rollerblading
Wheeled pavement gliding
Rollerblading is skating on inline skates—boots with wheels arranged in a single row rather than side by side.
The term comes from Rollerblade, a brand name that became generic.
People rollerblade for exercise, transportation, or recreation: We went rollerblading along the boardwalk.
The activity surged in popularity during the 1990s.
