In 1980, two hockey-playing Minnesota brothers discovered an in-line skate while rummaging through a sporting goods store and decided that this design would make an ideal off-season hockey-training tool. They refined the skate and began assembling the first Rollerblades in the basement of their parents' Minneapolis home. It was that same year, when they founded the company that would become Rollerblade®.
As the 80's came to a close, Rollerblade expanded the market further through in-line skating events, competitions, and other activities specific to the sport; including the new trend of aggressive skating. In the early 90's, cross-promotions with major consumer product companies gave credibility to the market for rollerblades and publicity for the sport was at an all-time high as popularity soared and participation grew faster than any sport in history. The 90's were filled with further expansion of the market and industry, which was spurred by great strides in skate technology. Lighter, stronger materials, lower pricing, and technologies such as the revolutionary ABT® brake, continued making skating more accessible to people of all ages, and athletic ability.
