A good article to read if you are just starting to downhill.
http://www.loadedboards.com/adam2/blog/index.php?2007/06/26/68-downhill-speedboarding-how-to-get-started
This part is really important so I put it in bold.
"Don’t try to be Mr. or Mrs. Cool and push your luck, be safe when downhill racing. Start out on small hills and work your way up and build your confidence. Once you are comfortable with the smaller hills and the speed go to a slightly bigger hill. Remember you won’t be able to skate when you are dead. Also, be smart when picking hills, cars are your biggest problem so don’t skate super sketchy hills with lots of cars. Be smart and plan times to go skate when there is not that much traffic, etc.
And please make sure you are good at foot braking at high speeds and you should learn how to Coleman slide." |

Motion Boardshop has gotta be my favorite kite shop in Washington.
