Nose Guards
Seems theres a bit of interest in these so if you want one for your board i can make one. Just need a template of the nose section (paper, wood) It is better to have the deck to get it perfect.
OK HERES HOW IT WORKS, You send me a paper template, Youll need a peice about 200 x 200. Take the front truck off your board and place paper, or perefably light carboard under the nose and past the truck holes. Trace it, Truck cutout and holes, and make sure its correct cause i will use that as the actuall template by glueing it to my Alum base plate (then i will weld the actuall guard to that) I will also need to know the thickness of your deck, most important..
It is better if i can get your deck or the actuall model deck to make it with, so for those in the Shire im in Caringbah, you can drop it off.
Post the template to:

I'm looking to get one for a wayne avenger and maybe a wayne rival, if you already have a template for the avenger could you tell me but you probably won't have one for the rival I'm guessing

Hey mate, just wondering if you have any Nemesis guards in stock (I would prefferably be able to pick up 2 today in steel if I could). They're for a Carbon Matrix but the Matrix was designed around the Nemesis front end, so the Bombsquad Nemesis guard fits perfect. Cheers mate

So I got my board back today and these are my thoughts:
First Impressions - When I dropped my board off last week to Col, I found him easy to talk to and describe what I wanted done. All in all, I got the impression this was a good guy and had no hesitation leaving my board in his care
Appearance - The guards are extremely attractive in RAW finish and are made to fit around the nose perfectly (no un-even gaps). The guards are also bottom mounted, which ALWAYS looks better than top mounted ones (such as the Bombsquad alternative).
Construction - Being that my Carbon Matrix is my pride and joy, the biggest fear on my mind was always how the guards would hold up in a decent impact, well, today I found out.. I was working on holding out my Colemans longer on this one hill near home which has those curved gutters, so it wouldn't have really mattered if I lost the board. The only real hazard is a storm water drain at the bottom where the hill levels out and goes back up. Well, I slipped off the board at a decent speed and, can you believe it, the Matrix speared nose first into the drain and smashed into the concrete on the other side of it. I was mortified looking at my board sticking out of the drain at a 45* angle. I walked over expecting to see my new guards bent to sh!t and my board damaged. I carefully removed it.. NO DAMAGE!!!! the guard wasn't even scratched or even slightly bent. The board was still perfect due to the rubber between the guard and the board acting as a shock absorber and distributing the force evenly.
Customer Service - Col and I agreed on Friday as the pick up day and, as promised, I received a message in the morning letting me know that my guards and board were ready to be collected. I was kept well informed and given honest replies.
Conclusion - Don't bother wasting your money on those fugly top-mounted Bombsquad guards that take forever to arrive and are actually more expensive. If you want to protect your sh!t, Col's your man. This is the first time I've bought home-grown and I will again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Thanks again Col :)
