skatist Definition

A skatist is a person who rides or performs maneuvers on a skat, a small, skateboard-like board used in the sport of skateskating. Skatists often perform tricks and maneuvers, typically on ramps, stairs, and other obstacles. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with 'skateskater' or 'skateboarder', but 'skatist' specifically refers to a variant board that is smaller and faster.
