In general, there is no real way to prevent razor tail with street skating, but you can greatly prolong it. Firstly, proper technique is again key — if you don’t have your manuals on lock, you’ll grind your tail down in no time. You can also purchase plastic tail guards that will work great to protect the wood of your tail, although this will definitely sacrifice some of your pop. Lastly, skating in parks and on wood ramps tends to be much easier on your tail, so try and avoid harsh, rough concrete. Still, razor tail is an inevitable eventuality that you can only prolong but not really prevent.
