Rollerblade is a brand of inline skates owned by Nordica, part of the Tecnica Group of Trevignano, Treviso, Italy, since 2005.
The company was started by Scott Olson (b. 1960) and Brennan Olson (b. 1964) in Minneapolis as Ole's Innovative Sports; when they sold the company, it became Rollerblade, Inc. and has changed hands over time between Nordica, Benetton Group and Tecnica.
In 1980, Scott and Brennan Olson improved the rollerblades in their own basement. The wheels were better protected, easier to put on, and had better brakes. Before the Olson brothers made the changes to the rollerblades, they were difficult to put on, the wheels got damaged easily, and the brakes were insufficient. Rollerblade is a registered trademark that has been in use since March 1983, though the term "rollerblade" is also used generically for inline skates. This was sort of noted in a late 1990s commercial when they introduced their more sophisticated heel-stop when they said it was "a new way to stop from the company that got it all started".

Plot: When the ability to travel through time is perfected, a new type of law enforcement agency is formed. It's called Time Enforcement Commission or TEC. A cop, Max Walker, is assigned to the group. On the day he was chosen, some men attack him and kill his wife. Ten years later Max is still grieving but has become a good agent for the TEC. He tracks down a former co-worker who went into the past to make money. Max brings him back for sentencing but not after telling Max that Senator McComb, the man in charge of TEC, sent him. Max has his eye on McComb.
