Our Name!! Important Enough to read

Hello, I've done some research over the past year. Skateboarders known skaters?, BMX is for Bikes, Skootering?
I was wondering what we call ourself?
Fruit Booters
Rollerbladers
Bladers
Skaters
Aggressive Inline
Inliners
ect...
We need a universal name people help one another out!...

P.S. I'm not posting this to form an argument i just need a name i can call what i do without changed it everytime.

I got this idea from "Barely Dead" (rollerblading documentary)

ROLLERBLADERS. Thats it, it is what it is. It's not freestyle rolling, not aggressive inline, just rollerblading. It always has been and always will be. We don't need to change the name around to try and make it sound cool or distinct from other factions of rollerblading, it's still going to be rollerblading at the end of the day.

actually rollerblade started just as the company but becuz of its products popularity to inliners it was takin and used as a common word so technicaly speaking inline or agg inline is correct but rollerblade is the most common

Right, but rollerblading is the most commonly used word to describe what we do, so as far as I'm concerned, is IS the proper term for what we do. All the other words people use to try and re-identify what we do are just the equivalent to putting lipstick on a pig.

Bladers man people get rollerbladers as people in a skate-ring. bladers would be more understandable. Or freestyle-rollers any1

does it matter? I guess I have never been one for labels in any aspect of my life. I use both skating and rollerblading but at the same time I don't think it matters....maybe thats just me
