All in all I'm stoked about the Strike. I went out on a limb with it and decided if those guys can dodge cars in NYC with it, that I'd have no problem in the Mid-West. The mild flex give a good snap out of corners and absorbs the bumps in the road.

There was a massive overload of orders when i ordered mine and i had to wait a couple extra days because Bustin was waiting on a new Randal shipment, I was never worried because the Bustin crew kept me updated. They ley me know when my board was done, that they were waiting on a shipment, gave me the option to switch to trucks they had in stock, and that it would be sent out ASAP when the trucks came in. Greatest customer service in any industry.

My buddy from Colorado came into town a while back, and gave my Strike a try on the cart paths and loved it. It had everything he needed in a longboard for his typical sessions back home in Snowmass. He's not a DH'er so he had a blast throwing this thing into carves and dropping sick controlled manuals.

All in all, I'd completely recommend this board for anyone in search of a great commuter-cruiser-carver. You can store it under your desk at work, in the closet, or just lean it against the wall with your sick custom graphics showing.
