]We have decided to bring back the "glow off the snow" base colors to our new Evo. Also, the Revolver will keep the black base w/neon green eagle but will also be produced in a flip of these colors.
As always we value any feedback from the Snowboarding Forum community. Please, let us know what you think of these changes.
Sounds like the blue on the Evo will be closer to the blue that was on this past seasons Heritage. Should make a really nice base colorway and be a little different then past seasons.
X2 The base on the SL is to plain. Orange base with a blue eagle would be sweet!
I'd also like to see a clear top sheet so you can see the mechanics of the board.
My skills are one small step from basics and riding itself is the only part of the snowboarding for me. I like the day on the slope: sun, snow and people around – that’s all shine bright and brings happiness in my heart (so do my precious Evo with neon green base).
The point is: Bright colors can add more smile faces – this is good.
PS Imho, Proto CT lacks neon base.. it has light top sheet and neon base will benefit it more (contrast – I know, but..). No idea for the best color though (orange? just in favor of votes here=)).
Hey Vman, the new evo bases look sick! I just wondered if you guys had ever considered including a couple of sticks of P-tex which match the colours of the base in with the boards when they are sold? I got 4 core shots on my evo when it was a week old and had to repair it in black, would have looked so much better if I had a green P-tex to match the base:
Definitely would like to see a blaze orange base on the Evo. That would have me sold over the Proto. I seriously come on here everyday, and each day I read something about the Evo and say, Yup, I'm getting the Evo. The next day I come on and say, yup, I'm getting the Proto. I cannot make my mind up!!
Vmann, I have to agree that you guys are separate from all the other companies out there. You really care about our input and am happy to support NS. Keep it up!!
I hear you guys build the board by hand most of the time, if my order my board can I ask for specific base color, or top sheet type .. will that be posible. Thanks
I would have loved to see the proto with a black top sheet, as well as white, with the same color patterns and the base in orange. I wish we could custom order our boards! I'd pay a little extra to see my creation come to life!
Hey Vince,
Why didn't the SL get the carbonium top sheet treatment?
Well, whats the point in making the board look good when all that everyone will be looking at is your HUGE SASQUATCHIAN FEET!!! OMG Harry, I didn't know you could ride a snowboard, are the Henderson's here with you, or did they stay in Seattle?
Hey Vman -
I was a big fan of the clean black & green colorway, but sno-glow is definitely fun! I'm pleased to say that I have pre-ordered my 152 for next season (thanks to Leo's detailed review) - can't wait for september! Do you know if I will have the option to choose the the blue base with green eagle combo or will it be pot luck in the UK?
I'll also throw my vote in for some 2013 orange, maybe with a black stretched eagle to keep it clean.
Never Summer Forever!
It's awesome to have UK fans!
Thanks for the support and your going to love the new shape of the Evo. With the lower swing weight, increased effective edge and performance of RC/vario it truly is a new age twin. Before we made the base change from Black/Green to the bright blue/green a lot of boards had already been made. Most these boards are slated to be shipped overseas, to our distributors like MAXTRACK Maxtrack - European Distributor for MBS Mountainboards, Never Summer Industries (UK, France, Spain and Benelux), Flysurfer Kiteboarding (UK) So yours might be one of the black/green base. In order to not waste materials we always do flips in bases. So we do half with blue base/green eagle and the other half green base/blue eagle.
The masses have spoken on the orange.
Have a great Summer and September will be here before you know it. Let me know which base came on your Evo
That's awesome oskar. Your going to love the Proto.
I've always wanted to travel to Iceland, looks like such a remarkable place with all the thermal activity, pools, and landscape. Where do you ride there or is it more trips to the Alps?
Hey Vman, that's great to hear. It really is a beautiful country but very expensive.
My local hill is called Bluemountain but it's really small at only around 2700 feet.
The glaciers here are always nice this time of the year, hard to beat riding in the midnight sun
Thanks, I would love to and I'll be sure to hit you up if I do. Tour on a glacier and ride under the midnight sun that sounds awesome! Is Bluemountain open year round?
