Testing Bustin Boards’ “Bruno PRO” Skateboard Deck:
We hit up some local spots, mild hills, and a decently-sized mini ramp to see what this board is all about.
Features:
Bustin’s “Bruno Pro” deck measures in at 33.6″ in length and roughly 8.5″ in width. It features a 16.3″ wheelbase with both new school and old school mounting options as well as some mild concave to keep you locked-in without feeling uncomfortable.
Pros:
We found the length of the deck to be just right for a rider looking for a wider stance and/or some increased stability on the slopes. The nose and tail kicks provided a nice amount of leverage for aerial maneuvers and shenanigans. The thickness of the deck also allows for it to take some abuse without showing much wear.
Cons:
The most appropriate setup we found for this board involves a minimal amount of riser and wheels under 60mm: anything more than that caused the tail to feel a bit funny. The weight of the deck itself could stand to be reduced as it did feel a bit heavy at times, and the width could be increased a tiny bit and we wouldn’t be upset!
Overall:
The length and construction of the Bruno Pro make it a great choice as a street-, park-, and hill-slashing hybrid. We’d suggest setting it up with some 155-159mm trucks and your 60mm wheels of choice and taking it to the streets! We give this board two kicks up!
