What Is Bustin?
We are a Custom Longboard Skateboard Company that started with a group of friends wanting to ride a board that was our "own". Something innovative and fresh...Custom boards that fit our personalities. This is how our journey began. We are based in Hoboken, NJ (just outside of Manhattan) and our goal is to bring originality back to boarding. At www.bustinboards.com YOU TOO can get exactly what you want in a longboard. Simply click on a "Design A Board", select your whip, choose the graphic, paint it up however you choose. Upgrade your trucks/wheels/ bearings if you want and press "Complete Order". We will handle the rest!

Bustin History
The Idea began in 2001 when a group of friends in Hagerstown, Maryland decided we were tired of paying good money for junk longboards. After a little research, we started cutting out boards in Ryan's family's barn. Michael tagged up the first board for his cousin Lindsey as a "going away to college" gift and the train started rolling. A few weeks later Mike busted his lip open during a session and on the way to hospital painfully uttered the resulting epiphany, "we should call them Bustin Boards". That summer we made a handful of boards here and there, but spent most of our time bombing hills. Each board we made was new, different and better than the last. We knew immediately what our goal was to be.
Before long our little barn shop became a hub for our ideas and a place to bring them to life. Design, Build, Ride - it was our mission in life and the designs evolved quickly. Before long we were laminating our own boards and producing wild, original shapes. By 2004 we were beginning to see past our humble barn shop. We began planning for a move to New York City and later that year made the jump the big apple. After spending a year crammed tiny Greenwich Village shop, we stumbled across our dream space; a 5,000 sq. foot warehouse loft in Hoboken.
Today we make and ship all of the boards by hand from our Hoboken loft. 2007 was our biggest year so far with boards wrapping around the world and solid feedback coming from all angles. In 2008, we continue to stick to the original vision, printing each board by hand based on the customer's personal style.
Bustin Votes - You Should Too
One of the Bustin founders, Ryan Daughtridge, asked us if we thought it was oka to put this Obama song video on our myspace page. After some debate about mixing politics and business, we decided that MySpace should represent us as real people and we want to be known as people who vote. We don't care who you vote for and do not wish to press our political views onto others, especially our friends and customers. However, we do this because we believe in our country and in our people and hope our involvement would inspire others to get out and vote for what they believe in.

Bustin Boards Green Skate 2008 - Rough Cut
This year's NYC Green Skate was a lot of fun and a great event to raise awareness for eco-friendly transportation. We started out with a lap around Central Park and then a few of us bombed around the city for the afternoon. Here is a quick rough-cut of the crew rolling down Broadway.
