rollerblader

Wheels-on-feet person

A rollerblader is someone who rollerblades—glides on inline skates, which have wheels arranged in a single row rather than the two-by-two configuration of traditional roller skates.

The term derives from Rollerblade, the brand that popularized inline skating in the 1980s: A rollerblader weaved through the crowd on the boardwalk.
