Youtube happen to drop commercial for Bustin Boards just now on me, and its freakin’ horrible!!!
Wizzing passed children almost hitting them… Weaving through vehicle traffic touching cars… Shooting through crowds of people missing them by literally inches… It goes on and on for minutes. WTF?!
This is the kind of shit that is making cities outlaw ESK8 altogether and they’re advertising their boards as such, attracting the wrong kind of people and it’ll ultimately get people hurt or killed.
Am I wrong? Idk, maybe I’m just getting old. Is it friday yet lol? At least everyone in the commercial were wearing helmets… So yay, I guess.
They are trying to appeal to the wood pushers, which requires riding like a dick and pretending you’re not just getting off your second shift at Chipotle while you bomb the park at ten miles an hour on your way home. #marketing
My pass time is holding 10 mph with my massive hybrid board and swerving to be as close to as many people as possible, and hitting 15 mph if I have 50 feet in front of me
Watched a few more of their videos, best I can tell they’re trying to make eskating look cool to street skaters and maybe dh guys as well. So much sliding. Bustin sorta got handed an eskate company by Dualomo using their decks. (and then selling everything to them? not sure how that all went down)
Don’t really know, but since I don’t see many of them, not to many people inside the community are buying their boards, so they need to advertise to other crowds.
