A roller skate comprising a shoe portion having a sole with front and rear regions and a cantilevered member having a free end proximate the front region of the skate and a fixed end opposite the free end. A supporting member is located between and contacting the cantilevered member and the sole. A plurality of front wheels are coupled to each other by a front axle. The front axle biases the free end of the cantilevered member. The skate further includes means for adjusting the position of the supporting member relative to the front axle. The position of the supporting member defines the sizes of the fixed end and the free end of the cantilevered member such that, when the adjusting means moves the supporting member away from the front region of the shoe portion, the size of the free end of the cantilevered member increases, permitting an increased amount of vertical movement of the free end of the cantilevered member and the front axle.
