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.

the RS WEB HALL OF FAME Theresa Hadley, Space Coast Skating Club, Melbourne, FL. Theresa took the only pictures of the Junior Olympic Artistic Nationals that appeared on the Photo Tour of Nationals site on the RS Web. Theresa sent pictures of the Standard Nationals in addition to those we received from Robert Taggi. One picture of note is the 3D Panoramic shot of the interior of the Pershing Auditorium. This picture consists of Three pictures, combined into the one Panoramic picture. With only the directions I gave her in a quick email, she took the pictures flawlessly, as this Full Width picture of the auditorium shows. At the end of the Standard National events, we had no one to cover the Junior Olympic events. Theresa stepped in and provided us with many pictures and comments that covered the Junior Olympics very well. Her hard work, like Robert Taggi's was a totally volunteer effort, done for the love of the sport and the skaters of the world. Without her contribution, there would have been NO coverage of the Junior Olympic events at all. Bill Wolf, Sports Information Director, National USA Roller Sports, Lincoln, NE.
