Title: Skate board wheel brake assembly

Abstract: A skate board wheel brake assembly is shown having a foot activated, resilient brake arm secured near the rear end of a skate board with the arm having a first portion having brake shoes thereon and formed to be in close proximity to the rear wheels of the skate board and a second extended portion having a brake depressor formed at the end thereof, so that downward pressure by the user on the brake depressor causes the brake shoe to apply braking force to the rear wheels of the assembly. In one embodiment, the skate board wheel brake assembly may be mounted to a skate board having conventional wheels mounted thereon. In a second embodiment, the skate board wheel brake assembly includes the rear wheels and is attached to the rear end of a conventional skate board. In a third embodiment, the brake assembly is molded to be integral with the skate board.
