+I recently picked up longboarding. I enjoy snowboarding, but in the current pandemic + climate change it's looking less sustainable as a hobby, so I'm learning downhill longboarding.
+
+Current setup is pictured, links for individual items:
+
+* [Freebyrd Hiro](https://lushlongboards.com/buy/freebyrd-hiro/) complete
+* Larger wheels are [cultron](https://shop.lushlongboards.com/collections/wheels/products/cult-wheels-cultron-74mm-white), which came with the board as a complete. These are great for cruising, but I am unable to make them slide.
+* Smaller wheels fitted at the moment are [chronicle](https://shop.lushlongboards.com/collections/wheels/products/cult-wheels-chronicle-65mm-white).
+* Gloves are [lush freeride](https://shop.lushlongboards.com/collections/gloves/products/freeride-gloves)
+* [Bullet padset](https://vandemlongboardshop.co.uk/products/bullet-combo-standard-padset-adult)
+* Helmet is just my bike helmet, but I should upgrade to a skate helmet soon for side impact protection.
+* Adidas skate shoes.
+
+I've found the [longboarding subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/longboarding/) very informative, and I enjoy [downhill254](https://downhill254.com/)'s tutorial videos, as he includes some theory rather than just explaining how to do the moves.
