inline skate

Single-row wheel boot

An inline skate is a roller skate with wheels arranged in a single line rather than in pairs side by side.

Inline skates became popular in the 1990s for recreation and fitness, largely replacing traditional quad skates.

The verb is to inline skate or go inline skating: We inline skated along the boardwalk.
