The Philanthropy section should be deleted — a $5,000 donation is not relevant. --216.15.25.242 (talk) 03:41, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How are roller blades related to science oither that acceleration, momentum, and motion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.8.191.2 (talk) 18:02, 10 April 2006

This should redirect to inline skates... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.130.160.229 (talk) 08:36, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why have they only refereed to the TRS Inline Skate in the main title? It has absolutely no context Geosak (talk) 18:06, 10 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I thought RollerBlade were famous for defending their brand against "generification" by issuing cease-and-desist notices to all and sundry. When did this change? Dominic Cronin (talk) 05:26, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Peanuts"...[edit]

...mentioned Rollerblades as a generic trademark in late 1996: http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1996/12/27 A²Kafir (and...?) 01:27, 26 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This was literally the first generic trademark that came to mind when I was trying to find the technical term for brands which have become common nouns. Without research, it's fine to leave the page parked here if no court has ruled it a generic trademark yet but a it absolutely is in the most common English dialect used by Wiki readers and editors and research will eventually show that and b it is, in any case, a great fear for the company and its efforts in that department should be noted, with a link to the generic trademark article somewhere besides the talk page. — LlywelynII 03:58, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Scott Olsen on Shark Tank[edit]

Entrepreneur Scott Olsen appeared on Shark Tank (US - season 3) [Episode 313], with a pitch for his company Skyride. More info: https://www.sharktankblog.com/business/skyride/

Not sure if this should be included in the wiki, just thought I'd place it here. eyeCommented (talk) 20:49, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
