Bombsquad Longboarding, located in Arlington, Texas, has developed a new product for longboarders that is designed to protect a board from crash damage and potentially ruining a board. The original idea for a “noseguard” came, as you can imagine, from a crash that wiped out a favorite board.
The initial idea was to come up with a way to protect the nose of a board from impact crash damage. After a few ideas were put together in the shop, a prototype noseguard was fabricated and we began using it on our longboards and it really worked on some very hard hits.
With a built in vert-lam tail and a mellow nose, the Ceviche takes the best aspects of Loaded's Fish, dices it up and dishes out something brand new. Similar in deck length to the Fish, but with a shorter wheelbase, the Ceviche can be ridden between the trucks for pumping or off the tail for an aggressive, surfy feel.
The tail is a bit softer than a traditional street deck tails, allowing for rebound and responsiveness. While the board can be ollied and lends itself to many standard street skating tricks, tech tricks are not it's primary intention. Loose and agile, it's time to explore the limits of your sidewalk and hill thrashing abilities.
The crew at Bustin Boards has released their latest model, the Strike, which features traditional Bustin contours packed into an ultra low, drop-through design. Their first drop-through model, the 38-inch deck is designed for multi-discipline performance riding and is one of the most versatile boards on the market. The Strike is unique because of its forward-cambered, concave drop-through design which gives it the rebound of a more flexible board, but the stability of a lower-style setup. The most camber exists in the front third of the board, creating a sweet spot with strong rebound for the optimal kick, push and coast. The signature Bustin shape also offers the advantage of increased truck wedging in both the front and rear for fluid maneuverability and greater response to the rider. In addition, the Strike offers a small tail and nose for manuals which have been thoroughly tested to withstand rider wear and tear-- unlike some other similar attempts across the industry. Staying with their commitment to greener design, the 8-ply layup is made with 100% sustainably-harvested maple from North America.
You know how it gets, those long nights in the warehouse after all the skating's done, the various hangers-on have departed and the only people left at the skateboard factory and you and the guards hired to protect against fire-bomb wielding thugs from some big, corporate monolith you've managed to piss off? Heck, you can't even talk to the guards without riling up their rottweilers, so it's just you and the internet. There are two things to do: hit the infamous Silverfish chat rooms or make one of your own...
