Longboard Investment v. Lift Ticket Taxes
By Mike | November 18, 2008
To address the present economic slowdown and approaching chilly season, may I suggest the benefits of being active. To keep a tight budget is important, as is making smart capital decisions. At Bustin, we believe smart investments reap strong benefits.
The Bustin Crew will be cross-training this winter at NYC’s closest friendly neighborhood ski area Mountain Creek http://www.mountaincreek.com/index.htm located 50 minutes from the GW Bridge. Pre-Season, All-Access passes are $265 until the first 2″ of snow in Vernon Valley, NJ. Passes jump to $399 following the first snowfall expected soon. Daily lift passes are $49-$62 so do the math. If you want to cross train, join the Bustin crew on the slopes or e-mail: skate@bustinboards.com to schedule a session. Passes/Tickets can be purchased through Mt. Creek’s website and at the Mountain.
Lift Ticket prices got you frustrated? We understand, and encourage you get out on the pavement. Longboarding is a great skiing/snowboarding simulation year round without the ski area lift tax. Visit www.bustinboards.com for our seasonal sale active now!

The Bustin Strike - Team Manager Approved!
By Mike | November 14, 2008
You want my honest opinion? The Bustin Strike is the board I choose when I walk out the door. Why? The brilliance of the design is versatility. I prefer a board that will perform well in every situation because my style is multi-dynamic. The dual wedged trucks are engineered to feed the need of multi-discipline style sessions from traffic surfing and banks sliding to hills and flats. more…

Ladies and Gentleman, we give you “The Strike”
By Ryan | November 13, 2008
Today we launch the Strike board after nearly a year of what seemed like a continual cycle of dreaming, drawing, cutting, sanding, riding, head-scratching, cutting, sanding, re-drawing, head-scratching and debating with the crew and the team about how to make this board PERFECT. Despite the inevitable stress involved in research and development, the whole process was amazing and today epitomizes why we do this. This board is really like a child to us and has been raised by the whole family here at Bustin Boards. From the boys in the shop debating the width of the nose to the team on the streets testing the prototypes and logging their feedback, this board has been critiqued by some of the most creative minds around. Now the final product has received the dope stamp from everyone on the list and its a very good feeling to see the final product finally hitting the streets. On behalf of all those who helped us develop this board, I proudly introduce the Bustin Strike. To learn more about the model, please visit www.bustinboards.com.
Enjoy, Ryan
