![]() ![]() De Ribeaumont wore elaborate armour, with sliding plates across his chest edged with bronze and plated gold, with verses from the Bible in hammered silver. Tancred Guisarme, the Royal Constable and the oldest man present by twenty years, wore the highly decorated armour of his jousting guild, made to look as if he were himself a young dragon, all in green metal and gold trim. His arm and leg harnesses were made of scales as small as the tip of a lady’s finger, in alternating rows of silver, gold, and copper-bronze. Steilker, the Master of Crossbowman, wore black armour with gold lettering praising God Vasilli, the Master of the King’s Works and sometime architect of the King’s castles, wore a breast- and backplate and maille. No one was likely to challenge him to fight to the death, as he was both commonly born and foreign, but it spoke volumes for the Rule of War that even he wore metal. Abblemont himself wore plain white harness – excellent stuff, utterly without adornment, the way the Etruscans made it. The right flank archers got several flights into the enemy, and the heavy arrows tore through them, striking the unarmoured rumps of their warhorses. Then Tom put his lance down, tucked his head, and the whole world became the point of his lance and the man in red and gold he had chosen as his target. He roared as his lance struck home, knocking his opponent down, the horse falling sideways, and Tom released his lance – hopelessly tangled in the man’s guts – and took the axe from his pommel as he ducked a lance aimed at him. His axe cut, rose to cover him against the shaft of another lance, and then he was deep into the enemy, past the lance shafts, his axe smashing into them, his battlecry a palpable thing inside his faceplate. He rose in his stirrups, caught a knight unawares with a smashing blow from above that caused the welds in the crown of the helmet to split and his brains to leak out like juices from a split melon. GREATHELM OF PHANTASMIC REALITY PROFESSIONAL.You can always know that a new deck from Bombsquad did not come from an engineers cad design, it comes from riding in the real world and striving to meet a set of performance characteristics identified in the downhill test lab. ![]() ![]() Our company goal is pretty simple – “Deliver high performance longboarding products that deliver maximum results to our customers.” That is easy to say, but can actually be difficult to do. The SaltFlat aluminum speedboard that you will find in our webstore at is the result of real riding research design development. We accumulated quite a pile of rejected designs that just did not deliver in real world downhill riding. Our first adventure into producing a high performance longboard deck began several years ago with the same trial and error process as our Noseguards. They are sold all over the world and are found in many retail stores and ecommerce sites. Bombsquad now offers a patent pending Noseguard design to fit most popular decks. ![]() It took a lot of trial and error development to find a Noseguard design that actually worked and was easy to mount. Nasty head-on terminal crashes were ending the life of too many great decks! The idea of coming up with a protective device for the nose of longboards originated from our personal losses of great decks. Thus the Bombsquad noseguard.īombsquad Longboarding actually began about three years ago with the development of our Noseguard product line. So after a several tweaks and changes, we’ve come up with a full proof way to give your expensive board some inexpensive insurance. We pretty much started out by coming up with an idea to save the front of our boards in the event that they shot off into a curb at high speeds. We also get a lot of help from the rest of our Bombsquad crew as well. ![]()
