ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a speed control pole to be used by a skater. The speed control pole has an elongated shaft with an upper end and a lower end, a roller/wheel mounted to the lower end of the shaft, a braking mechanism for contacting the roller, and a hand grip system for actuating the braking mechanism. The braking mechanism includes a brake pad which is caused to be moved inwardly against the roller and downwardly into contact with a skating surface when actuated. The brake pad includes an arcuately shaped surface for contacting the roller and a lower surface formed by two angled substantially planar surfaces. During a braking mode of operation, the arcuately shaped surface is brought into contact with the roller. During a pushing off mode of operation, the arcuately shaped surface remains in contact with the roller and the substantially planar surfaces are sequentially brought into contact with the skating surface.
