Wow very sorry to hear about your setup @Pimping

Looks like Daddy's Boardshop tricked another wee lad.

I've been longboarding for about a year and a half now. I have a Bustin Sportster Pro, along with Bear Grizzly Trucks, Reds Bearings, and Bustin Swift Freeride wheels.

I don't longboard, but oh, God. You should up those bearings, man. Stick with bones, but up it to the Swiss or Swiss Ceramics. I bought Reds a few times and haven't ever been a fan. I prefer to skate cheap mini-logo bearings over them. I go through bearings super quick, since I'm too lazy to take care of them. Haha ;)

I love the bones, I've been using them for 2 years now, and they never failed on me.

Yeah, Swiss/Swiss Ceramics are ridiculous. If I weren't so hard on my bearings I'd buy them for the $50-100 range any day. I don't clean them, or plan on it, so they die quick. Bones bearings (and wheels if you're not long boarding) are far superior to everything else.

Ye I've never used Swiss before, how much are they?

Okay. Well your board is an overprices piece of shit cruiser. Your trucks are good, I'm guessing 180's? Your wheels are overpriced garbage, and your bearing are good. That board is good for learning how to ride a longboard. When you get bored and want to step your game up you will have to buy a new board. =/

Edit: And flex 3? You must be one scrawny motherfucker :S

I know what you're saying, man. However, my board is classified as more of a downhill/freestyle type, and I really only use it to do downhill cruising for the most part. So, I'm actually quite a fan of Reds, but that's just me. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to upgrade like you said, though.

I longboard.

I don't what my specs are. I'll look.

It was the longest board, the biggest wheels (105mm), rasta gull wing trucks, and I do believe Red bearings.

downhill cruising in grass/gravel > asphalt
