A roller blade ice wheel assembly for using roller blades on ice includes a plurality of blade wheel apparatuses each comprising a wheel body having a central wheel aperture, a pair of wheel sidewalls, and a wheel edge. The wheel edge is less than 0.5 cm. At least one bearing is coupled to the wheel body. The bearing receives an axle of a roller blade through a bearing aperture and the wheel aperture. Each of a plurality of spacers has a central spacer aperture to receive the axle of the roller blade. The plurality of spacers is positioned on both sides of the bearing to occupy space up to a wheel frame of the roller blade. The width of the blade wheel apparatus is dimensioned to equal the width of a wheel of the roller blade that is being replaced.

A removable skateboard brake apparatus for easily adding and removing brakes to a skateboard includes a clip base having a base underside and a base top side. A clip top has a top underside and a top top side. The top underside is pivotably coupled to the base top side. A spring is coupled to the clip base and the clip top to bias the clip top towards the clip base. The clip base and the clip top are attached to a deck of a skateboard. A brake housing has a housing top side coupled to the base underside, a housing bottom side, a housing inner side, a housing outer side, and a pair of housing lateral sides. A brake pad is coupled to the brake housing. The brake pad is coupled to the housing bottom side to contact a wheel perimeter of a wheel of the skateboard.
