FOOTBRAKE
Seriously. Stopping is just as, if not more important than pushing. Come out to the Saturday Sessions when they start up!

I started a couple months ago, it took me probly a
good 3 weeks to footbrake decently. The above post
is definetly spot on, it's mega important! I found the
best way to learn is to take it wherever you go.

The Avenger is a great starter board b/c you can go fast and slow while being really stable. You should definitley get some BEAR grizzlies on it though; I had crails and randal DH's and they just couldn't turn.
Support the local companies!!!
