Abstract:
A braking apparatus for a wheeled recreational riding board apparatus, characterised in that it comprises a wheel mounting assembly arranged to rotate about an axle of the board apparatus, the wheel mounting assembly having a first braking surface and a braking member disposed about the axle and being arranged to move along the axle, the braking member having a second braking surface, the first and second braking surfaces being relatively rotatable, in use, the braking apparatus further comprising a rider operated actuator associated with the braking member whereby operation of the actuator, in use, by a rider causes the braking member to move towards the wheel mounting assembly, thus causing the second braking surface to contact the first braking surface causing braking to be effected, the actuator being operated by the manipulation of a trigger, and wherein the trigger must be manipulated in more than one direction in order to operate the actuator.
