Abstract
A rolling device such as a roller ski or in-line skate that uses a roller of a hard material with the roller mounted to the frame of the roller ski or in-line skate in such a manner that it can be forcibly moved to contact the elastomeric wheel of the roller ski or in-line skate, causing the softer elastomeric material of the wheel to displace about the harder roller, resulting in a significant increase in rolling resistance with minimum frictional wear. A roller ski or in-line skate that uses, in conjunction with the aforementioned roller, a lever actuated brake permitting the roller ski or in-line skate to be stopped on down hill slopes.
