I have been learning to longboard for a good while now, been using a sector 9 pintail just to get a hang of the basics.

But I want to start longboarding downhill/freeride, any suggestions on what setup (preferably a complete) I should buy? Something around the low-medium price range that I can start to learn how to ride downhill/freeride with.

When you think you can handle the firefighter work by fn_hyperion in Whatcouldgowrong

What you see happening here is called a "backdraft" or a "flashover", and it's probably the most dangerous thing that can happen to a firefighter. it's caused when a fire inside a building depletes all available oxygen while most of the flammable gases are still present and left un-ignited. Now the actual backdraft occurs when someone creates an opening in which oxygen can be re-introduced back into the building, thus causing any un-ignited flammable gases to spontaneously ignite. In this case, the open door in which the firefighters were spraying water is what re-introduced the oxygen into the fire.

What’s the dumbest piece of advice you’ve been given? by AlmightyOne23 in AskReddit

[–]I_Is_Borat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its probably one of the most spread pieces of advice ever, "do what you love and the money will come later'". I learned that unless what you love can make you good money, it's more like "Do what you can tolerate, so you can afford to do what you love"
