before in-line skates, we used what folks now called 'quads'. befoer that we called 'em shoe skates. i has addidas. they were basically sneakers with wheels. way way before that, skates were thin metal wheel attached to an adjustable clamp sort of. you clamped it to your shoe and tightened it. we used wing nuts, but befoe that, you would use a skate key. if you got a boy's key, you were going steady.





fyi, the first skates at the turn of the century (the 20th) were made from bone.
