We used to call them Quads, to distinguish them from roller blades.
Now, roller blades are out and roller skates are back in.
I loved roller blading but stopped several years ago when I moved to a hillier city.

Dancing like that. Even during the COVID they are out there doing their skate thing.

I used to love to skate but at my age I’m afraid I hurt myself as soon as I put on the skates!
