Not sure how I feel about naming a board the "Cream Xtrm". The Greats graphics look awesome, though.

Not sure it would be appropriate to make Halldor stuff w/o innu endos.eleveneightnate wrote: Thu Mar 13, 2025 9:30 amNot sure how I feel about naming a board the "Cream Xtrm". The Greats graphics look awesome, though.

At this point, I think YES is just trolling with their naming conventions. At least they got rid of the alphabet soup that was the YES PYL DCP Uninc name, lol.eleveneightnate wrote: Thu Mar 13, 2025 9:30 amNot sure how I feel about naming a board the "Cream Xtrm".

Yes is no longer the company they started out as. They were a bunch of guys going huge in the backcountry ripping pow and filming with Absinthe.
Since the Lobster/NOW merger if feel they have for sure moved more towards park/freestyle. which isn't a bad thing or a critique of them, just a noticeable change, but it ,makes sense when the Nidecker Group has Jones to cover pow/freeride.

Is it missing pages? Starts on 6. Lots of longer-standing YES models dropped for Lobster ones (Typo, Jackpot).
JPS missing too. Un Inc branding almost entirely wiped; only the pigs on a few Greats. Lobster vibe in general is worse IMO.
XTRM is confusing. Sometimes it's stiffer, sometimes not. Often carbon, sometimes not. Sometimes just limited edition.

I loved the whole vibe around YES during their first few seasons. While the team is still sick, I kinda hate this new direction they’ve been driven down.
