Push Culture Longboarding – The Video Contest Starts Now

35 Replies

At Bustin Boards Brooklyn we develop boards for Push Culture longboarding in New York City.  What does this mean?  It means we use our boards for everything from getting to work to going to concerts and we almost never use cars.  Living in the city, every skate is an adventure and no two rides are the same.  There is Point A and Point B, but what matters is life in between.  Where do you skate to and from?  This contest is for you to show off your version of longboard commuting in style and show the world how you live life one skate at a time.

Here is the deal.  The theme of the video should be “My Push Culture”.  Choose a Point A and a Point B and make a video showing the thrill of the line in between.  You can do tricks, you can do speed, you can do sliding, you can do off-road, its YOUR commute and its your life, JUST MAKE IT FUN.  The winners will be the people who get the most creative during their commute and capture it the best.

DUE DATE:  August 1st

RULES:
1.  Video should be roughly one minute long, give or take.
2.  The rest is your call, but the general rule of thumb is “make it interesting”.  We don’t care if you jump off your board to help an old lady cross the street or ride off a dock at the end, but please don’t just hold a camera and skate down the road filming your wheels.  Take some tips from the links below and really get into it, YOU HAVE TWO MONTHS!
3.  You DO NOT have to ride a Bustin longboard, you just have to love longboarding.  The winners will be those who make us wish we could skate their town, not necessarily their board.

PRIZES:
-The first place winner can customize a FREE MAESTRO DECK and set it up with their choice of TRUCKS and WHEELS (with standard abec7 bearings and hardware).
-Second and third place win a set of Boca wheels (your choice of size).
-Fourth place gets a Bustin hoodie (any size, any color).

HOW TO ENTER:
-Upload your video to your personal youtube account with the title “Push Culture Longboarding:  [your board model]“.  For example “Push Culture Longboarding:  Bustin Strike”.  In the description for your video please also link back to this blog post so that viewers will be able to vote on your video by leaving a comment below.

COMMENTS AND VOTING:
-We would like to hear what people think of the videos.  Make sure to put the link to this blog post in your video description so that people can comment here on your video.  Also, feel free to leave a comment announcing your video and giving us some background where you skate and why you love Push Culture Longboarding.  The winners will be chosen by the Bustin Boards staff and announced in early August.  We will also feature the winner videos on our homepage and blog.

    Is it compulsory to be a commuting longboard video from a point A to a point B ? Or can it be a simple video with tricks… ?

    Andrew – looks tight man. Great concept and execution

    Louis – the concept is Point A to Point B, but I’m sure you can make it work with tricks in between.

    Sam – of course international entries are accepted.

    Melodic – submit as many as you want.

    Max – yeah, if its a crew style we can still only give away one deck. Everyone can share.

    thanks everyone

    Damn this sounds AWESOME! I wish I would’ve heard of it sooner. I’m relatively new to longboarding and just started learning about bustin boards. Unfortunantly, I bought my first board based on looks and not research, a Santa Cruz. I’m really close to buying either a Maestro or Strike. SO why not try to get a free one while havin fun! By the way, your guys’ videos are pretty sweet so far.

    I didn’t really know what to call it as my friend decided to ride his own homemade deck. I offered him my DH race but he said he was more comfortable on his deck. So, i dubbed it the Soviet Plank! We shot the video on the outskirts of West Chester PA. We usually don’t skate in rural areas but we needed to film somewhere more… secluded.
