Back to Our Skating Friends

Coming in the Future will be a Tribute to Charles W. Snyder (my Grandfather), Founder, Designer and Inventor of the Snyder Skate Company, with many Roller Skate innovations and Patents to his credits.  He captured 24 hours of edited 16mm Films from 1939 to 1970 of most of the US National (USARSA & RSROA) Championships along with several ICE Skating events.  These films have been professionally transferred to video and has been placed in the Roller Skating Museum, in Lincoln, NE.  We plan to bring these Historical Films of many of the Great Skaters of those years to the web for all to enjoy.
