The business end.
This time we thought it was time for a bit of a change - this latest version is more focussed on "freeriding" (sliding and carving) than ever. Major changes and tweaks include:
- Refined shape following team input, with a wider tail. This version of the Samba is as happy going backwards as forwards, opening up a huge door of switch and fakie tricks. The shape also gives more back foot control, essential for those monster standups.
- Significantly deeper concave with sharp top rails for extra grip and control during long stand up slides
- Huge foot pockets
- Stiff 8ply construction for better cornering and less chatter whilst locked sideways
- Slightly shorter wheelbase for more response
- Lower ride height for extra sideways control - the trucks are mounted further up the "kicks" than before.
Top down - lots of extra room at the back.
We build them up stock with Sabre X-Types and ultra-fast Cult Gamma Rays for a carvy, grippy ride that looks dialled - we just couldn't resist the Blue Horrotica / Sky colour combo of Adi's "Derelict Piste" graphic. But unlike Sambas of old, the new deck shape works well with a variety of truck and wheel setups, one of the more popular being de-wedged Indy's and Cult Classics for a super-loose slidey ride.
S-s-s-s-sideways!
