Roller skating
Roller skating is a physical activity on roller skates. Roller skating is also a sport when the skaters form a team and compete in events such as roller hockey or roller derby. Roller skating is also performed with certain styles of music and dance steps such as Jam Skating.
The wheels on roller skates are laid out similar to a skateboard, containing a set of trucks and cushions to allow for turning.

Boys rollerskating. "i took a lot of panning shots at the rink yesterday, and almost none of them turned out (which i guess is normal). it was my first attempt at something like this, and i think the dark rink made life a lot more difficult... all these shots are overwhelmed by high ISO noise. this one is probably my favorite of the bunch."
