Rudy Project, the well-known Italian manufacturer of eyewear and technically advanced helmets for sport, has always focused special attention on in-line skating competitions. And this season the greatest teams in this spectacular sport will once again be wearing Rudy Project helmets and glasses.

Amongst others, we`d like to mention the famous Team Fila (www.filaskates.com), Team Roces (www.roces.com), Team Bont (www.bont.com) and In Line Skate Team Pattinatori Più/Rudy Project.

These teams represent the absolute top in world-class in-line skating; their participation in races all around the globe ensures continuous promotion and rugged testing of Rudy Project products under all kinds of conditions.

Made, like the new Ayron™ helmet, with In Mould technology, the Rydon™, Freeon™ and Ekynox SX™ glasses were developed thanks, amongst other things, to the technical advice of these champion skaters. Nor should we forget the invaluable technical support of the Italian Hockey & Skating Federation (FIHP) and, through the agency of Rudy Project North America, of the USA Roller Sports Federation (www.usarollersports.org).

"We`ve won everything there was to win!", declared the ever-exuberant Rudy Barbazza, founder of Rudy Project. Over the years, top in-line skaters wearing Rudy Project products have won innumerable world, European and national championships, and marathons. The latest outstanding victories date back only a few weeks. Matteo Amabili of Team Roces won the Seoul Marathon in South Korea ahead of a field of over 8,000 skaters.

In partnership with Team Fila, we dominated the Hamburg Marathon where the athletes who came first, second and third were all wearing Rudy Project! "This spectacular, highly technical sport has always fascinated me, ever since I founded my company," Rudy continues, "and it teams with our motto - `we work hard, but play harder`".

Rudy Project`s R&D department is now developing a number of new products specifically for in-line skating; they will be on sale next year.
