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.

Skike, the original cross skates. Cross-country nordic skiing in summer and winter! Cross-country nordic skiing in summer and winter! A Skike is a sports device consisting of two wheels attached to a frame that can be strapped onto the rider's shoe. Similarly to roller skis, the Skike has a wheel in front and at the tail of an aluminum frame that can be attached to the foot. However, unlike roller skis and roller skates the tires are pneumatic.
The name Skike is a combination of skate and bike. The Skike rider moves forward in a skating motion, usually with poles, similarly to normal Cross Country Skate Skiing.
Unlike on the roller skates and inline skates, Skikes use a pair of large 15-cm (5.9 in) wheels shod in inflatable tires -- that's where the "bike" part comes in. They're also considerably longer than the foot, with the wheels placed at the very front and very back, connected by a lightweight frame. Instead of the full shoe of other skate designs, Skike's design is more open and light, using a series of three straps to secure foot to frame, and a braking system providing stopping power. They're designed to be used for both street and light off-road applications (think smooth paths).
One of the latest models, the Skike V8 adds a heel-lift system, giving Skikers the option of regular skating or diagonal stride skating. Skikers can open or lock the heel lift on the fly with a toggle switch.
The skates are designed to be used with poles in a sort of warm-weather version of cross country/Nordic skiing. With Skike, 90 percent of your muscle mass is worked, providing a fun, complete workout.
