A low profile roller skate has a chassis to which a wearer's shoe or foot can be securely fastened. Front and rear axles extend from angled slots in either side of the chassis, and are biased toward a horizontal, straight-ahead position. A wearer can steer the skate by leaning in the direction of a desired turn, thus causing the axles to move along the slots and pivot in a direction which causes the wheels to turn in the desired direction. The wheels can be biased toward a straight-ahead position by resilient torque blocks sandwiched between top and bottom chassis halves. The skate can further be provided with toe and heel brakes, removable grind pads, over-molded wheels, and quick-release straps.
