Bustin Presents the Camber Series Decks! Cigars be Rollin.

Leave a reply


As much as we aim to push the limits of ergonomic wood bending for high level thrashing, simple shapes still have a huge place in our hearts for everyday riding, and at heart, we as a company are still all about getting you where you need to go with a smile on your face.

Our camber series decks do just that. Designed with a gentle camber and gentle concave, the Cigar 31 and 38 are great for cruising, carving, and pumping around town. The pointy nose and tail of the classic pintail shape have been chopped for a more compact design that’s easy to stow away or drag behind you with two longboard wheels on the ground.

Both the cigar 31 and 38 longboards are straight forward, easy to set up. 50 degree carving RKPs like Paris, Bears, and Randals are ideal. 70mm wheels work best, but you can easily set the boards up with 75mm wheels with a little bit of riser or bushing adjustment. The CNC’d wheel wells will help relieve you from bite, giving you more confidence on the road when making deep carves.

For a super low mini cruiser, set the Cigar 31 up with Polar Bear trucks and 1/4″ riser or Indy trucks and 65mm wheels. Tons of fun and old school style carving action right there. The Cigar decks both also make great pumpers. While 50/50 RKPs will work great, you can also set them up with forward facing angled risers, wedging the front and dewedging the back for more power in the pump and increased stability and agility. Indy style trucks tend to work a little better for this purpose, but any truck will work. Hardening up the rear bushing and softening up the front ones will compensate for the increased and decreased leverage over the kingpin as a result of changing the angle. Feel free to email us at skate@bustinboards.com if you have any setup questions.

 

All in all, these are designed for a surf style ride on your daily cruise. You are welcome to push them to the limits but in now way will you feel like you are underachieving by just carving it up. Fun on the concrete wave and easy on the wallet. CLICK HERE to get more info and set up your custom Cigar now.

Bustin Steven Vera cruises NYC with style and class.  Freestyle longboarding is on the rise in NYC as more freestyle skaters join the force.  The best part about longboarding is the difference in style from skater to skater – because equipment varies on every setup.  Stoked to watch Steven progress and get comfortable with his SWAG.  Get it in Steven!

Bustin sent dynamic duo William Royce and Ms. Sara Paulshock to the southern lands of South Carolina for an outlaw DH/Sprint race and we’re pleased with their results.  Both Will and Sara dominated the competition and made a lot of new friends at the same time.  That’s what the Bustin vide is all about.  Show up.  Skate fast.  Have a hella good time.  Meet tons of new skater friends, then go home.  Big ups to Will and Sara for gettin’ it in on the road and having a great time.  Next up, NORTH CAROLINA!

Bustin Custom Longboards NYC – IBACH/ROBOT Freeride with the Grom Squad

1 Reply

Bustin is stoked to introduce Steezy Deezy David Yang on the IBACH and Jude Buenaseda on the ROBOT.  These guys put their heart into their skate sessions and when they fall – they get up and shred harder and faster.  Young talent with the world at their fingertips.  Both IBACH and ROBOT decks are designed for freeride.  The IBACH has a dropped platform for locking in your feet for better traction and the ROBOT is drop-thru designed for easy commuting between all the steezy footwork.  I’ve even seen some of the crew top mount their ROBOT for more leverage on downhill runs.  Both IBACH and ROBOT are sick decks for an incredible freeride experience.

WARRIORS RACE 2010 WILL HAPPEN RAIN OR SHINE!!!!!START: 7PM @ VAN CORTLAND PARK, BX

Hey all you skate boppers, The Warriors Race is TOMORROW, are you ready?  The 26 mile skate will test you mentally and physically.  Expect a high temperature of 87f and a low of 77f during the race with a chance of thunderstorms.  The sunset will happen at 8:21pm, be ready for a dark skate!  How long do you expect the race to last?  Does anyone have a guess of the top finishing time?  LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW.  Adam and Jesse Garbacz will be at the finishline for winning verification. (Finish – Surf Ave/10th st, across from the Cyclone Roller Coaster).  The Warriors Race is your chance to show NYC how fast we really can skate.  Some believe we are foolish to skate 26 miles in this heat, I say drink water!  Some don’t think they can manage the distance, we say GO HARD OR GO HOME.  The Warriors Race is not for everyone and not everyone has signed up.  The clock is ticking and 4:20pm on 7/23 is the final deadline for race entry.  DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?  DO YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF NEW YORK CITY HISTORY?  The choice is yours.

The rules are simple.

2. DRESS THE PART!  You all selected your teams and have ZERO excuse of, “I didn’t know I had to dress up”  or  “I didn’t know how to get ahold of my teammates”.  Trust me, if you dress wacko you will look good.  Go nuts!!!

3.  NO RULES!  Other than the checkpoints in your race pack you will receive at the start there are no rules EXCEPT – NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION!!!!  no busses, trains, cabs, or airplanes.  SKATE!  or bike if you are with at least 2 skaters.  Race starts at Van Cortland Park, BX and finishes at Coney Island in front of the Cyclone ride at Surf Ave and 10th st.  EASY!
