Summary: Roller skating was invented in 1760 by a Belgian man, but did not become popular until an improvement was made on the roller skate in 1863 that allowed the roller skates to turn easily around corners and curves. At first, roller skating was simply a pastime and aerobic workout, but in the early 1990's it became a more competitive sport. Beginning first with roller hockey, skating evolved into other sports including speed skating, figure skating and roller derby.
