Roller skates were not the same as we can see them now. People have been ice skating in the Netherlands for hundreds of years. In the early eighteenth century a Dutch man wanted to go ice skating in the summer when there was no ice. He fixed large wooden wheels onto thin pieces of wood and fixed then to his shoes. These first roller skates were called "skeelers". Many inventors helped improve the design until in 1979, the modern skate was born. Scot Olson and Brennan Olson used plastic materials and added a rubber toe-brake to make the modern rollerblade.
