Bustin Maestro 5 Bamboo Longboard Deck 38" only

Bustin Maestro 5 Bamboo longboard

2015 marks the fifth anniversary of the release of our Maestro Series. In 2010 we announced the Maestro as our premier do-it-all board, and it has been stoking riders across the world ever since. But over the years, the Maestro has become somewhat of an icon to us, epitomizing the true meaning of NYC Push, but also representing what is fun and functional about a longboard designed for pushing, carving and straight having fun. It was with this consideration that we brought the Maestro back to the drawing board and rolled out the Maestro-5, a special edition cousin of the classic design.

Our New York Push Series has been our most popular lineup of boards for a while, but the Maestro has more obsessed riders than any one board weve created. These riders have ideas and opinions and we are stoked to listen. One thing weve heard time and again is the request for concave in the rear of the Maestro. The Maestro-5 realizes that dream, and features a touch of concave in the rear to give that back foot a little more confidence. This also adds strength and performance across the board. The all-new bamboo and maple lay-up helps to create a more flexible deck, and lends a little more of a responsive, snappy character to the ride. Finishing this all off is a beefed up neck for even more strength, and youve got a super lively, wickedly skate-able, city-slashing, NYC-style Push Machine.

Theres nothing quite like the sensation of navigating the streets of the city on a skateboard. Pumping up and down empty cross streets, carving through traffic down avenues - the Maestro-5 was designed with the urban pusher in mind. The forward mounted camber uses the power generated by your push or pump to create momentum. Slightly wedged (less than the class Maestro) truck mounting gives you leverage and control while maintaining the concrete surfing feel of the Maestro. Concave extended throughout the deck keeps you locked in for quick turns and along with the wide neck, creates a strong board that can survive where others may not.

CONSTRUCTION

The Maestro-5 is designed to be more responsive and lively. To achieve that we've developed a Bamboo/Maple hybrid layup that offers lasting flex and feel. Riding is believing.

SETUPS

The Maestro 5 works best with RKPs because of its already low ride height, but if youre feeling up to it, TKPs are fun with soft bushings. We recommend sticking to around a 70mm wheel especially if its center-set to ensure 0 wheel bite, but with the proper set up and bushings, anything up to 80mm is doable!

GRAPHIC

We are stoked to work with and promote Brazilian street-artist Rafael Highraff on the new Maestro-5 graphics. Rafael has been turning out amazing street art for years and we couldnt be happier about how this piece translated from a wall to a board. There have been a lot of Maestro graphics over the years, but this one is definitely one of the best.
