inline skating

Linear wheel sport

Inline skating is a form of skating using boots with wheels arranged in a single line rather than in pairs as on traditional roller skates.

The design mimics the blade of an ice skate, allowing for similar movements on pavement.

Inline skating gained popularity in the 1990s for recreation, fitness, and hockey training.

She goes inline skating along the boardwalk every weekend.
