It's the funnest part of skating IMO, but if you don't know how to powerslide you're fucked.

However, make sure you take it a bit easy at first and get your speed checks in order.
Nothing wrong also with wearing a helmet, whatever pads you can endure, and some solid gloves.
I have a friend who is a living testament to being safe when it comes to hills.
He was bombing one of our local spots when we were about 16-17 and caught
some bad wobbles. He went to check up and his wheels bit causing him to get
thrown pretty damn hard resulting in him honestly landing head first. This
knocked him stone out and cracked his skull. Got him to the hospital and he
was in a coma for almost a week. Luckily it didn't kill him, but the swelling and
such from the injury made him a bit slower in his speech and thought processing.
He also suffers from pretty severe seizures sometimes that were triggered from
the injury. It been over twenty years, but he still likes to get out and skate still.
Not trying to talk you out of any of this, just saying to keep yourself in check
cause I don't like seeing anyone get hurt or messed up for life because of
skateboarding.

Oh yes sir !
I personally love hillbombing...
Have had my cruiserwheels for three years and last summer i managed to buy 9'' cruiserdeck to get it further.
I'n Finland hills aren't that big but luckily there's quite many good one's in my smallish hometown.
Usually you can hit them only at night because lot of cars at the daytime. I'm making a little RL full length later this year and i'm definately gonna make hillbombing/hillcruising part in it.
But yes I love to cruise or bomb down the hills.
I bomb toilets.
I used to bomb hills more back in the day. Nowadays I'd rather hit up a more mellow hill and just do big carves.
why i dont bomb hills anymore
IM A BOSS ASS BITCH
What idiot takes the bushings out of their trucks.
My entire body hurts just trying to THINK of bombing with that.
Nah but I ride a flat out cruiser board. Creature Brue Killer <3
