About us
The story of FF Rollerskis began in 2012 at Gaustablikk. I came across an old pair of Atomic skate skis leaning against a cabin wall.
Our Story
FF Rollerskis: The Story Behind a Norwegian Innovation in Roller Skiing
The story behind FF Rollerskis begins with a chance discovery in the Norwegian mountains. It evolves into internationally recognized ski technology.
It All Started with an Old Pair of Skating Skis
In 2012, I – Henrik Georg Lindhagen – was staying at a cabin in Gaustablikk, Norway. I found a pair of old Atomic skating skis leaning against the wall. Out of curiosity, I strapped them on.
It took only a few minutes on the trail before something clicked. The rhythm, the movement, the freedom – I fell in love with skiing all over again.
That passion followed me down from the mountains and onto the pavement. But I quickly realized something was missing: roller skis didn’t deliver the same experience as skiing on snow.
The Problem That Sparked an Idea
I started training with high-end carbon roller skis. Still, after every session, I noticed increasing knee pain. The vibration from the asphalt transferred directly into my body.
Roller skis were too stiff. They lacked the flex and natural movement of snow skis. That was the moment I realized that roller skiing needed better design to be a serious training method.
Creating What Didn’t Exist
I looked for roller skis with real flex and comfort – but they didn’t exist. So, I decided to build them myself.
After years of testing and working with engineers and top athletes, we created Floating Fork technology. This is our patented damping system.
This innovation dramatically reduces vibration. It increases control. It allows you to ski longer, harder, and more naturally. You can do this with less strain on the body.
What You Get as a Skier
At FF Rollerskis, we don’t just build roller skis. We deliver a complete ski training experience, designed to help you improve and stay healthy. Our users consistently report:
- Improved ski technique thanks to natural flex and stability
- Reduced joint and muscle strain through effective vibration damping
- More consistent, longer sessions with better control
- True ski feel on asphalt, year-round
- Durable, high-quality construction for serious athletes
Whether you’re preparing for winter, recovering from injury, or simply seeking better ski fitness, FF helps you train smarter. It also enables you to train safer.
Trusted by Athletes – Backed by Innovation
We’ve worked closely with top-level skiers such as Odd-Bjørn Hjelmeset, Didrik Tønseth, and Eirik Mysen. Our skis are now FIS-approved, and we collaborate with international ski federations and former national coaches across Europe.
All our products are engineered and manufactured in Europe, with a strong focus on quality, functionality, and sustainability. Every component is tested for real-world performance by athletes and experts.
Our Vision – and Our Mission
At FF Rollerskis, we believe that roller skiing is more than a substitute for snow. It’s a sport in its own right – and we’re here to make it safer, more enjoyable, and more accessible.
Our mission is to get more people out on safe roller skis – all around the world.
We want everyone, from beginners to elite athletes, to enjoy the movement and flow of good skiing. This should happen every day and in every season.
We’re committed to pushing the limits of ski technology while maintaining responsibility, durability, and user-focused design in everything we build.
Join the Journey
This is more than a product. It’s the result of a clear idea, years of development, and a deep love for the sport.
We invite you to discover the difference for yourself – and become part of the FF Rollerskis story.
