ROLLERBALL & AMWAY NEWS! Amway Corporation Selects Rollerball Skates For its New Catalog World Leader in Direct Selling is the Third Major Company to Include Innovative Skate Line in its National Catalog LOS ANGELES, July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- RollerBall International Inc. (Nasdaq: ROLL) manufacturers of the patented RollerBall(R) skate line, announced today that Amway Corporation, one of the largest direct selling companies in the world, has selected three skates from the RollerBall line for Amway's Spring and Summer 2000 catalog. Catalogs will be forwarded to distributors this month and will run through July of 2000. Amway has more than 80 markets throughout the world. The three skates chosen for the Amway catalog are the GFX(R)3 'Steppin' Out', a three 60mm ball skate geared towards the youth market, with a "walk around" liner that allows youths to "step out" and walk around; the four 60mm ball GFX(R)4 5500, a uni-sex skate available in sizes 5-12 and the four ball GFX(R)4 5500LE, specially designed for the traditional woman's foot, available in women's sizes 6-10. "RollerBall's exposure to the public is steadily increasing. Having one of the world's largest multi-market level companies recognize our company is a ringing endorsement," says Jack Forcelledo, Founder and CEO of RollerBall International. "The word is getting out on our product. The balance and control of our patented spherical wheels allow the beginning skater to almost immediately begin inline skating and increases the skill levels of intermediate skaters. All of this is available at consumer-friendly prices." RollerBall has also had successful runs in several JCPenney catalogs and continues that relationship. The company is set to appear in three nationally distributed Fingerhut Catalogs. RollerBall's innovative line uses spherical "ball-shaped" wheels instead of the traditional disc-shaped "blade" wheels. The unique shape of the RollerBall wheel allows skaters more balance, control and stability. RollerBall skates are recognized as being one of the safest and easiest to skate inline skates in the market. RollerBall skates are currently available at retail outlets nationwide including selected Jumbo Sports, Dunham's, MVP Sports and G.I. Joe's. The Company's skates are also sold at Champs, Sport Chalet as well as through Home Shopping Network and are available from the Internet outlets Shopping.com and RollerBall Sports On-line, a new feature of the Company's Web site www.rollerballskates.com.
