Thanks, I did ride the roxy eminence which is the same was the b-street…definitely a fun board but handles the whole mountain. The size is on the smaller size for your weight but for park it’ll be fine and for turning but if you expect the board to carve and be a hard charger, it won’t be as stable as a bigger size.

Hey Anonymous, glad to help out. What’s your weight, boot size and riding location? If you are looking to ride park, the bigger Infinity probably isn’t the best for you size wise compared to the other boards. Give me more info and I’ll help you narrow it down or see if there’s another board that might work.

Hey, I just had a question about all the different types of rockers… I was lookin for a new board this year, and I’m so confused on which one to get…. I had it narrowed to the K2 VVV with rocker (139), the gnu bstreet btx (142), and the never summer infinity(145). I wanted to use it mostly for park, but I don’t want it to feel sketchy carving if i decide to take it on a few runs… I wanted one that was flexible but herd the gnu is kind of stiff… i herd alot of good stuff about the NS but it comes 5cm bigger than i would like, unless maybe the 5cm really wouldnt make that big of a difference?

sorry for the story lol but I’m really confused, please help :/

Signal is hard to find here, definitely no demos so I haven’t yet been able to try it out. I tried to convince a friend to buy it…just so I could ride it. I’ll let you know if that works.

Hi Shay,
It looks like the Signal Park Rocker is the least expensive RC board out there. Have you ever rode this board???

eyyyy. hey so i heard that signal’s model of the r.c. is pretty solid for rails and jibs, but for jumps I’ve heard other wise. like people say that you landing with most reverse cambers are verrrryy sketchy. i ride in minnesota so all we really have is rails and jibs but the jumps are pretty decent.

I don’t hit jumps anymore so I really can’t answer that question for you. I’ve seen banana’s and never summer’s hit jumps and the riders don’t seem to have issues on the bigger kickers.

I've heard pros and cons on the RC's. I love snowboarding, and love testing out new stuff, but I haven't got the ecomomics for testing out different boards. I've got one big question about the RC's: Can they handle the bigger park jumps 50 feet+? I've read about alot of different brands RC's,and they all say it's perfekt for park and jibbing, but would it take back seat landings or just give in? Would be great if you can give me some info, since one of us is lucky enough to be testing all these boards;)

I’ve spent a lot of this last couple months on 2 reverse camber boards…atomics and never summers. I still have to write the review on atomic’s reverse camber but it is the most freeride specific that I have rode…even though it says otherwise. But definitely best to wait and demo to see what you think about the boards.

Looking forward to the trip, I’ll spend a couple days at Hood riding midweek…so hey if you are around, I could let you ride my boards that have reverse camber.
