A braking system is disclosed for foot-bound roller skates, particularly in-line roller skates, consisting of a method and apparatus for activating the brake, continuously applying braking force while the brake is activated without the application of force to the activating apparatus, and stowing the brake. Preferably, the brake deploys to serve as the aft point on which the skate rides, along with one or more forward wheels.

In a brake for a roller device bound to a skater\s foot for skating on a surface, said device having at least one wheel forward of an aft wheel, the improvement comprising a friction means movable in relation to the plane of the lowermost points of said wheels between a stowed position above said plane and a braking position below said plane, means for deploying the friction means relative to the plane from the stowed position into the braking position, and return means for moving the friction means relative to the plane into the stowed position.
