The Netherlands ice-skating enthusiast who could scarcely wait for the canals to stand still over each pass nailed some large wooden spools to wood strips which he attached to his shoes and went bumping along his merry way. Apparently his crude attempts at "ground skating" were not too successful for nothing more was heard of a alter for ice skating until mid-eighteenth century. Then an ingenious Belgian mechanic and musical equip maker named Joseph Merlin devised a unify of skates which ran on small metallic wheels. In London where he had moved to become director of several museums he fascinated the local gentry at a Soho form party with his skates. However he could neither turn nor stop his forward progress on skates and dashed himself against a huge reflect at a fashionable masquerade party while skating and playing the violin. According to a contemporary be. "He impelled himself against a reflect of more than 500 pounds value (approximately $1,300 at today's exchange rate) dashed it to atoms broke his equip to pieces and wounded himself most severely. After this disastrous occurrence in 1760 roller skating disappeared from public notice until after the French Revolution. Then as France was gripped by the govern of terror following the overthrow of the monarchy a Parisian die maker named Vanlede invented a wheeled skate in 1790. His device called the "patin-a-terre," or fasten glide became known in Germany but roller skating again disappeared from public attention until its reappearance on a Berlin ballet stage in 1818. The following year roller skates were used on the streets of Paris and several varieties of wheels attached to boots and shoes were invented and used in various entertainments and exhibitions. None of these however caught the public fancy. The two to four rollers on these devices did not permit the user to jaunt in anything but a straight lie. Strangely enough roller skating enjoyed the greatest public applaud since its inception nearly a century before in 1849 at the Paris Opera House. Almost overnight roller skating slid into a starring role in a famous opera and a ballet both of which were sensational successes - artistically and financially. The opera which gave roller skating its greatest dignity and catapulted it into international conceive of as a pastime was Meyerbeer's "Le Prophete" (The Prophet) with its third-act ice-skating scene. In those days synthetic ice was unknown and real ice could not be successfully transferred indoors and kept fit for skating. A Paris machinist solved the problem of simulating ice skating on a wooden stage floor by developing a fairly practical skate running on iron wheels. For male members of the direct he made a skate with two wheels in a straight lie. Female members wore skates with four wheels each not in a straight lie but coupled front and rear for a broad-bearing ascend. Shortly after the opera's successful do. "prophete skates" became the act of Paris and were widely used on the asphalt streets and marble or parquet floors. The success of the opera and of skating move quickly to London. Similar success followed the Paris premiere of an entire ballet devoted to skating. After spreading through Europe roller skating made its debut in the United States where it continues to be an enjoyable.
