(Hoboken, NJ. October 1) – Bustin Boards and Paris Truck Co. announced today that they are teaming up to equip Bustin’s one-of-a-kind decks with the new 180mm Paris Trucks. Noting a slew of interest in the new trucks, Bustin Boards made the decision to change their old-school hole pattern to accommodate the new trucks. “There was a huge buzz about these trucks and people started asking us what we thought,” says Bustin Boards co-owner Ryan Daughtridge. “After riding them, there was no question -- we had to carry them, even though it meant changing our hole pattern.”
