Thank you both for the ideas and tips. To tell you the trouth, I do not have a death wish, so safety is definetly a priority. So, when I buy a deck with all the other parts, those parts include a full face helmet and other protective hear. Knee pads without doubt, sliding gloves anb perhaps elbow pads. Later, if this sport sticks (it will, without a doubt), then cometh the leather. Untill then I can use my leather jacket and I'll be a heavy metal longboarder :D Put on some torn jeans, a chain by my side and a leather jacket, that would turn some heads :)
Sadly, this sport is not well known in my country. I know there are longboarders, dont know any personaly and people dont even know what a longboard is, so I definetly will stand out :) But that is part of the fun :D
One more. The trucks. Should I buy (talking about Randal here) downhill or RII 180? I've read that downhills are incredably stable (those speed wobles look scary :) ) and if you loosen them up, they are ok for carving... So, what would be better?
Thanks again for the help. you guys are great
