N o one is really sure when the first roller skates were used. It is likely that the first roller skates were an adaptation of ice skates and were used for transportation rather than sport. The first recognized inventor of roller skates was a Belgian manufacturer named Joseph Merlin. He produced the first roller skates with metal wheels in 1760. He presented his invention in London at a formal ball and rolled across the floor playing an expensive violin. The story is told that because his skates were unable to be turned or stopped, he glided gracefully into a huge mirror and suffered serious injuries. The first time roller skates were "successfully" seen in public was in 1849, when Frenchman Louis Legrange used roller skates to simulate ice skating in the play Le Prophete. He created his skates by mounting tiny rollers down the center of ice skates. In the mid 1800s, a number of other inventors took up the call and many different types of skates were produced. All, however, suffered the same problems Merlin's skates had: the inability to be effectively controlled or stopped. New Yorker James Plimpton solved the problem of controlling skates in 1863. Plimpton's skates used a rubber cushion to anchor the axles. This cushion would compress when the body was leaned, enabling the wheels of the skate to turn slightly when the skater shifted his or her weight. Plimpton's design is considered the basis for the modern roller skate.

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.
History of In-Line Skates
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.

Extreme Sports
The phrase "extreme sports" was evidently coined by ESPN when the network was planning the Extreme Games (now the X Games), which were first held in 1995. Several of the sports that fall into the category, such as snowboarding, skateboarding, and street luge, have also been known as "outlaw sports" because they were banned in many areas for being too dangerous. They have also been characterized as "alternative sports," in part because they are seen as alternatives to older, established sports, but also because many of the athletes adopted an alternative style, originally known as punk and later as grunge, opposed to the conspicuous consumption of the yuppie lifestyle. In general, the extreme sports contain an element of danger, epitomized by daredevil acrobatic stunts performed while traveling at high speed. Many of them are new versions of older sports, made possible by technological changes or improvements in equipment. For example, BMX racing and mountain biking are both based on cycling, barefoot water skiing is an obvious derivative of traditional water skiing, and in-line skating is a form of roller skating. For the most part, extreme sports originated as recreational activities for individuals, but often in a group context, with individual athletes showing off skills for the rest of the group members to imitate or emulate.
