A skate brake and methods for multiple braking effects for in-line skates, roller skates and like devices is disclosed. The skate brake comprises of a wheel rotatively mounted to an axle being occupied between runners and located within slots of a chassis with said axle being held against said slots by springs and said axle is a linkage to which is affixed a friction surface used for contacting the skating surface with a segment of said linkage bearing upon a ramp which in turn changes the direction of motion of said axle as it translates through said slots against said springs under the effect of a skater's weight and momentum, forcing said friction surface into contact with said skating surface.
