New Zealand grandfather Reg Reid designed the first version of
the highly stable Skorpion Extreme Quad Roller Skate after he saw his
grandchildren struggling to balance on inline skates. Now the skate
is being marketed to extreme sports athletes.
Dupont Feature About Skorpion Extreme Quad Skates
Katipo's extreme quad roller skates are featured
on the Dupont Web site because the wheel surfaces
of the skate are covered and protected by a
DuPont Dow polyolefin elastomer.
Sharp Takes Skating Off the Pavement
Skorpion Extreme Quad Skates were designed and developed
by Sharp Concepts for Katipo Sports Ltd in New Zealand
and the product was launched in February of 2004.
