If the latter is the case, you might have noticed that they weren't providing too much info about what they were actually brewing over there in Holland.

Olga Bouwhuis and Pieter Wijnant founded adapt 20 months ago because they saw potential for hand crafted skates made from high quality materials. And here they are now, explaining to us where this has taken them so far.

Founded in 1992, Scribe was a big player in the glory days of blading with a larger number of product available for the skaters needs.
