Abstract

A braking assembly for an in-line roller skate is disclosed. The braking assembly comprises a foot operatable actuation means and at least one rod having a non-circular cross-section and essentially extending in parallel to the moving direction of the in-line roller skate. Upon operating of said foot operatable actuation means, the rod is turned about its longitudinal axis and thereby applying an axial braking force to the sidewall of at least one of the rollers.
