Bustin Boards Strike is a new cruiser style longboard skateboard, made with drop-through trucks and a low profile, the Bustin Boards Strike is a multi discipline skateboarding machine. Personally, I loved it, and I think there are plenty of reasons that you might want one too.
Bustin sent me a Strike to try out, and I really enjoyed it. The ride was smooth and sweet, with a GREAT reaction. The sweetest part is the Strike's turns. I don't think I've ever been able to cut sharper on any other longboard.
Bustin just makes sweet boards!
Personally, I like the Strike for cruising, but from what I hear it's a great board for racing. It's a versatile size and shape, and the depth of your stance and the depth you can cut (with no chance of wheel bite) make the strike a define keeper.

Bustin will also give you suggestions for the trucks and wheels you might want on your board, depending on whether you plan to ride it downhill, for cruising or for all around riding.

Bustin Strike Technology
Bustin Boards Strike
There you have my opinions, but some hard science hides behind the Strike's style. Bustin Boards put a lot of work into designing this board.
- The angle of the truck mounts have been carefully engineered to give a great turning radius - they claim it's the best in the industry.
- Bustin tested the Strike through a full year of having team riders test it out. Apparently, this was all done in New York City, and the Strike got popular even before it was released!
- The Strike is also made out of Canadian maple, harvested from a sustainable forests.
