Skate Session: Terminology: trail or street skating?

Terminology: trail or street skating?

“What do you think is trail vs street skating? I'll give you a few scenarios to vote for, please help me figure this out 😅 and I'd be happy to hear some verbal explanation too – so – which is it? Street or trail?

a) skating a long distance (say – 20-30km or more in one go) with purpose of fitness/speed/getting from a to b

b) commuting or other kind of errand running, but shorter distance than <a> – but still, with the purpose of getting from a to b

c) strolling around town alone or with friends, exploring, not particularly fast and possibly without a clear destination. Maybe ice cream involved

d) doing tricks using urban structures

e) doing tutorial outdoor skates around town -> has a set route, but is still possibly slow and much of a social nature”
