Review: 2012 Never Summer Proto CT - Page 72 - Snowboarding Forum

Leo · 01-11-2012, 09:01 PM

Weird seeing myself carving. Yea, I'm not really maching on that one. Just my normal riding. We still have the season to get more footage of each other. This helps a ton though to see myself since I've never taken lessons. I get to pick out some bad habits.

Thanks for the upload!

I know people say if you're really as good as you think you are you can ride anything, but man after riding cambered boards for 20 years I really can't do the high speed serious verticals as well on a rocker or hybrid style board. There is just something about that spring feeling on a traditional camber board and you transfer from edge to edge that is magical.

Question - Some have black bases, some have white.

What's the deciding factor on what base? The CTX has black and the CT has white?

There is no deciding factor. Never Summer does base flips to minimize waste.

I'm about 130lbs, 182.5cm(bout 6feet)with size 12 boots. Just purchased a Proto CTX 155. Good choice or not?

Also, thanks for the info. I was confused there.

Are you done growing? If so, I'd go with the 152w. You're light for your height. Are you going to pack on some more weight?

Yeah, I will be packing on some more weight over the coming couple years. Some more height and maybe a boot size too.

I'd definitely go with the 160 at your size. I ride the 157 and I'm only 5'9 175lbs. Unless you're riding all park, then you could downsize I suppose.

jbs101 go with the 57 if you want to do more freestyle with it, 60 if you plan on doing more all-mountain.
