Abstract
A roller skate is disclosed which has three modes of operation. A first mode in which the roller skate may move both forward and backwards, a second mode in which the skate may roll forward only and a third mode in which the skate is prevented from rolling in either direction. A pair of locking rods are disposed in the lower chassis of the skate. The locking rods are adapted to be wedged against a locking surface of a wheel on the skate such to affect the three modes of operation as described.
