Abstract
A tandem roller skate employing a suspension system by which the tandem positioned wheels are articulated relative to each other through a truck and beam arrangement to absorb loads imposed on any one wheel and transmit the load to the other of the wheels. A braking arrangement is formed by a leaf spring positioned to selectively engage either a forward or rearward wheel of the skate to exert a variable frictional load impeding rotational movement.
