hey i ordered my sally about 2 and a half months ago from LBL and he's kinda not sending it for some reason and he won't return my calls... i'm starting to think he ripped me off.
@dobie007 If anything get 150s but I wouldn't recommend Randals for this board. Either Paris 150s or Charger 9" 's; they'll give you a way smoother pump, rebound, carve.
Don't go with a bigger truck it will just get in your way, ruin your turns, and just adds excessive weight to lug around on such a small board. Sticking with a smaller truck is just appropriate for this board.
@AKlalaLOVE I can't tell you exactly, 'cause I haven't seen different flexes on this board yet, but try asking Larry if that's possible, I'm sure he can make something work for you, doesn't sound like much of a problem
in my opinion stimulus is the way to go. I just LOVE the way they feel when they let go for the slide way more than 4 prez. and even when carving hard or not they feel the same. otang stims ftw
when we filmed this video, I weighed 165. it depends how flexy you like it. but watch when I'm on the board and just try to pinpoint imagine how flexy it'd be for your weight....
the salamander could definitely handle a bowl, but the disadvantage it has is that the tail/nose are not scooped up enough for your ideal bowl skating. the ceviche is better at that because it has a scooped tail like a skateboard. these two boards are different in the way that the salamander is more of a carver/pumper and the ceviche is more of a skateboard.
Would you know if Larry still have them? cos i've been to order one and i dont know if i still should, kinda scared there might be none in stock. ahahaha.
To Derek, I also have the salamander and trust me the making of this video amongst many a sessions thie board has been flipped, scraped, pumped, flexed, and even driven into the sidewalk. I used to skate a little softer after my board would tLk a blow but with this deck I'm able to hop righ back on and pump away into a Casanova or big spin or whatever. I even think i started apologizing to the curb more than to the board.
hey great vid but im wondering bout the salamander. Im questioning the overall life expectancy of it. maybe sagging or posibly easy breakage bc of the flex
the board's made from bamboo and fiberglass, Larry says this board is indestructable, despite the crazy amount of flex. I've stood on this board many times in one place jumping on it and bottoming it out repeatedly, and I haven't heard any cracking or splitting at all. And hey, if you snap yours anytime soon after you buy yours, I'm sure Larry can take care of you =)
oh and to add to that, I've had my board for months now, and the only damage I see on it is from it flipping over and hitting things, nothing to do with cracking or splitting. this board's TOUGH and not a joke, from what I see
Dude, this video is SO SICK! 5 stars This completely changed my opinion that the ceviche might be the best shortboard. Just wondering what do you and the other KOYS prefer?
thanks!! well you know, it's all PERSONAL preference, we all have different riding styles. for example some of us like to do more skateboard tricks on shortboards, some don't. you'll just need to find out about how each shortboard rides and see which you'd enjoy the most =]
I'm guessing you're one of the few in the world right now who can say that you've ridden both, since LBL hasn't released many salamanders quite yet. differences? i.e. size, flex, weight etc
to consider there's the Bustin Sojourn, LBL Salamander, Loaded Ceviche. the Sojourn that's out right now is a lot stiffer and has one hellof a kicktail, and is 33". the Ceviche's 33" of bamboo but is also stiff and has the tail that resembles a skateboard's. and the Salamander is 33" of FLEXY bamboo, not stiff at all, and doesn't have any skate-features to it. you can see these boards all are very different so you're gonna have to try them yourself and see for yourself!

If the LBL salamander, Loaded ceviche & Loaded pintal were all the same price...
Which would you buy? (Loaded are available in my country, but I would need to ship an LBL deck over here to New Zealand).

ok well i had uno question????
which wheels are bbeettter?
- Purple stimulus or the purple 4 prez?
and help would be thanks!
oh and keep the videos coming! so stoked!
loadedEmmanuel 2 years ago
there the same hardness just 4 prez are 75mm and stims are 70mm
davidortiz3421 2 years ago
but stims have rounded edges which makes it better for freeriding and sliding and 4prez have square lips so its better for carving

ya stims are like already broken in

in my opinion stimulus is the way to go. I just LOVE the way they feel when they let go for the slide way more than 4 prez. and even when carving hard or not they feel the same. otang stims ftw

the salamander could definitely handle a bowl, but the disadvantage it has is that the tail/nose are not scooped up enough for your ideal bowl skating. the ceviche is better at that because it has a scooped tail like a skateboard. these two boards are different in the way that the salamander is more of a carver/pumper and the ceviche is more of a skateboard.
