ABSTRACT:
Roller skis have an effective braking system. At least one friction producing braking element, such as a truncated cone of friction producing plastic resin (e.g. polyurethane) or rubber, is mounted to the bottom of a roller ski so that it overlaps the inner edge of the roller ski, positioned along the roller ski generally at the position at which the ski boot is mounted. The braking element may be connected to the roller ski by a separate attachment comprising a channel-shaped element with a screw clamp for connecting the channel-shaped element to the ski, and with the braking element extending downwardly from the channel. When it is desired to stop while practicing Nordic skiing (cross-country skiing) or Alpine skiing, the skier simulates a "snow plowing" maneuver, which brings the braking elements at the inside edges of both skis into contact with the ground, causing the roller skis to stop.
