Description:
Reverse Sports, Inc. is an innovative action sports company, specializing in the design, manufacture, and distribution of versatile products and platforms that make recreational action sports easier, more accessible, and ultimately, more fun!
The Founders of Reverse Sports have assembled a highly talented core team with over 150 years combined in the roller sports and youth marketing industries. Together we have developed Reverse’s first product introduction – the RX.1 Skate System – that is focused on REinventing and REinvigorating the skate category.
Reverse has partnered with Flow Sports Inc., a leader in snowboard bindings, to update the age-old concept of skates that fit over your shoe, to create a convenient, comfortable, multi-use, speed entry binding system that allows users to quickly and simply slip their sneaker or other low-heeled shoe into a sleek and supportive binding. We have further expanded this concept by making our bindings/platforms expandable to fit a range of shoe sizes, and, by using our proprietary patent-pending UXS “Universal Crossover System” technology that makes our binding platform compatible with any of four interchangeable chassis systems (Quad, In-line, Ice and Figure). So, for the first time ever you can roller skate to the ice rink, change out your chassis in a quick and easy two-minute process, and then jump on the ice to skate or play hockey. Finally, both consumers and rental businesses alike will be able to customize their skates by using our branding technology licensed from Create Originals.
In short, we have created our first product, the RX.1 Skate System as a truly disruptive technology that will not only REvitalize this product category, but will provide both experienced and recreational skaters with an efficient, adjustable, and affordable new way to explore the thrill and enjoyment of skating.
