Leo do you find it is easier to press the board now on rails and boxes? When I had my parkstar the lower rise of the rocker got you that locked in feeling faster on nose and tail presses. I am excited for the HD tech they added so it will sound more more like my blacklist out of the park when bombing the school kids. As always thanks for the review.

I like the graphics/color scheme of this year's evo. My guess is it's a bold, more playful design because it's a park board, more appeal towards the younger generations.

how do your bindings pair up with them? I'm thinking of putting those on a all mtn freestyle board like the proto

To be honest, I'm a jib noob. I haven't taken it to many boxes yet. Been hitting the jumps. I will be doing more jibs next time out.

Extremo is the jibber of the group so he'll be able to get more in depth with that aspect of riding.

I will tell the few boxes I hit were good. You're correct about the low profile tips. Way more stable/locked-in. Of course I still manage very well to eff it up haha.

HD on the new Evo is a welcome addition I my book. I can't wait to hit the natural stuff with this up north.

About my bindings...

Awesome match! Next time I will put my Bosses on it though just to see the difference and give you guys thoughts on both setups.

I LOVE my Genesis bindings though. I can probably rock those on just about any board. The heelside response is there when you need it, but the highback still remains tweakable.

Thank you lol. I honestly didn't mean to lose that much. I haven't weighed this since middle/high school.

I was concentrated on cardio over the summer for my riding this season. It's probably because I didn't lift weights.
