Blading

/ˈbleɪdɪŋ/ noun

Definition

The action or sport of rollerblading or inline skating; collectively, the blades or blade-like components of a device.

Etymology

From 'blade' + '-ing' (gerund/present participle suffix). Can refer both to the activity and to the physical blades themselves as a component.

Kelly Says

Competitive blading in the 1990s created a whole urban culture and aesthetic—it's wild how a simple equipment modification (wheels in a line instead of four corners) sparked an entire youth movement!
