John Joseph Merlin




"The first recorded roller skate invention was in 1760, by the Belgian born John Joseph Merlin. He worked in London as an inventor and instument maker. Mr Merlin attended a masquerade party wearing one of his new inventions. Metal-wheeled boots, desiring to make a grand entrance added the pizzazz of rolling in while playing the violin. Lining the huge ballroom was a very expensive wall-length mirror. The fiddling skater stood no chance and Merlin crashed solidly into the mirrored wall, as his roller skates crashed into society."
