@Teplitzskate Definitely fun, definitely doable, but there's a reason they are the small minority of DH skate decks out there. Starters back in the day went full stinkbug to learn which is the only...

@Diego Murray I agree with this halfway, I don't think 27 inches is pushing it as much as 20 is.
Requirement: Slidey freeride wheels are essential. You'll need the ability to break traction, which is more challenging at lower speeds. I recommend between 63 and 73 mm height. Finding out which w...
A footstop is any object placed on the top, front side of a skate deck, secured with bolts through new holes in the deck and/or through the holes for securing the trucks. This object serves the dua...

@Anissa Chavez I saw you were just starting out, I'd honestly just do a looser front truck bushing and not go faster than you can slide. If you are not sure if you will ever ride switch, don't ride...
New olders has the cheapest, good enough, full faces around, if you're under 45 mph I'd say get one!
I've been using a standard skating helmet type situation but am looking ahead to when I'll need a full face helmet. If anyone has any recommendations on helmets they like or tips for buying them le...
I like my skate sesh like how I like my spliff, Spicy and shared with the Homies.
