What protection is needed for...
In order of importance what protective gear is needed for down hilling and free skating?
obviously a helmet is the number one thing for anythng... but what should i look at spending my money on after that?

yeah bro, get a good set of gloves and pads
also, skate safe, work on the fundamentals like foot breaking, carving off speed etc, you should always be in control of what you're doing and how fast you're going.
meet up with crew and shread man!
oh, and don't listen to people telling you you need precision trucks.....
peace

ironically enuf those are the two sets of gloves i was looking at on hopkin and boardshop
Jackson Bamforth said:protect pads are good and on the cheaper side. Also landyatchz gloves are sick, but if you want a puck on you finger tips go for the loaded gloves.

dude, the more skin you cover, the less it hurts when you fall.
if you're new to longboard, i'd say get as much protection as you can,
there's no way to learn this sport without taking hits, you will fall a lot.
use your noggin, go skate.
peace
