A skate brake (10) which allows a user (2) to brake a skate smoothly and evenly without catching on a ground surface (12) utilizes a rotatable assembly (100) with an adjustable rotational friction which rotates about an axis Or rotation (101) when brought into contact with the ground surface (12). The rotatable assembly (100) has a deformable outer circumferential member (102) attached to an inner hub (104). Brake pads (120, 130), secured against rotation, are positioned adjacent to the inner hub (104) so that the inner hub (104) rubs against the non-rotatable brake pads (120, 130) when the rotatable assembly (100) contacts the ground surface (12). The inner hub (104) may form an annular portion (114) which the brake pads (120, 130) may contact during braking. An improved skate (40) utilizes this type of brake. A method for braking skate (40) includes the steps of pivoting the skate (40) about a wheel (48) rotating the rotatable assembly (12) in contact with a ground surface (12) while applying friction to the rotation of the rotatable assembly (100).
