Bustin YOFACE Hybrid Deck + Will Royce – Bustin Longboards NYC
By Mike | May 16, 2012
The newest deck to the Bustin lineup is 35 inches long and named “YOFACE”. This deck was designed for the all around skateboarder who wants more from a regular skateboard and less from a longboard. We thought about it and collectively came up with the Bustin YOFACE design, utilzing YOUR feedback. The wheel wells were designed into the m0ld and then sanded out for extra clearance. Wheelbite is no longer a problem. Watch Bustin Will Royce skate this deck with ease then try one for yourself! One Love from Bustin Boards.

What’s the difference between longboarding and skateboarding? The Yoface is Bridging the Gap – Bustin Longboards NYC
By Ryan | May 16, 2012
Introducing the Yoface - Skateboarding Meets Longboarding
Heads up from Bustin Headquarters – The new Yoface decks are in the warehouse and ready to hit the streets to further bridge the gap between longboarding and skateboarding. The new deck is scheduled to launch late today on bustinboards.com and is expected to bring about a new age of world peace. Stay tuned to Bustin for the in and out specs and check out some pics below for a sneak peak of the new ship.
Stocked and ready to rock - Bustin Longboards NYC
Bustin Brooklyn introduces “The Skateboard”. The Bustin Yoface is the first deck in the Bustin lineup to integrate the classic skateboard feel–with a twist.
Longboard + Skateboard = Yoface. Get bigger wheels.
Designed with tech sliding and bowl riding in mind and equally serving as an ollieable city cruiser, the Yoface is the first twin-kicked board of its kind. What makes it different from any old 35-inch popsicle deck is that it incorporates wheel wells built into the concave with the addition of a sanded wheel well, allowing you to run larger wheels with less riser while getting more turn without bite. You also get the added benefit of vice grip concave between the wheel wells and the tails. Your feet have never felt more at home.
Bonus Droppings Specifically Designed for the Yoface
Precision CNC'd - Laser Engraved - Bushings Included
Surprise. We’re also launching today a brand new Surf-Rodz/Bustin Collabo truck. This Indeesz 159mm setup will be offered in this special edition color scheme with engraved logos. We’ll be selling through bustinboards.com only for $119, including a fully assembled, precision tuned bushing setup created precisely for this deck and the wheels we’ll be offering. Quantities of these are limited so keep in touch for stock status and availability. Check back with the Bustin Site later today for more details!

Our artists are working their hearts out in our Brooklyn shop, but good work takes time. If you haven’t heard, we specially print all custom longboards by hand in our Brooklyn Labs. Why? Glad you asked.

What’s up Bustin Fam. We wanted to slow down for a minute and reach out to our community for some feedback. And not the usual board reviews kind. We’re working on making the Bustin Boards experience better, so to that effect, we’re working on our website. Let us know what you think! Give us any sort of criticism (constructive if you will) regarding the layout, features in places, features you would like to see, or anything you would change about the website. This includes all sections of the site, from the Home Page to the Custom Build-A-Board to the Limited Edition Build-A-Board to the Board Specs to the Store and all of the sublinks at the bottom of the page. If your bored, poke around and get some brain exercise thinking of ways we can tighten down the ship.
To give us your feedback, leave a comment on this blog post or shoot an email to Jon at “skate@bustinboards.com”. Please be specific and link to referenced pages if necessary.
Thanks to everyone and happy spring sessions. One Love from Bustin Brooklyn.
