Abstract
An inline roller skate includes a large number of small, light weight wheels arranged along a downwardly convex arcuate line to form a rocker. Braking elements are disposed along a common axis with at least some of the wheels, the braking elements may take the form of various surfaces of revolution, such as conical, cylindrical, ellipsoidal or semispherical. The braking elements are arranged to contact the skating surface when the skater shifts his foot to a direction perpendicular to his direction of movement and leans back on his skate so as to perform an 'ice skating' type braking action.
