In 1980, two hockey-playing brothers discovered an in-line skate while rummaging through a sporting goods store and decided the design would be great for off-season hockey-training. They refined the design and began assembling skates in the basement of their parents' Minneapolis home and soon founded the company that would become Rollerblade®. Hockey players and snow skiers quickly began using Rollerblade skates for their training routines. During the early 1980's, the in-line skate market was limited. Efforts in the mid-80's through grassroots marketing tactics were introduced in markets like Miami Beach and Venice Beach. Through the middle 80's to late 80's, Rollerblade focused on distribution through sporting goods retailers, expanding the market through in-line skating events and activities specific to the sport.
