Bustin' Complex 42''

This is my new ride and it's fooking brilliant. A longboard with a proper usable kick. I can tic-tac it, kick turn it and 180 it off transitions. It cruises like a dream and I finally have a set up that works with my Holeys. :D :D :D

Yeah. Thats PP. Relaxed as, most of the time. 8) Gets busy quick though cos its so small. If you can get there during usual school/work times you'll get the place to yourself alot of the time.

Re: Bustin' Complex 42''

just got a complex myself.... feels like a great city cruiser. I haven't been able to shred it yet because of the wonderful weather we have here but it's definately comfy: camber to push and a pocket to cruise.

The tail is really way back and it'll take some getting used to. I also find it quite front-heavy (with RIIs) but that'll help gain momentum on a steep hill.

Don't believe what the bustin site says about wheelbite on wheels over 70mm... I placed my 83mm flywheels and it's OK with tight-ish trucks (and big pads). Also, I'm a fat MF (100 kg) so it should be even better with skinny people.

My one beef: could be longer. It measures in at 40", 44-45" would have made it even better (just sayin').

Looks like the sun has come out, I'm off

Holy Truck! That's a sweet looking ride. 8) I know it's Holey, but you know how bad copyright infringements can get in this day and age!

Re: Bustin' Complex 42''

Inspired by Colts set up, i've added half inch risers. Flat at the back, wedge at the front. Can run the Holeys proper loose now and it turns like a mother hubbard. 8)

Might put 76mm/77a Seismics on now i've got the clearance :mrgreen:

I've switched to more normal sized wheels to get more fluid turns (yeah, I'm a loser). This board is so fast and so urban at the same time... simply awesome!
Now I need a board that'll accomodate my 83mm's, maybe a freestyle drop-through thingy...god, how I love those wheels!!!
