I don't know much about long boarding and what wondering if this was a decent board.Also I was thinking about getting some Paris 180s for trucks. I am looking for an all around board that will be good for anything. Info(don't know what you need for longboards): 5ft 10in, 140 pounds, and need an all around board. Thx!+k to good answers

bustin maestro is a freestyle board, so you can forget any downhill/freeride stuff. it has almost no concave, which feels kinda awkward. it is a good starter board, but as soon as you progress you will want to get something stiffer and more agressivly concaved. look at landyachts tomahawk, longboard larry dk penguin, raynes are also awesome, but pretty expensive. if you want a bustin, id reccomend the new boombox.
hope that helps

Also any board can do anything. Even though it might not be ideal for certain things, since it has little concave and is soft and wedged, I do a lot of riding on a similar, but topmounted board and I have no problem. Including some decent speeds and slides at speed.

I've stood on a landyachtz tomahawk and it seems pretty sick. The concave and whatever else that board has going on it nice.

I looked at the new boom box but couldn't really find anything since it was so new. But my friends said I should go with the maestro. If anybody has anything to say about the boombox it would be greatly appreciated!

I'm a Bustin Rep.
I had a maestro for a long time, its not the best board for sliding or bombing. I never took it over 40 mph.
I love my Ibach for EVERYTHING.
Boombox is an awesome board too. the kicks are great. If you want a boombox wait a few weeks for the v2 to come out. If you have anymore questions let me know, and send me your order # and I'll get you a discount refunded.
But both are great all around boards, it really just depends on how you set them up

rounded shoulders like on the robot and ibach. The corners are catching and chipping. PM me your order number when you get one

the board rips though, I love it. The radial drop locks you in so nice
