A skate braking system includes a first wheel mount for holding wheels and a second wheel mount for holding additional wheels. A mounting plate is pivotally attached to the first and second wheel mounts. A first side brake mount for holding a first side brake pad and a second side brake mount for holding a second side brake pad are coupled to the mounting plate. The first side brake pad engages a skating surface when the mounting plate is tilted laterally in a first direction relative to the wheel mounts. The second side brake pad engages the skating surface when mounting plate is tilted laterally in a second direction opposite the first direction. The braking system may further include a biasing device for urging the mounting plate to have a normal orientation at which the first and second side brake pads do not engage the skating surface.
