a type of skating that is performed on paved surfaces like streets or roads, often using inline skates or rollerblades

Road skating is a type of inline skating that takes place on outdoor streets, roads, or paths, rather than on a track or rink. Skaters use inline skates to glide on smooth, paved surfaces, often covering long distances. It can be done recreationally, for fitness, or as a competitive sport. Road skating requires good control and balance, as skaters must navigate traffic, obstacles, and varying road conditions. It is a popular activity in urban areas and can involve both solo and group skating, with participants enjoying the challenge of moving quickly and efficiently on open roads.

  • Road skating events and races attract participants from around the world.

  • Speed is a thrill of road skating, but it's important to skate responsibly and follow traffic rules.
