SICK OF WRECKING YOUR SHOES ?
The POGO-BRAKE can be mounted on any longboard.
This skatebrake is a completely independent system, it does not put friction into the wheels like most other skateboard brake systems do.
So you do not wear down your wheels or burn your bearings.
Braking is so easy, even for beginners, because you only step on the pedal with the heel of your rear foot.
If beginners brake too hard, this longboard braking system does not seize until the rider goes off with a highsider, his weight gets shifted to the front and off the pedal which loosens the brake again.
After several tries, any skater will be able to brake really hard with this skate brake system because you can put almost your whole weight on the brake.
Compared to footbraking, there is no torsion momentum, because this skateboardbrake is centered at the rear end of the deck.
You no longer need sideroom for braking. No more scary situations and swaying board due to sketchy footpositioning.
Also, with this longboardbrake, you will never get your braking foot into the rear wheel again!
Moreover, this longboard brake kills speedwobbles in the germ. A slight touch on the brake stabilizes the board better than anything else.
From aero-speed-tuck with your knee inside and your heel already in the air, you are just a jiffy away from braking position, so race competitors with brakes can react faster than riders without .
Riders have been testing the brake in several IGSA races and this one thing is for sure:
The brake makes your riding safer, -also and mainly at topspeeds!
… and it doesn’t keep you from sliding or footbraking when you have room.Mount and use are dead simple.
You only have to mount two pieces onto your board.
The pad-holder and the pedal.
An adhesive drilling template is included. Position it right in front of the rear truck along the middle line of the board.
Drill 4 tiny holes, same pattern and diameter as for a truck baseplate near the center of the board.
Then you drill a 10mm hole near the rear truck.
That’s it! …as far as the modification of your board is concerned.
Fix the brake under the deck with 4 screws like you would fix a truck. (You can even use risers or angle pads to adjust)
You screw the pedal from the top through the 10 mm hole in the deck into the pad-holder and tighten the lock nut.
Off you go!
The friction pad can be replaced when it’s worn down (2 Screws).
Sewing disclaimer for the US:) This brake may only be used on rugs and carpets at home in the living room.

e entao, o que acham disto?
mais uma bugiganga sem sentido, ou uma grande mais valia uma vez que nao impossibilita o footbraking e o slide? (nao impossibilita mas julgo que possa incomodar em certas situaçoes ali aquele 'pedal')
uma grande inovaçao no sentido de melhorar a segurança (princialmente no DH com as velocidades sp a aumentarem) ou um acessorio que vem tirar a 'pureza' do longboard?
e como novidade que é, vale os 139 euros de venda inicial?
