ABSTRACT:
A brake system slows and/or stops a downhill wheeled board for simulating snowboarding on a snowless terrain. The downhill wheeled board includes a platform having a top and a bottom; at least a first wheel, a second wheel and a third wheel, each wheel having an independent suspension and rotationally mounted to the bottom of the platform for rotation about an axis of rotation; and a brake system. The brake system for the downhill wheeled board includes a control mechanism such as a hand-held trigger, a force splitter such as a Y-plate, a first brake for braking the first wheel and a second brake for braking the second wheel. The force splitter is coupled to the control mechanism for movement by movement of the control mechanism. The first brake is coupled by a first flexible coupling to the force splitter and the second brake is independently coupled to the force splitter. By having a flexible coupling, the independent suspension of the wheels does not affect braking. Thus, movement of the force splitter activates both the first brake and the second brake.
