Abstract
The invention provides braking systems and methods for slowing or stopping a roller skate having a plurality of wheels. In one exemplary system, at least one braking surface is spaced-apart from the wheels. A rotatable wheel engaging member is positioned between the braking surface and at least one of the wheels. The rotatable wheel engaging member is caused to rotate when moved against at least one of the wheels when rotating. Further, the rotatable member has an engaging surface which moves against the braking surface upon rotation of the rotatable member by the wheel to slow or stop the wheel.
