansen.
And there are incentives to get people out for the photo. FAE is giving away $1,000 in prizes, among the swag is a set of V2-98XL Carbon rollerskis, valued at $400. Participants will also have the chance to rub shoulders with three of Canada's National Junior Team athletes. Bloch-Hansen said Nakkertok's Patrick Stewart-Jones, his brother Andrew, and Steffan Lloyd will all be in attendance.
