A braking system is provided for an in-line roller skate for skating on hard skate- supporting surfaces. The braking system includes a braking wheel positioned generally in alignment with and behind the plurality of aligned wheels. In one aspect, the braking wheel is movably supported on the roller skate by a support mechanism for sliding movement between various braking positions such that, as the braking wheel engages the hard surface with increasing force, the braking wheel moves toward a braking pad and generates increasing braking force. Various support mechanism for slideably supporting the braking wheel are disclosed. In another aspect, the braking system includes a hub supported on the frame for rotatably supporting the braking wheel. The hub and the braking wheel include friction-generating surfaces such that the ground engaging braking wheel causes a braking action with the hub as the braking wheel rollingly engages with the ground supporting surface.
