Hmmm, mine has white base, black eagle, red text. I like the neon green text (was kind of bummed when the base wasn't neon green) and the black base.

Yea, I wanted their popular sno-glow base too. Hopefully they bring it back in 2013. From the looks of the dealer book, there are no boards with neon bases for 2012.

From what I know of for their production they use all the material that they can with out wasting. So you might see a couple different colors around plus these are pre production so some variances from the final product will be evident.

Or Leo is just special.

I like this explanation a lot for various reasons

I was pleasantly surprised with my neon green NS text. It's cool. I think the black one looks clean too.

Evo and revolver both have neon green/black for next year.

Yea, the Never Summer logo is neon green. Dunno if it's enough to make the snow glow though. But man, is that topsheet graphic niiiiiiiice.

If this years like past years, half the boards will have a neon green logo with black base and the other half will have black logo, neon base.

Black logo with neon base will be glowing.

I like the black w. green logo though. that shit pops out!

Think what little devil was hinting at is you should see a black base with green logo and green base with black logo on the evo.

For all the people who have tested the Proto so far, have you tried any bombing/flat-based riding at all? If so, how was the stability?
