Vishnu/on3p culture getting worse

To be completely honest though, I do think it’s ridiculous how many people ski on these skis and how often I see threads here saying “what size wet should I get” and “should I buy wet or wide”. I think a lot of people buy these skis just to be part of the so called core-culture, not because they think they’re actually the right skis for them. There are so many great skis on the market but people don’t even consider them when shopping for new ones, they just go straight to vishnu or on3p because that’s what’s cool. Not very good imo
 
there is absolutely no fucking reason for anyone to need vishnu’s. It’s literally all branding. If you really needed that noodly of a ski lib techs or on3ps would be fucking fine. It’s also so fucking stupidly impractical to ski on a ski that noodly to begin with

You have a point that mad people are buying Vs or on3ps just to look cool. But that's always going to be a thing, dudes will always want to look cool, like who doesn't?? Is it really a bad thing that people want to be a part of the culture? I think it's a good thing personally.

For me the reason to ride on3p and vishnus is because they are companies that make quality skis and support street skiing. There are other companies that support street skiing, like Line, Surface, and Armada, but out of those three only armada makes really high quality skis. And IMO Armada with its unbelievably stacked team could do more to put out their own content.

i know you’re an old head but i don’t think you realize how stupid you sound. there’s not a single ski on the market that’s resembles the vishnu wet, it’s not about the brand it’s about the unique ski design. i still see your point that people buy them to look cool though. but seriously recommending lib techs and on3ps as a bendy ski alternative? like really bro?

on3ps aren’t even that bendy it’s such a misconception

Facts. The way their athletes ride them makes them look really flexy, but they’re actually quite stiff skis

for real, they're actually the skis that made me realize I hate bendy skis

I rode invaders for 4 years and then got a pair of Filthy riches, never going back to the super noodle wagon.
 
It’s a very jaded, out of touch opinion.

Because people like you move out to Utah from Minnesota to ski park?! With their Instagram handles on their car. You’re also the dude who said you can’t wait to pass all the mormons in the backcountry on your daymakers. Something tells me that never happened.

Also you must be smoking mids or something because you sound baked.

There’s no such thing as Vishnu/On3p culture. Just ski the damn ski. You’re probably the one who’s intolerable to be around ffs

The NS demographic has never been so accurately described.

Honestly sometimes you just have to let young teenage kids be dipshits and go off on their dumb tangents and eventually get a slice of humble pie. Ive had plenty of kids I coach tell me that ON3Ps or whatever other brand is "trash" while also on the next chair ride tell me that they have to warranty their pair of skis from X or Y company again. so idk Kids will be dumb Kids.

Worst part is sometimes they get ski/gear advice from their parents who are even worse.

Correction, they want to live in places with good parks. There is no one skiing on vishnu’s that cares about anything other than the park and their clout. Send me two people skiing pow on vishnu’s (i’m requesting a real foot plus pow day and that they are using poles) you literally cannot find a person doing that. That’s my whole point here, the parks died 10 fucking years ago and they’re better in minnesota now. If you want to move to utah to ride all mountain be my guest. If you are moving from minnesota to sit on the majestic chair at brighton for 10 minutes to get one park lap in when you could’ve just stayed in minnesota and gotten 60 hits on the down rail in that time with the tow rope, you’re on my shit list.

wtf if going on here, your point has completely shifted, you got a person problem with vishnu. Also read a fucking book and realize that you don’t need to use poles to ski
 
my point has always been the same. Lazy park rats are dickriding Vishnu and have turned this shit into a fashion show all the way down to the cringy supportive ig comments. Incidentally, the majority of people responsible for this are kids from the midwest who fell for the marketing and clout and realized they just have to move to SaLt LaKe CiTy for their identity. They have no good reason to be here-these kids aren’t here for the mountains or the parks, they’re here for the scene, which in exchange has turned a fun stony activity into some sort of freak fashion show involving highly impractical skis.

You act like kids following brands and trying to be cool is new.
 
Looks at thread

Clicks into my Jskis with marker griffons

Snow plows before the ride in flatbox

Lands with smile on face
 
If you’re worried about what other people are skiing on you’re a clown. In nearly 40 years of skiing, every cool brand I’ve seen has at some point become uncool and then maybe back to cool again. Have fun and enjoy ripping with other people who love sliding on snow.
 
Prime example is Dynastar and Rossignol. They’re cool again

you need to brush your teeth more than once a day, also floss or waterpik regularly. No need to see a doctor but make good habits and the problem will work its self out. Disgusting

Then you wouldn’t have any issue. GUM health is MORE important than PORCELAIN polish. MY GUY, this ain’t a joke. Teeth are very important to care for, they can go bad quick and it ain’t fun. Not kidding, DUDE, take care of the GUMS

Mf hitting us with the same lies that he tells his mom in order for her to continue to buy him ON3Ps
 
Honestly the prices of the on3p have gone up crazy I could buy a couple sets from another brand. I have skied them all my on3ps were good but still have my k2 public enemies that haven't died and still ski them more over my on3p. They have been beat on so bad. I know this how skiing would become all about gear. But just go out and ski I have jskis and they have treated me so well I skied lines they were okay Armada is substantial. Honestly it's not the ski that makes the skier. It's all about your progression the gear can only be as good as the skier can get.

Glad I destroyed my knee instead of skis this year, saved me some money.

Jk but their price increase makes sense.

It seems like they literally didn't have the material supply to meet the demand last year
