Drop-through longboard universal simple nose guard
After the first time looking freezed at your longboard going to hit on something really fast, you will desidere to protect your longboard’s nose.
Longboards can be very expensive and some brands produce nose guards that fits their boards.
I’ve been looking around on the web for a nose-guard for my Dervish Sama, but I couldn’t find anything (there’s one custom made for the old Dervish, not for the Sama) that I liked.
Searching on the web, you’ll find that there are 3 main type of self-made nose guards:
– Duct tape
– Glue
– Tubing
All these solutions are effective but they are boring to remove and your longboard will look… ugly.
I just wanted something small and that I could remove in any moment… I don’t really need it when cruising through the city. The solution I found it is:
– for drop-through longboards only
– good for freeriding
– not suited for downhill
– it works only for the central part of your nose (but most of the times it’s where it gets hitted)
– it’s simple to do, you can remove and reposition it in a couple of seconds all the times you want
