Skorpion USA Unveils Bold Colors, New Design and Accessories for 2008 Skorpion Skate Models

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 25, 2007 -

Skorpion USA introduces a fun new series of skate models with bold colors and accessories. Designed with the stylish skater in mind, the exciting new colors and design are poised to turn heads on the street of skaters and non-skaters alike. Available in blue, green, pink, black, silver, orange and yellow, Spinners can also be added to the wheels for a customized rim look. The introduction of the colored series of Skorpion skates is a collaboration of skating fun and urban styling.

Designed in the United States, The Skorpion-Quadline model is targeted towards urban skaters who desire the lightness of a speed skate, the shock-absorbing qualities of a recreational inline skate and the stability of a roller skate.

"Skorpion is the reinvention of the clamp-on skate. It has a retro look but is fabricated using the latest in Du Pont? technology," says Lee Cole, CEO, Skorpion USA Ltd. "The new accessories are fun and lets the individual put their own stamp on the skates."

With a classic American look, the Skorpion-Quadline model offers the ultimate in performance and styling. It allows skaters of all ages and skill levels to obtain maximum enjoyment with stability due to its independent suspension system. The wide wheelbase of Skorpion-Quadline provides exceptional stability with its 4 X 100mm wheels placed around the footplate surrounding the feet. This intelligent design lowers the skater's center of gravity by 50 percent of a conventional roller skate making the Skorpion-Quadline, the lowest profile and most easy-to- balance skate ever produced.

"The new Skorpion? Quadline? is new and refreshing. Possibly a fitness phenomenon and the next great leap in skating!" says Scott Olson, Inventor, Rollerblade? and Rowbike?.

Skorpion also has the Multi-Terrain model designed to provide skaters with all the fun, look and performance of an Off-Road vehicle. Using patented design features and a funky off-road look, the Skorpion Multi Terrain model provides the ultimate in off- road performance.

Skaters can now go beyond the traditional boundaries of skating. With rough terrain in view, the skates can be used on uneven concrete surfaces, cobblestone paths, boardwalks, grass, nature trails and even around BMX bike tracks. Those who would rather skate on the more traditional surfaces such as footpaths, pavements, car parks, rinks, and parks and bowls, can still do so with this skate.

Both the Quadline and Multi-Terrain models have a convenient and adjustable "Step-In" footplate that accommodates a wide range of shoe styles and sizes. The skates come in two sizes; Small: US Unisex size 4 - 7 and Large: US Unisex size 8- 12. Having only two sizes, it also simplifies a retailer's size purchase decision and investment risk.

Skorpion skates have been touted as the most exciting, hottest new skate craze to hit the international market in recent years and is now finally in the United States. Acknowledged by skaters for their stability, functionality and cool contemporary styling, skaters are enjoying the excitement and adventure of the Skorpion skating experience.

Rollerblade? USA Announces Inline Hybrid For City Terrain New Urban Skate Collection Unites Tradition with Innovation

West Lebanono, NH (PRWEB) September 25, 2008

Charging down the street, darting through crowds, weaving around obstacles--this isn't an extreme skating event. It could be your morning commute. Rollerblade USA has acknowledged the urban micro-culture and designed a trendy skate collection that fuses challenging landscape problem solvers with metro-tested style and comfort. Urbanites that get around via inline skates not only enjoy down time and most certainly avoid paying gas prices, but also stay in shape and avoid pesky rush-hour traffic. Rollerblade USA's Urban Collection, set to debut in January of 2009 with prices ranging from $ 199-$ 249, encourages a new generation of travel with a set of naturally fueled wheels--powered by Rollerblade.

The Fusion skate (Fusion X7? and Fusion X5?) is true to its name. Rollerblade has combined the experience from building both molded and soft skates and blended the benefits together to create the Fusion Urban Skate. Fusion's unique vented molded shell structure optimizes stability and torsion resistance without adding weight, while the liner ensures comfort and breathability. Specialized "5 Star Fit" liner is specially engineered with memory foam padding that provides a customized fit for the skater. The padding adapts to the shape of the ankle area and eliminates pressure points, providing total comfort and complete control. The Fusion's frame is aluminum 6000 shaped for optimal torsional resistance and has a low balance UFS set up for better control. The heel shock absorber minimizes an already low impact and the axles are light weight. Fusion offers replaceable components and removable, optional sole plates for versatility--truly making this skate ideal for an urban adventure.

Unique in its class, the Twister 243? is a versatile molded skate that combines the comfort and lightness of shoe styling with flexibility for movement and top performance. This skate's hot rod 243 low frame and urban profile wheels are perfect for maneuverability without sacrificing style. The vented molded shell optimizes stability and torsion resistance to offer minimized weight with maximum breathability, while the specialized "5 Star Fit" liner provides a customized fit for maximum comfort.

LandRoller Unveils MOJO - Their Advanced New Skate That's Super Smooth With a Lower Price

Hermosa Beach, CA (Vocus) October 28, 2008

After two years of intense development, the LandRoller Corporation, maker of the original angled-wheel skate, is pleased to announce the limited availability of their next generation skate, called MOJO, for Holiday '08. Redesigned and re-fabricated from the ground up using advanced composite materials, the two-wheeled MOJO represents the state of the art in skating that challenges the very best of the inline, quad or quad-line designs.

The MOJO uses the patented LandRoller Angled Wheel Technology (AWT) that employs two oversized wheels in a uniquely stable angled configuration. The large wheels provide a much smoother, chatter-free ride than traditional inlines. The new all-plastic design takes advantage of advances in materials science that have allowed LandRoller to develop new production techniques for casting thermoplastic parts with integrated glass fibers. The result is a remarkably lightweight frame and wheel assembly that is strong and durable. MOJO not only replaces the old cast aluminum frame and wheels of their first generation skates but also does away with permanent bearings in favor of easily replaceable ABEC 7 bearing sets. LandRoller has also added more polyurethane in each wheel in a new blend that results in top tier speed with superior ground adhesion and much longer wheel life.

"We really worked hard to significantly increase the quality and performance of the MOJO compared to our first generation angled wheel skate," says Brian Conners, LandRoller President & CEO. "We spent the past two years analyzing our customer's feedback and devoting many thousands of man hours to the engineering and refinement of this new model. To do it right, we subjected this skate to numerous design iterations and conducted a comprehensive testing program. The commitment has paid off in what we believe to be a real milestone in skate development. Our second generation skate is far superior yet priced much lower than our first generation skate."

MOJO ($ 199.95) is now available on LandRoller's website, in selected retail locations across the U.S., and in several major foreign markets. Visit LandRoller.com for more information.

LandRoller Inc. is a privately held company headquartered in Hermosa Beach, California. It develops and markets radically novel roller skates that have proven to be superior in many aspects of skating performance. The large, angled wheel configuration of LandRollers provides a superior experience for skaters of all levels and abilities. This innovative technology delivers greater stability, better maneuverability, and a smoother, vibration-free ride.

Wheeling through the Web; Roller Skate Site Celebrates One Year Anniversary

Beaverton, OR (PRWEB) February 25, 2009

These days, kids are focused on gadgets such as video games and cell phones. According to a 2007 study conducted by the non-profit organization, Trust for America's Health, statistics show that 25 million children are either obese or overweight. The fact of the matter is that kids are spending more time at home and not getting enough exercise. Bill and Marianne Stiles are independent business owners who have taken the task of reintroducing an American pastime: roller skating.

"Both my wife, Marianne, and I grew up going to roller skating rinks and we have these fond memories that we hope other people can experience," said Bill Stiles.

The couple launched http://www.WorldOfSkates.com in January 2008. The website specializes in roller skates of all types: inline skates, quad skates and hockey skates. The web store also has a selection of accessories like skate bags.

As the site marks its first year anniversary, Stiles has expanded their catalog to include skateboards and the aforementioned hockey skates.

"We have a love for skates," said Stiles.

In addition to an expansive catalog, World of Skates has a new blog that is coinciding with the site's one year anniversary.

"We're going to be covering topics such as inlines versus quads, product reviews on new skates, giving tips on helping kids buy their first skates and we'll also address some of the common questions about sizing and things of that nature," Stiles said of http://www.SkateKingdom.com.

While some kids clamor over the latest gadget, Bill and Marianne Stiles are giving the opportunity for them to actually enjoy life outside of the home. Perhaps through WorldOfSkates.com, kids may actually have a chance to get out there and lace up skates instead of winding up the wires of a video game controller.

About the Company:

WorldOfSkates.com is a part of Harmony Hills Enterprises which is owned and operated by Bill and Marianne Stiles.
