Hey guys just a quick question. I got my evo with 35 and 50* randals, a set of super reds, a set of lime and a set of yellow big zigs for christmas. I wan't to use it to get into a bit of downhill. I have taken it up to about 30 in Eugowra but that is it rofl
Any ideas for entry level sports around Canberra to work my way up? Btw I'm 13 so yeah. Ive been shortboarding for a few years. Thanks guys :)

all the canberra guys will be happy to teach you as long as you have a the safety gear.

Hi thanks for the intel :) I have a 35 plate in the front and a 50 in the back. I am going to get a kingpin for the back so i can run barrels all around. I am using homemade gloves and a helmet for now. I am going to buy some new gloves and pads very soon because I skinned both knees and elbows and learnt how important they are :) I will be sure to get on to you guys as soon as I get all of the gear I need. Parents won't like me skating with skinned knees and elbows with out them... I live in narrabundah ty

bro. home mades are fine, unless you happen to have the spare cash and there is nothing els you want (even then A+ will over charge bigtime. buy online). sounds like an awsome set up ya got, my DH set up is very similar. also cant speak for elbow pads but if you dont have kneepads before this weekend id be happy to lend ya some, dont stress to much about buying all ya gear right away.

They stock loaded race and freeride gloves. But given your age they may not fit. The race gloves are $120 and the free rides are $100. Go try some on but they may only have larger sizes. The smalls fit my hands well so they may not fit a 13 year old so well. Make some decent ones at home out of bike gloves maybe?
Edit: pretty much what ash said. He rides in home made gloves if I remember correctly.
