Anyone else pumped for the Bustin Sojourn V2?

[Irrationalist]

I have tried most possible setups. My favorite is with randal 150's and I prefer 42 degree baseplates. The rear set front mounts and the rear/rear setup is a comfortable WB for my 5'9 stance. I like the indy style trucks for stability and good pumping plus there are so many hanger widths to choose from. The SV2 is fun to experiment with, have fun!

How bout a pic of your setup?

I think as long as the core isn't too big they'd be perfect for something like the Sojourn. (I've never ridden the 83a version, so I don't really know)

Wifey tearing it up on her Sv2.

The board looks very large compared to her.

[stringtheory]

She's 5'1". =D

She looks even smaller on her Nemmy.

So how does she like it for sliding?

Man, getting mine tomarrrow. Im dying for it.

[stringtheory]

She liked it a lot. Today was the first day we took it out to a hill (well we live on a hill but it maxs @ 20mph). It's a lot more functional than the original Sojourn. She could easily slide it, carve it, pretty much whatever....

I took a few runs on it too. I liked it, but it's a bit too cramped for my size. I'm about 6 ft 185 lbs. I could throw it around sliding, but my feet always wanted to come off as you can see...

no wheel bite, right????

bustins are almost programmed to wheel bite. this better be the exception.

The Strike doesn't. I can run some rather large wheels on it without bite.

I am hoping that this can run some wheels without bite, I'll post here after I get it tomarrow and try on all the different wheels I have.

Well, I used my wife's Sojourn v2 in the Broadway Bomb the other day, and all I can say is I couldn't have picked a better deck for the race. Her set up is nice and low (Tracker 184s and 65mm O-tangs). The conventional trucks paired with the Sojourns most narrow wheel base setting proved to be very nimble for car and pedestrian slalom. The tail came in handy a few times popping over things (hello firehose!), and down a few curbs on the way to the BBQ post Bomb. Nice job Bustin crew! This deck really proved itself as an able urban warrior with a convenient size and good looks to boot. Two thumbs up!

Hey so I am tall like you and was wondering how the foot space is when cruising and carving around. You said it was cramped for sliding but what about everyday use and technical tricks? It seems to me the wheelbase is pretty short, I see most people riding with the back foot way out on the tail.

are 65mm wheels maxing it out? How much bigger do you think you could go on it?
