No Speed No Glory

As already known, inline speed skates is a form of evolution of roller skates which become youth trend all around the world in the decade of 1980s. Roller skate it selves is created from the desire of a fan of ice skating from Netherlands who want to change ice skating into a game that can slide on the ground or a street. Initially, circa the 1700s, a man named Joseph Marlin who is a music equipment handyman, try running the ice skating skate fitted with small wheels made from steel.

Having bored of roller skates, in the decade of 90, the youth tried to modify the wheels on roller skates in order to raise its speed. They made the skate wheels are on the same straight line. Then, the evolution is a matter of how to skate faster. To achieve this purpose, inline skates designs become more and more aerodynamic with lighter materials also.

However, people often forget, no matter how good the skate is, it’s useless if not supported with quality wheels. In the past, old-school skaters always wear inline skate wheels made of iron, which causes the "riding" not smooth. In addition, this iron wheels have no friction at all. Fortunately in the 60's, new material for skate wheels called clay has been found.  But, even though it’s better than iron, it still give little impact on the smoothness of the "riding" a roller skate.

Then, in the '70s, the experts more intense and managed to find a wheel made from urethane.  These wheels are made with high precision-in the press. Urethanes used because of this material have excellent abrasion resistance. It means that the wheels of the skate will be more durable. The second reason is that this material provides good friction with the ground or the street. So that player is free to regulate their skates with a low risk of slipping.
