When I was in college in the mid-90s, you couldn't go anywhere without seeing someone on Rollerblades. I've always ridden a bicycle and I can't count how many close calls I've had with Rollerbladers so I don't really miss them.
But now if I see someone on Rollerblades, it's a VERY rare event.
What happened to do them? I don't think wheelie shoes did them in. That's predominantly for kids. Razor scooter? Also seems to be for younger kids, too. Skateboarding? Seems to appeal to a different type of person.
Was it lack of versatility? You couldn't really wear them to the grocery store unless you carried street shoes, too.
Just wondering,
Paul
