A braking assembly for use with a roller skate, the roller skate being wearable by an intended user having a leg, a foot extending from the leg and a hand. The roller skate has a frame, a foot receiving portion coupled to the frame for receiving the foot of the user and first and second wheels rotatably mounted to the frame, the first and second wheels defining respectively a first wheel radius and a second wheel radius. The first and second wheels further define respectively a first wheel circumferential surface and a second wheel circumferential surface. The braking assembly includes a brake shoe defining a wheel contacting surface, the wheel contacting surface including a first arc segment and a second arc segment for respectively abutting against a portion of the first and second wheel circumferential surfaces, the brake shoe being mountable to the roller skate such as to be movable between a released position and an engaged position, wherein in the released position, the brake shoe is substantially spaced apart from the first and second wheel circumferential surfaces and in the engaged position, the first arc segment frictionally abuts against a portion of the first wheel circumferential surface and the second arc segment frictionally abuts against a portion of the second wheel circumferential surface; and an actuator operatively coupled to the brake shoe for selectively moving the brake shoe between the released and engaged positions.
