People who skateboard on ramps are called “vertical skaters.” People who skateboard on anything they can find are called “street skaters.” And people who ride on flat ground only are called “freestyle skaters.”
Freestyle skaters are usually the most graceful. They do handstands, jumps, spins, and twirls, often performing planned routines set to music. They are the “ice skaters” of skateboarding.

Are there just “skaters”?

I get it now. Well after I used an online french-english dictionary. No but it does seem that they were possibly ‘vert’ if I am interpreting the definition correctly.

Bill Tocco ensconced in G&S fresh gear, back when it was socially acceptable. Gesmer was the logical choice for the “ice skater” of skateboarding.

Ive been asked by kids a couple of times “are you vert?”. Its seems like an odd question to me.
