ROLL NEWS>>>SALES ON A ROLL at HSN!! RollerBall Sells-Out on Home Shopping Network Skates Roll Out at a Rate of 1.5 Pairs a Second LOS ANGELES, July 26 /PRNewswire/ -- RollerBall International Inc. (Nasdaq: ROLL) manufacturers of the patented RollerBall(R) skate line, announced today that during its July 17th on-air appearance on the Home Shopping Network (HSN), 11,682 pairs of RollerBall skates were sold in 131 minutes, at a rate of approximately 1.5 pairs a second. The sold-out presentation showcased RollerBall's 2-ball skate, the RB(R)750 featuring the company's new 70mm red translucent spherical wheels made of cold-cast urethane. RollerBall's inline skates feature spherically shaped wheels instead of the traditional "blade" wheel. In addition to the 2-ball RB(R)750, seventeen skate models currently comprise RollerBall's 2, 3 and 4-ball product lines. "Our spherically-shaped wheels plus a dynamic demonstration of their outstanding levels of control and balance are the reasons for our tremendous success on HSN," said Jack Forcelledo, Founder and CEO of RollerBall International. "Once the advantages of our skates are known, the sales fall in place." The company's inline skates have appeared on HSN for five consecutive years. Over 110,000 pairs of skates have been ordered by HSN since 1995 resulting in over $4.5 million in sales.
