Sorry if it's a repost but does anyone have these?

It sounds like you could mount some alpine bindings on them and use them like normal skis. I think this would be real fun to try, but unfortunately I am broke and saving for COC. Someone should demo them or try them or buy them.

I'd rather just use roller blades but it'd be fun to try.

in high school i was on the nordic ski team and we used those to train when we didnt have snow. they were pretty fun to bomb around on hills but you can't really stop too well one them so yeah.

i was thinking this to ... take skis cut out the a strip down the skis and just take like 80 ( prob exagrated idk ) roller blade wheels and some how attach them down the middle where the strip is cut out ... so you have skis with a bunch of wheels so u can still go into presses ect and still roll ... just my 5 cents .. i no this prob wouldnt work .. but would be wicked sick

I remember seeing in a PSIA magazine an add for freestyle roller skis.  That was about 5 years ago, and I could never find them.  Those in the OP are for cross country skiing like someone said

Damn,

These could change everything.  The guy could actually make wedge turns and do a hockey stop on those.   A few tweaks and those are going to be unreal.  The possibilities are endless.
