Bustin Maestro Mini Second Impressions: Not What We Thought When Bustin handed us a Maestro Mini hot off the presses a few weeks ago, we had it all planned out. We were going to ride the Mini around a dry, sunny New York City and have a blast. But expectations rarely match up with reality, and so nature instead blasted us with the fury of winter. You know what though? We’re glad it happened this way. You see…this article is titled second impressions for a reason. The reason being that our first impressions were wrong (more on that later). Given that the Maestro Mini is the first production Bustin deck to do away with the curvaceous contours, camber, and wedging that have defined the Bustin brand for generations, our curiosity was piqued.

Here's the latest from the masters of unconventional concave and curvacious contours... The Bustin Strike: Right on target, or does it strike out?
Even though the days of winter are finally upon us, ushering in shorter days, colder nights and generally less skating opportunities, some companies like Bustin show no sign of hibernation. Hot off the presses is the latest addition to the Bustin family, the Bustin "Strike". It’s a 38” drop through deck that comes with some distinctive looks and interesting features. Naturally, we at the Fish just had to check this one out.
With the Strike underfoot we skated all over Brooklyn, traversed into the heart of Manhattan and took on some serious technical runs in an all out effort to find its true north. We found the Strike to have the soul of a runner, making for an excellent “sprint” deck, great for getting around the urban jungle as quick and easy as possible.

Once upon a time, on the forum known as Silverfish Longboarding there was a thread which offered you a chance to win, win a longboard. I followed the instructions to win this longboard, after skeptically completing these instructions I forgot about the board, until…. . A couple days after entering I received an email saying I had won! I had never expected to win such a beautiful longboard or anything for that matter, but anyway, I then gave my address and all the other information to Sir Julian Nicks of Chicago Longboards. I then forgot about the longboard a few days later, my brain must have told me it was too good to be true.

Sinema Skates developed quite a following in SoCal before they closed shop and packed up to the far-away lands famous for hobbits and “Dead Alive”. One of the last things they did before they left was to send out a “Cruiser” drop-through board. Now, it may be an oxymoron to combine those two things, but Sinema being heavy on the DH were sure to make it very obvious that this deck was not their speedboard. After much terror testing by the gravity daemons of the NBS we are happy to bring to you this review of the Sinema “Cruiser”

One of the coolest experiences of my ASR insurrections was with the owner of Kahuna Skateboards, Steve. After talking to me for a short while, he took me out to his car and handed me one of the first Duke models ever made, his personal daily rider. After much cruising, and some minor changes to the setup, we bring to you a review of the very same deck. The Kahuna “Duke”
