A roller skate having a brake assembly attached to at least one wheel journal of the skate. The brake assembly has a brake member which may be selectively and adjustably brought to impart a frictional force against a wheel or wheels of the roller skate. This frictional force reduces the free rotatability of the wheel without otherwise adversely affecting the operational characteristics of the skate.
