An improvement to the sporting equipment of in-line skates. The braking system is designed so that all the wheels of the skate are in contact with the ground and that the braking action is manually applied to the wheels. The generic in-line skate has several elements such as a boot and a lower chassis that mount the wheels in series. The standard brake is a friction pad on the lower chassis extension. The structure of this improvement includes three distinct elements, the manual brake actuator, the braking mechanism and a modified lower chassis that accommodates the braking mechanism. The manual brake actuator operates similarly to a bicycle braking system; utilizing levers and cables. As the levers of the manual brake actuator are closed, the wire insert of the cable is moved resulting in engagement of the braking mechanism. This braking mechanism is configured for the two most popular types of braking configurations: the disc pincer type and the drum and shoe type.
