Advice

  • I think a long board is the best way to ride poorly maintained streets and sidewalks. It allows me to get to and from the skate park with speed and ease.
  • I use a skateboard pack to carry my Minilogo deck,books and protective gear while riding the Bustin to school or the skate park.
  • The Bustin = transport,the Mini = trickboard
  • I've had to wait to gather cash for replacement trick decks,but always had my longboard to ride about town. So at least I wasn't powerless.
  • I used to have a Gravity Hyper-Carve 47,but sold it to a friend?. It is a really fast ride. Chad,I'd like to buy it back,..hint,hint.
