Extractions: National Museum of roller skating The National Museum of Roller Skating in Lincoln, Nebraska celebrates all types of roller skating from dancing to Roller Derby. Ever wonder where you can find the world's largest collection of world skates? At the National Museum of Roller Skating in Lincoln, Nebraska, where roller skating's history in sport, recreation, entertainment, and business is contained. The first documented roller skate was invented in London in 1710. These early skates were little more than boards with wheels. The world of roller skating changed forever in 1863 when James L. Plimpton patented his "rocking skate" in the United States. This revolutionary motion enabled skaters to steer by leaning to the left or right, the same technique that is used with the high-tech marvels used to roller skate today. bodyOffer(32028) The popularity of roller skating zoomed. Plimpton opened a public rink and leased his new skates to the public. The first skating organization, the New York Roller Skating Association, formed in 1863. Speed and distance races became common in cities across America. In the 1930s modern show skating began which led to "Skating Vanities" a performance troupe similar to today's Ice Capades in 1942. The first United States Artistic Roller Skating Championships were held in 1939. Today roller skaters compete in American Dance and World Class Dance. Roller hockey organized in the early part of the century, played with a ball rather than a puck. This no-contact sport enters the Olympics as an exhibition sport in 1992.

Extractions: Belgian inventor named Joseph Merlin introduced the first recorded roller skate in 1760. And, what an introduction he made! He wore his new skates to a party in London, where he crashed into an expensive mirror (the first recorded check!). Other inventors produced some roller skate models, most with in-line wheels to imitate an ice skating blade. The first patent ever taken out on a roller skate was for an in-line skate in 1819. The patent went to Monsieur Petitbled , who claimed that people using his skates could do the same tricks as ice skaters. However, skating turns and curves with Petitbled's skate proved to be a major difficulty, if not impossible. In 1863

Extractions: The major types of competitive figure skating are individual men's and women's competitions, pairs skating, ice dancing, and precision skating. In individual competitions, a single skater performs required elements and is judged on how cleanly and artistically the motions are executed. Pairs skating consists of two skaters performing together. In ice dancing, partners carry out the artistic motions of dance on skates. Precision skating, which is a highly structured activity, consists of a team of skaters who perform choreographed maneuvers

Extractions: MassageToday.com by Steve Kelly The history of rolling skating is quite interesting, at least compared to the history of soccer. You're probably thinking that rolling skates were first known to our grandparents, but roller skates are older than the United States of America (talk about some rusty wheels). Belgian manufacturer Joseph Merlin (not associated with Camelot) produced the first roller skates in 1760. He surprised everyone at a formal London ball (that would be a "party") by rolling across the floor (like magic) on metal-wheeled skates while playing (badly, no doubt) a valuable violin. Because of the skate's minor performance limitations (so constructed as to not allow such maneuvers as turning or stopping), Merlin ran into a large mirror, seriously damaging the violin, and inflicting grievous bodily harm to various appendages, and his nose, which made first contact with the glass. This was not only the first public exhibition of roller skating, but was also highly entertaining, and led to more skating. On the negative side, it was rolling skating's first DUI.

Extractions: Archives Pictured (clockwise from bottom): the French Petitbled from 1819, an 1860 in-line of unknown manufacture, a model from 1994 produced by Rollerblade, Inc., and a 1930s clamp-on in-line from the BEB Skate Company. The first known skates created in the 1760s possessed a single line of wheels and for the next century wheels on skates followed this alignment. In 1819, M. Petitbled in Paris patented the first roller skate, again possessing three wheels in a row. During the next forty years, all skates had an in-line set of wheels, varying in number (some had as many as six or as few as two) and in their design. These skates, however, lacked the ability to turn easily. In 1863, James Plimpton revolutionized the roller skate by inventing a skate with four wheels, two pairs set side by side, also known as a quad skate. Because this skate allowed for greater control and ease of skating, the four-wheeled skate quickly came to dominate the industry. Though largely renounced in favor of the more popular quad skate, several companies designed skates using an in-line set of wheels. The in-line skate Scott Olson saw which influenced his idea for Rollerblade skates, however, was a 1966 Chicago Roller Skate Company skate. Possessing four wheels in a row, with the front and back wheel extending beyond the boot, the skate resembled the blade of an ice skate. The Olson brothers adopted and adapted this design, and with it caused a popular reaction to roller skating nearly unparalleled in the sport's history.

Extractions: Email Us Event Planning Entertainment and Production Service Celebrities ... Printable Version Tara Lipinski By her third birthday, future Olympic figure skating champion Tara Lipinski was convinced walking and running were inefficient ways of moving around. She preferred going faster. Roller-skating was the mode of choice. With wheels beneath her feet, Tara could fly. Of course, it was only a matter of time before Tara noticed how fast the kids on ice skates were going - Very. The 1995-96 season saw Tara move into skating's senior division and also marked a change of scenery for Tara and her mom. They relocated to Bloomfield Hills, Mich. During the week, Tara receives daily four-hour tutoring and is proving to be as proficient at academics as she is at skating. Tara is an "A" student who faces homework in the evenings despite the additional demands of four, 45 minute training sessions spread over each day at the Detroit Skating Club. This disciplined lifestyle undoubtedly contributes mightily to Tara's competitive toughness. Her technical and mental preparation has been rewarded again and again over the past two seasons during a remarkable ascent to national, world and Olympic championships. "She's so far beyond where we thought she'd be," Jack Lipinski said in a recent interview with People magazine. "She's always rising to the occasion."
