I'm looking into adding a Bustin' Boards longboard to my quiver. Anybody have one? Good/bad experiences?

I looked at their website, it looks pretty legit with the customizable stuff.

Thanks.

i have a bustin spliff and its soo key for around campus. I go to school in boston so its perfect for dodgin traffic and people on the way to class. I think some moisture got to it because the bottom clear coat started to fade and the wood started to get lines and ridges but i sanded it all down and custom painted it myself. came out super sick i'm stoked.

I also have a kracked skulls for freeride, dancing and longer rides. Incredible board aswell

I have a bustin Maestro and I love it. I haven't took any extremely steep hills yet but it seems like it would defiantly hold. It's extremely good for carving and cruising. I LOVE my Bustin.

Also be aware that it takes like 20 days to get the board (they hand paint it). I didn't know this so i was waiting anxiously forever.

Word. I was looking at the Sojourn, i would be using it for cruising, transportation, around school and stuff. What board do you guys recommend out of the available ones?

People really seem to like them but I hear talk of them not being particularly good value, like you could get something better for the money. Makes sense to me, anything with a gimmick like the customization thing is going to usually be not such great value because you pay for gimmicks.

That said I've never ridden one myself so I can't say. But I heard like that the decks get saggy after a while and a couple other problems.
