Very interesting. Hopefully snowklinger sees this thread. Sounds like exactly what he's been wanting. Not necessary double the camber, but a stiffer, more aggressive all-mountain twin from NS.
I ordered one and should have it sometime in the next week too. I have the same concern about powder but I have a feeling it will do just fine. I guess they should start coming out of the factory around December 2nd. Ill post a review once I get a couple days on it.
I would not worry about the performance in powder - none of the NS decks are anything special in that respect anyway. But lots of potential benefits from the additional camber. This could be really good.
being a twin will be more of an issue in pow than some camber underfoot imo - if you're riding it centered anyway..
seems like a fun board tho... i ride like 1" back or somehting on my heritage... if this thing is stiff enough i could see it replacing the heritage for me.... more pop + more grip + more power = good.
heritage isn't twin, i think this is.. looks like the ripsaw (seriously? that name sucks) has the blunted, longer, lower tip and tail, the heritage is a shorter, more turned up nose and tail...
The Never Summer RIPSAW CR is a stiffer, more powerful modern twin with the versatility of our legendary Proto model. With twice the amount of camber as a traditional RC board, the Ripshaw CR has incredible edge, hold and pop.
This is not just a better Proto. This is basically a copy of Lib Techs C3 camber profile. Last year the Proto topped every magazine review for top boards of the year, this year the Hot Knife is taking a lot of awards, makes sense for them to try and copy it, at least that's what it sounds like to me when I hear the description.
They look pretty different to me :dunno:
C3 looks like a camber board. CR is keeping with our RC Tech. CR is under the RC umbrella with longer and deeper camber areas. Seems like a lot of companies are making a return to camber which in our opinion is a step backwards. We're looking forward and keeping with our superior RC Tech. CR is the perfect hybrid of RC and camber without a deviation in playful shape.
I am done with this. I have explained myself plenty regarding my opinions on the brand and their supposed superior products and have heard all the possible reasons and excuses on their behalf. Argue with me if you want, but I'm done.
wow the hate is so funny. Im still buying one and Im still going to shred the shit out of my mountain with it. Hope you all have a great winter. I ride a proto now so I will give you all a review once I ride it for a bit.
does your sig stand for "What Would Xavier De La Rosa Do?"
(I don't know who that is)
giggle
haha I'm like why does that ring a bell then I remember that he is your Jesus. RUE. lol
<dumbass
I think the answer though is go straight turn less.
gah! that bugs me I think its cuz I grew up in socal and pinoy where every other fucking street is "de la rosa", plus theres the weed. I always like to say "that's why they call it dope".
Is it Festivus yet? Because the airing of grievances seems to be happening.
Not really sure why I'm being brought up in this at all. Ride what you like, if you ask me about it don't cry when I give you an honest opinion.
Name sucks and sounds too similar to the Rossignol Jibsaw. A board that suffers in sales due to its name. I can see the name is going to hurt this one as well.
If you look at the old first generations/prototypes of the RC stuff they actually have more camber than the current generations. The arc is also different in the camber profile. Something I liked back then that when it changed effected the ride.
