Bustin Robot 41"


Slide Rails





41"
9 ply maple.
10" wide.
5/8" Radial Concave.
31" wheelbase.
The Bustin Robot 41.

What can i say? This board is an absolutely amazing board to ride and one of the only boards i felt the absolute HUNGER to buy from Bustin. After the release i just had to have it!
The price was relatively cheap at $135US for the deck, which is almost 1/2 that of other freeride orientated boards.

This board is made for GRIP! The grip tape is one Vicious mother, extremely rough and grippy which I love about the board.
To add to this it has Slide rails, so as the board gets to the edge it drops and kicks back out. |__     <-------Like this. Then over these trails there is grip tape which acts almost like a gas pedal which is great when you're freeriding.
The wide wheel base means it gives a comfortable stance for someone like me who loves a wide wheels base, and luckily this board come in 36" also, for smaller riders.
The noses of the Robot are awesome and with the Robot being a drop through, I was surprised to find that the trucks don't get in the way for tricks like Shuv-it's at all.
The deck itself is quite heavy and very rigid, which makes it Ideal for speed and freeride! This is my favorite board for freeride and Downhill.
Another notable feature are the dropped in parts at the center of the rails. This makes early grabs a breeze as there is a handle to grab onto.
The Wide platform means you have plenty or room for you feet, and also a nice platform for dancing, if you enjoy the casual walk up your board like I do from time to time.
I would give the looks for the board a 4/5, freeride and Downhill capabilities a 4.5/5 and General ride a 4/5. Great board!
