The present invention relates to a brake system for use on roller skate. The brake system is mounted at the rear of the skate and activated by a movement of the cuff. The brake system includes a brake arm pivotally mounted to the frame of the skate about a pivot axis located forwardly of the heel cup and above the imaginary horizontal plane containing the wheel axles. A brake pad is mounted to the brake arm at a location remote from said pivot axis. A brake actuation lever connects the brake arm to the cuff. The actuation lever includes a pair of forwardly extending legs located on the medial and the later sides of the heel cup, respectively. The legs connect with the brake arm at sites intermediate the pivot axis of the brake arm and the brake pad. |
