slopestar Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Got 2 days on the new to me Proteus 170. I thought I knew what "pop" meant before riding this. I was sorely mistaken. I'm 210/5'11" and squeeze into punched out 700t size 26. Riding td3 step in's with 3/6 yellow at 50/45. No plate/bindings mounted center of sidecut radius at 20.5" width. The board requires input. What you put in, you get out. Absolutely loved being able to load the crap out of it and have it "sproing" out of deep heel sides. Toe side was a bit more manageable but I found myself leaning in hard on my heel side. More than I have been for sure. The board was bored on flatter runs and behaved well but obviously yearned to be driven hard into the steeper runs. Funny thing, a few simple one footed traverses seemed extremely difficult to manage compared to my other boards. Dig this board. Thank Joe! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breeseomatic Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 You are quite welcome. I don't have the weight or the aggro mentality to ride this board proper like I used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
