    BrendanS Welcome to Detailing

    Just thought I would share what I waited 29 days for:yikes:

    Deck: Bustin Strike
    Wheels: Orangatang Stimulus 70mm 83A
    Trucks: Randal RII 180 trucks (black with the stock red bushings)
    Bearings: Standard Abec 7 bearings


    Now on to the good stuff

    Here is what I came up with on their site

    All nicely packed

    Weird...some of my shoes match my longboard:lol:

    Graphic came out darker than what I had put on the site#-o

    Front trucks don't sit flush, but nobody has had a problem with it so as long as it rides it's all good.

    Rear trucks sit pretty flush

    Both trucks are the same length, just the picture makes it look weird

    Never got into skating/bikes, never into paintball and never into RC car... yay im a nonconformist!

    Although that Bustin board looks insane fun, hope it was everything you wanted. Ride safe:mounty:

    $$$$ I bet. Good looking board. I can't balance for shit, so I "luge" on them instead :p

    No way! I knew there would be atleast a couple people who longboarded here. But I never thought there would be another Bustin owner. How do you like your boards?
    The board is everything I wanted it to be, thanks for the kind words. I'm in awe though, every hobby you listed except paintball I've been into them. You'll be glad you never got into RC. While it was fun, it was an endless money pit for me. That and the local people that were into RC weren't the best people to hang around. Specially for a 12,13,14 year old. I quickly got out of that hobby. I've been into bikes for about 6 years now, and I used to try to skateboard but I was never really any good. So I gave up, and a few years down the road I got into longboarding haha. Bikes are just as expensive as detailing though:yikes:.
    It was just under $300CAD for me, which is a lot for a 16 year old with a part time job. But I wanted a fun form of transportation. Thanks though! Butt-lugeing is always fun!

    I have a Vision Street Wear that my dad got me in the States in the late 80s. Is that still cool?

    I was never a skateboarder, so it's been collecting dust for 20+ years! Perhaps one day a collector's item...

    Nice board you got yourself mate!

    bustin boards is a great company. I've spoken with the owner a few times, and even did a coupon promotion for him on a few forums 2-3 years ago.

    this is the first board I purchased from them. I've got another setup that I have been using more with the Seismic Trucks on it. It is very stable but will turn hard if you really throw your weight into it.

    I try to have fun even though I'm 30:D
