\"roller-sports\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Roller Sports was a Florida brand briefly mentioned in the book A Secret History of the Ollie<\/a>. They made decks and wheels. I’m not sure if they also made trucks or just distributed them with their completes. This ad features what looks like a bunch of Lexan decks called “Proline.” It’s a shame they don’t show other views of the decks, which they call “tops.” Also missing, details and a better view of what looks like a downhill ski trainer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Just the goods. Check out the holes in the decks. On the ski trainer it looks like a spot to hang it up, but the 3 hole placement on the other decks suggest a nose guard of some type. The ski trainer has a sticker on it that reads “Made of super tough Lexan.” Lexan may be super tough, but’s it seems like it would also be super brittle.<\/p>\n
