Team History

The Team was started in 1993 by Chuck Smerdon and Dan Lind.

In that time period the team has raced under several title sponsor names and several different versions of skinsuits. Here is a pictorial history of the team.


We started out as Team Rollerdome/ Penn Cycle from 1993-1994


After a couple of years the team brought onboard BodyGlide as the new title sponsor and was know as Team BodyGlide from 1995-2003 and we had 4 different versions of skinsuits.





Before the 2004 season a relationship was formed with a local Minneapolis company in the sun care products market. For the next 5 years the team went by the name of Team Aloe Up.


At the start of the 2010 season (the start of our 18th year as a team)
we welcomed Hoigaard's as our new title sponsor
(see about our sponsor page for info).


Even with our team changing title names over the years we have maintained the same beliefs and values that we started the team with back in 1993. That is to represent our sponsors and the sport of inline skating to the best of our ability and always put our best foot forward.
