A braking assembly and method are disclosed for use with wheeled skating apparatus having a plurality of wheels rotatably connected with a support structure, the assembly including a band of relatively resilient material positioned at the outer circumference of a selected one of the plurality of wheels, a mount securable adjacent to the support structure, and a brake pad movably connected with the mount and positioned adjacent to the selected wheel for selectively contacting a surface associated with, and preferably in, the selected wheel. An actuator is operatively associated with the brake pad for selectively causing the pad to contact the surface.
