I enjoy snowboarding, but in the current pandemic + climate change it's looking less sustainable as a hobby, so I'm learning downhill longboarding. 12 13 Current setup is pictured, links for individual items: 14 15 * [Freebyrd Hiro](https://lushlongboards.com/buy/freebyrd-hiro/) complete 16 * 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. 17 * Smaller wheels fitted at the moment are [chronicle](https://shop.lushlongboards.com/collections/wheels/products/cult-wheels-chronicle-65mm-white). 18 * Gloves are [lush freeride](https://shop.lushlongboards.com/collections/gloves/products/freeride-gloves) 19 * [Bullet padset](https://vandemlongboardshop.co.uk/products/bullet-combo-standard-padset-adult) 20 * Helmet is just my bike helmet, but I should upgrade to a skate helmet soon for side impact protection. 21 * Adidas skate shoes. 22 23 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.
