STOP HATIN’

People that hate on longboarding because it takes “no skill” you’re ridiculous like honestly, stop hating and realize what we do takes a lot of balls, and a lot of skill and puts our bodies and arguably our lives on the line at times.

yeah, I got pretty hard bushings in now. before I had the surfroadz medium, I'm not sure how soft or hard they are I'd have to check. I talked to a few people now and I noticed that it could also just be the truck. the 45° pivot gets the board really near to the ground in comparison to a bear. I'll just try around a bit, but thanks for the answer. Life's too short to walk. So skate!


I completely agree just mess with it and skate always

Bustin's the best! lovin the Maestro and Boombox. the description says the Boombox goes with every 70mm wheelset. now I have the Bustin Swift Freeride (70mm 78a) and CNC RKP Surfroadz trucks at 196mm, and the board still bites sometimes. I just put in some new bushings and it's okay, no bites anymore but the board just turns too slow now. not really good for city streets. I just wanted to know if that's me and my soft bushings or if it's a general problem with the wheelsize or something?


my guess would be that the bushings were too soft, but with 70mm wheels you should not be getting wheelbite and if it’s too slow to turn i would try to go a little softer maybe find an in between bushing. but i would not go smaller than 70 mm on that board.

Hey! I' was wondering what you guys think of boards like the Spliff, Maestro Mini and Sojourn! I'm looking to get a board for a 10 year old, and I thought something on the smaller side would be decent. :)


Great boards for freestyle, carving, and learning. The sojourn would probably be the best board for learning on because you can do a lot with it the spliff would also be decent. The maestro mini board is a little more techy and might be harder for a younger kid to learn on

Sibling Sliding

Sometimes I just have these moments when I skate where my entire body moves to the tune of my board, and the board to my body and the two of us become one. I can slide it wherever I want, any direction, or speed and when this happens, I have the best damn shred sessions.
