Ronin Trucks – It’s All Downhill From Here

Ronin Trucks – It’s All Downhill From Here

Ratmobile Ronin

It’s been a long time coming, but the timing could not be more perfect. With the release of the 2013 Ratmobile, we are also proud to present Ronin Cast Trucks available for purchase with our decks. This could not be any more of a winning combination. Ronin has been dominating the downhill scene all over the world from Amateur riders winning outlaws to Douglas Dalua atop the awards stand as the IGSA World Cup Champion last year. The cast version of these trucks takes the same “support pin” technology incorporated in Ronins billet trucks, which holds the truck’s turning angle true through the entire turn, offering massive lean, enhanced grip, a rock solid center point, and more stability and control. Stoked on Ronins? You bet we are!

Ronin cast trucks were designed with more rake than their billet counterparts (cast and billet Ronins have interchangeable parts, by the way), which make them especially good for freeride and offering super lean which feels great for holding tuck through a turn, fast freeriding, and even getting your carve on. They turn as much as many 50-degree trucks, but offer more lean through the turn. They are 180mm and the axles are pressed in, producing a much straighter axle. When putting wheels on your Ronin trucks, assemble all four wheels and then do the final tightening once the wheels are on. This will assure that your axles stay 100% true and don’t pull one way or another. The price you pay for having pressed in axles, but it’s nice to know your trucks are straight! Also, check out riotboardsports.com for some sweet upgrades to your Ronin trucks like urethane pivot cups and support pin cups! Riot, Riptide, and Venom all make aftermarket bushings, and Riptide even offers different shape like Chubbies, Fat Cones, and Cones.

The Evolution of Skateboarding with Perropro + Bustin Boards

I’ll never forget the morning Bruno Sirera Sorondo skated into the Bustin Brooklyn shop, walked right up to the nearest computer, said something in Spanish then motioned for us to walk over and watch his videos.  We get a lot of “watch my video” requests and I casually strolled over to check out his footy.  I had just returned from Vancouver, BC and knew exactly what we were looking for to build a team in 2010.  Bruno’s video was FIRE!  Bruno was excited about Bustin Boards and wanted to be on the team.  I asked him to show me some skating on Grand Street in front of the shop and he killed it, again.  Needless to say, it isn’t everyday you come across a talented, creative skater like Bruno, Toti, Alberto and the whole PerroPro gang.  We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out!

The Bustin Boards ‘Mekanik’ with Jeff Vyain – Bustin Longboards NYC

The Mekanik is the little brother of the Ratmobile race deck. It is built off of the same progressive radial concave as the Ratmobile with the same quarter-inch rockered platform, but with an even wider range of wheelbase options, especially on the short end. The Mekanik will be the deck of choice for top mount riders who want to stick tight corners, freeriders who prefer shorter wheelbases, garage bombers, riders with smaller stances, and women downhillers.
