Trying to get my other brother into esk8 too. He wants a short deck low to the ground, and the Bustin Sportster is the only one that comes to my mind, given there’s an enclosure available for it. I know @EboardSolutions used to sell it, but he’s out of stock
If anyone wants to sell one / knows where to buy one in Europe / has another recommendation in mind, let me know!
Edit: there’s the hard to come by LY switchblade 35", but he thinks it looks bad. (He’s wrong)
If he’s not firm on a deck 35” or so, maybe try to measure his stance and what he finds comfortable, and then look at decks that fits the bill.
There are so many options tho for dropped/double drop decks, and who doesn’t like window shopping for a new build…
I wish em good luck!
That’s exactly what we did! Measured his stance at 22", Looked at where the concave starts on the sportster, and figured it would be good for him both now, and in a few more years. My family are all late bloomers, so I want to keep it as light as possible for him to carry.
Yeah, I know there are many drop down decks to choose from, but having a perfect fit enclosure is a pretty big deal. Want to make it rideable when it’s wet.
Not sure if this thread should be closed or not in case someone else runs into the same problem, but I ended up buying from the US.
P.S. Bustin sell blems on their site! 20$ cheaper for a deck with either the griptape or bottom graphic having some defect. If you plan on Senderizing it, definitely worth it!
