Bustin Limited Edition Maestro 32 Tag Longboard Complete
You spoke, we listened. Raving Maestro longboard fans around the world have been asking us to create a little brother version that they can stash under a desk or carry on a plane. Well friends, here it is! But it's more than just a pocket rocket longboard.
The 32.5" deck is becoming a first choice for several skaters in our NYC crew because of its comfortable feel and super responsive design. We've minimized the wedging for the front and rear truck, giving it even more lightning fast response through carves, and with the shorter wheelbase and concave throughout the entire board, the rider has an enhanced level of control no matter where the foot is positioned. This is not just a convenient, easy to carry mini; it is a city thrasher!
IDEA
The board is designed for quickness on every level. Not only does the short wheelbase allow for quick turns, but the drop-thru design encourages high speed, effortless pushing. The twin tips make this board exceptionally versatile for shuvits, flip tricks, and all-around fun, and there is concave throughout the length of the deck, making it easy to control throughout the length of the standing platform. Don't think about it; throw the board down and go.
DESIGN
The board is designed with the city streets in mind. Potholes, pedestrians, cabs, bikes, puddles, and angry dogs are no match for the Maestro Mini's quickness, and it's got that steez that leaves you with no worries, only smooth sailing fun. The Maestro Mini is the first Bustin board to feature full length concave. This increases strength throughout the deck, making it a great board for riders of all sizes.
CONSTRUCTION
The Maestro Mini longboard is made at our North Carolina manufacturing facility from the finest sustainably harvested Canadian maple. The 7-ply mold is cold pressed for extra strength using our special composite blend glue. After fully curing, the mold is CNC cut, routed and sanded smooth. The drop-thru mounts are then specially routed using a precision CNC bit. The board then goes through a wood finishing process which includes several cycles of sealing and sanding.
After production, our longboards are sent to our Brooklyn shop where they are hand-printed and finished by one of our artists.
SETUPS
The Maestro Mini is designed to work with most longboard trucks. The drop-thru mounts are specifically designed to fit Bear, Randal, Gullwing, Paris, and Tracker trucks. The holes mounts are drilled old-school style and will also work with hybrid Indies 169s.
The board shines with Randal trucks and 70mm wheels for speed and comfortable commuting or 66mm wheels for freestyle and tricks. Wheels are bite-free with 42 or 50 degree Randall plates, but with 42s, we recommend 66mm wheels or stiffer than stock bushings.
THE POSSIBILITIES
This board is a bi-directional freerider, a point-and-shoot rocket ship, a convenient commuter, and everything in between. The possibilities stop when you stop playing with setups. With 50-degree Randals and stock bushings, it's a hard carving, low-riding trick board. Set it up with a 42 degree plate in the back with hard bushings and a 50 degree plate in the front with soft bushings and you're locked and loaded on a sprint machine. It's the ultimate deck for aggressive city riding with maximum portability. It just makessense.
