Powerslide - Brand Insight

The "We Love to Skate" Story

By Stephanie | March 2019

The Brand History

Our story began back in 1994 when the inline boom was launching. The whole “new inline skate wave” crossed the Atlantic Ocean and resulted in the foundation of Powerslide. The driving salesman and speed skater Matthias Knoll alongside his business partner Stefan Gšhl set the stage and created an impressive company history. Initially, Powerslide's assortment of products was composed for the most part by those already established in the booming inline paradise in the USA. However, it didn’t stop there, soon they completed their collection with some well known in-house brands, before finally going on to create their very own product line. By 1997 the dream of creating their own brands had become a reality.

The Vision

WE LOVE TO SKATE

The passion for products and the love for the sport has driven Powerslide over the past two decades. The product range has been developed step by step and Powerslide successfully managed to create new and exciting products as well as to establish new brands in the roller sport universe.

Powerslide has become the driving force in the inline industry, always striving for fresh ideas to make products better and to make the impossible possible.

Powerslide is the pioneer of the Triskate revolution. Their Triskate technology can be found in all skating disciplines – from fitness and kids skating to speed skating, from urban skating to off-road skating and hockey. The Powerslide ethos centers around their core values of innovation, quality, performance and design. You can see this in every detail of their products.

The Powerslide collection is composed of what many would consider to be the most complete product range available in the inline market.
