As well as a sport, and can also be a form of transportation. Skates generally come in three basic varieties: quad roller skates, inline skates or blades and tri-skates, though some have experimented with a single-wheeled "quintessence skate" or other variations on the basic skate design. This hobby was most popular, first between 1935 and the early 1960s and then in the 1970s.

Getting the Ball Rolling
The first recorded pair of roller skates were used for a theatrical performance in London in 1743, unfortunately the inventor’s name has been lost to history, but the idea soon caught on and by 1819 M. Petitbled patented the first roller skates in France. These early skates were the predecessors to the inline skates we use today, although it would have been hard to do more than skate in a straight line. By 1863 the four wheeled skate (or quad skate) with an added rubber piece to allow skaters to curve when they moved was developed in New York City, and it was such a hit that the first roller rink was opened in the city shortly thereafter. Over the rest of the century the design of the roller skate was fine tuned with the addition of things like toe stops, making it easier and more enjoyable for people to roller skate. By the end of the 1800s roller skates were being mass produced in the U.S.

The Rise of Roller Rinks
Roller skating became increasingly popular again after the 50’s and roller rinks popped up all across North America, with lots of drive in movies and fast food restaurants even featuring waitresses on wheels who would come by your car to take your order!  By the ‘70s and ‘80s roller skating was a full-on craze again, becoming a popular destination for parties and dates, roller rinks became roller discos and would play music you could skate to and flash loads of different colored lights to make it as fun as possible.

Skating Sports
Roller skating wasn’t just a recreational activity though, by the end of the ‘70s the potential for roller skating as a sport had been spotted, and the new single-line of wheel style of skates (rollerblades) that we use today were invented for maximum speed and manoeuvrability. This gave people the ability to practice hockey in the off-season, and gave rise to competitive skating and sports like Roller Derby and speed skating.]]> 2017-04-17 17:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ashnia_york/History/wish/166599177 ashnia_york https://padlet.com/ashnia_york/History/wish/167097935 Okay this one is four kids who are very good acrobats though sorry but first read about "History of Roller skating" then watch the amazing video.
