skater
Wheels or blades
A skater is someone who skates—on ice skates, roller skates, or a skateboard.
The term often implies regular practice or skill rather than occasional recreation: The skaters at the park can do incredible tricks.
In figure skating and roller derby, skater is the standard term for participants.
