]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.

Hey again Vman, Im sorry I wasnt more clear in my previous answer I was at work.
Sadly Bluemountain is only a winter resort.So in the summer we turn our attention to the glaciers ;)

The glacier I was talking about is called "Snæfellsjökull" of the 9 glaciers here its the only one I have actually ridden down.
Last year they had a skilift there but its nothing you can count on.Snowmobile is the way to go really or hiking hehe

Here is a pic of the top;


And the glacier itself;


Dont be fooled though, this is all tiny compared to the mountains in Colorado.

I don't know the exact properties of carbonium, but I think it might alter the flex of the Evo.

Aside from that, one thing I'm sure of is that it will jack up the price. I don't think the Evo should be carbonium based on the price aspect alone.

Besides, the Proto is basically a Carbonium Evo. Having a Carbonium Evo and the Proto would be redundant.

Thanks again Vman & Leo - big love to you both. If i wasn't already sold - i definitely would be by now :D. I was unaware of the science behind the topsheet.

Now i'm left with the task of replacing my cartels with something a little more park driven. I've shortlisted rk30s and 390 boss at this stage - but any views or (unofficial) recommendations to pair up with the evo would be greatly appreciated.

I use the Boss on the Evo and it's perfect in my opinion. Actually, I love my Bosses on multiple boards haha. I do suggest that you contact Rome if you pick up the 2011 model for extra ladders and replacement ratchets. They responded on this forum and told people to feel free to do that because of some issues with those parts.

picked up last season's evo a couple of months ago from dogfunk. was expecting the pink base with green eagle, but i must have gotten one of the later models with the extra materials left over... i ended up getting the neon green base with blue eagle. this combination looks sick, but i was expecting the pink, so kinda torn which i would like better.

is it normal for the neon base color to look a bit translucent? it seems like some areas of the paint are more saturated than others, so you can kind of see stripes where the paint might be laid on thicker.

also, i hear that before first use, you should get the board waxed. any recommendations on what wax to use? ive never waxed my own board, and my other board's base color is pretty boring. will certain waxes reduce the glow effect (or should they all pretty much be clear)?

Hey Mike,

Thanks for choosing our brand. All the Evo's currently in production will have the process blue/neon green bases. Some of the early production did have the black/green bases. These went to the first in the world to get our boards, which was our Australian/NZ accounts and other international distributors. We do flips in bases so we don't waste any materials, so half will have blue base/green eagles and half will have green base/blue eagles. Retailers will not have color options when bought on line, so there would be a 50% chance that you would get your preference. To ensure that you get the green base/blue eagle you would need to contact one of our dealers directly and have them cherry pick the board with that base. Where do you live?

I'm in Lubbock Tx and riptank is the closest retailer but they said they weren't doing preorders until sept-oct when I called yesterday. Im cool with waiting to get the color I want since it not like I'll be able to go right away anyway I jut can't wait to get my setup put together, leaning towards boss 390 bindings aswell but still undecided
