Video Contest From Bustin: NYC Longboarding is going to have some fun this summer
Push Culture Longboarding - The Video Contest Starts Now
By Ryan | June 8, 2010
At Bustin Boards Brooklyn we develop boards for Push Culture longboarding in New York City. What does this mean? It means we use our boards for everything from getting to work to going to concerts and we almost never use cars. Living in the city, every skate is an adventure and no two rides are the same. There is Point A and Point B, but what matters is life in between. Where do you skate to and from? This contest is for you to show off your version of longboard commuting in style and show the world how you live life one skate at a time.
Here is the deal. The theme of the video should be “My Push Culture”. Choose a Point A and a Point B and make a video showing the thrill of the line in between. You can do tricks, you can do speed, you can do sliding, you can do off-road, its YOUR commute and its your life, JUST MAKE IT FUN. The winners will be the people who get the most creative during their commute and capture it the best.
DUE DATE: August 1st
RULES:
1. Video should be roughly one minute long, give or take.
2. The rest is your call, but the general rule of thumb is “make it interesting”. We don’t care if you jump off your board to help an old lady cross the street or ride off a dock at the end, but please don’t just hold a camera and skate down the road filming your wheels. Take some tips from the links below and really get into it, YOU HAVE TWO MONTHS!
3. You DO NOT have to ride a Bustin longboard, you just have to love longboarding. The winners will be those who make us wish we could skate their town, not necessarily their board.
PRIZES:
-The first place winner can customize a FREE MAESTRO DECK and set it up with their choice of TRUCKS and WHEELS (with standard abec7 bearings and hardware).
-Second and third place win a set of Boca wheels (your choice of size).
-Fourth place gets a Bustin hoodie (any size, any color).
HOW TO ENTER:
-Upload your video to your personal youtube account with the title “Push Culture Longboarding: [your board model]“. For example “Push Culture Longboarding: Bustin Strike”. In the description for your video please also link back to this blog post so that viewers will be able to vote on your video by leaving a comment below.
COMMENTS AND VOTING:

The Origins.
Three and a half months a go me and my friend will came together and formed NYC Longboarding, our goal was to get sponsored by Original Skateboards, we filmed videos, made our own designs for tee shirts tee-shirts, but after a month of waiting to hear back comments, or letters about our sponsor video, we lost hope. But we did see hope in something else, we were spreading push culture through NYC, hense the name "NYC Longboarding." I myself like to longboard because it is the closest i have to surfing, and being in the water, I like to take surf style, and put it in my longboarding. My friend Will wanted a longboard, and sure enough two days after he got one, it came naturally to him. We are not unpopular kids, but people find it funny and weird that we longboard "you only longboard because you can't skate." Some of this statement is true, I am not incredible on a skateboard, but that is not the reason longboard. I longboard because it is fun and relaxing, and once again, the closest thing I have to surfing. Fast forward two and a half months, we just came out with our fifth video, and it is our best one yet, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GrEPczOu_U. A week later I came across Bustin Boards, it was not the first time I had heard about them, but it was the first time I took full interest. I do only ride Original Skateboards, and it was not the boards that intrigued me about Bustin,It was their idea, their mentality. They to were just a bunch of chill guys who liked to longboard as well. Orignal skateboards had inspired me, but Bustin had intrigued me. A few days ago I was reading through the bustin blog, and I realized that they were doing the same thing, spreading push culture through NYC, of course they were doing a better job, because they had been doing it for years, but we had the same idea. Anyways, the reason I am writing this is because I wanted to say thanks to the people at bustin, and thanks for spreading, and helping me and the crew spread Push Culture throughout NYC.
