Bustin Sojourn Vs. Original Hybrid 35 Vs. ?

[Samuel L Jackhurst]

I'm thinking about a good commuter board, something with a little flex, something good to maybe learn tricks on, and I'm open to new suggestions, but these are the two I'm thinking about right now.

Poolkings stringer

its a good commuter because you can ollie, kickflip, or boneless up curbs ( what ever your style is).
Its also cheaper then both those other decks.
Plus its good for tricks you'd be able to learn things like rock n roll, axles stalls/grinds, and disasters.

Does it have good flex?

Also, I don't feel robbed at by my purchase or my Strike or Sojourn. Love them both to death.

Trolls, gotta love them right.

dude are you serious? bustin is a great and reliable company, and the people who ride for them are AWESOME people with a great reflection of NY longboards community. have you ever really rode any of the boards? dude dont be a hater, you have no legitimate reasons to back your statement

MD would gladly take em back. Hagerstown is sorely missing them, though the economy blows here so I don't blame em.


Anyway.

I have a Hybrid 35 and I'm almost certain my next purchase will be a sojourn. The hybrid has NO FLEX. Mine got run over by an suv and it is still rock solid. It is kind of high, with pretty big risers, but on 8 inch trucks it can ride 75mm wheels which is alright by me! I really enjoy it for its short wheelbase and the turning on original trucks. The turning off the kick tail is a whole lot of fun and can carve pretty well within the space of a sidewalk.

I'm looking to get a sojourn for a lower flexier ride, something a bit pushier, also so I have a bushing alternative to my original board which I still love riding. I prefer bushings on transitions and ditches over original trucks in the same circumstance and sometimes I'm in a mood to ride one over the other.

I probably couldn't pick between the two but I can promise the hybrid is a good city get-around board and has plenty room and turn for skogging. I am pretty stoked about getting a sojourn (once I can afford it) so it's probably a win/win.

What you got against MD? Oh well you're a troll, no one cares.

[Samuel L Jackhurst]

BTW, I am gonna be rockin S6es on this, but I'm not sure if the actual Original deck would be the best choice, but this is why I got you guys right?

Well I can tell you mounting S6's on the Sojourn is going to be a huge pain in the ass with the how the nose and tail are wedged. If thats what you want to do with it I do not recommend it. Getting S8's on the Complex with similar wedging was a huge task for us. The trucks work fine once you do, but still totally not worth the effort.

I would recommend the Hybrid if you are already sold on the trucks. You will love the trucks, the are totally their own thing.

I'm still waiting for them to come in, I'll see how I like them.

I would have recommended the 8s over the 6s but if you already got then you ARE STUCK WITH THEM YOU LOSER

I'm already running 150mm trucks, so it just seems right

I like them both really I just like the 8s more because the turn isn't MUCH slower and they just feel heftier under me.

Quick question though, might be random, but do you recommend any 61/62mm wheels? My Nineballs don't work properly with the trucks.

The clear kryptonics that come with the trucks (when they're completes) seem pretty nice. They're 78a 62m. They seem to hold their ground, they're not so plush, they ride kidna stiff but they deliver. If you could fit fat frees I'd recommend them, just because the tang urethane seems to perform pretty well and ride surprisingly grippy. That wheel may be a tad too big though.

As for the kryptonics, they seem kind of hard for such a soft 'thane, but they're reliable wheels. I don't know where to buy em, but you might be abel to email original and work something out if you can't find a dealer.

Turns out I could mount the trucks with Original risers properly on there with a little drill , yeah I could fit the Otangs, I'm just barely getting wheelbite with Flashbacks.

A bunch of us from Rutgers recently had the chance of meeting some of the Bustin crew and they're a great bunch. And most of them skate through Brooklyn and other parts of NY on a daily basis so I wouldn't call them a poor reflection of the NY longboard community. At all.
