So I'm sure you all saw the whole Vishnu thing..

But now if you look at J Skis insta, they have pics of skis with bases that look a lot like Armadas font.

What is going on??

lencon was offered the contact info. of one of the most influential skiers in the industry and he pussed out.

I think that sums up what a stupid, pussy bitch he is.

His post was sarcasm and you know it. But if you guys want me to call him I will:)

For all of you who think I'm making a bigger issue out of this than I am (which I'm not, I don't care what happens, I was just making a thread about similarities that multiple people have noticed), why would you want me to take it a step further by calling him??

Let me translate this for everyone else...

"I'm a giant fucking pussy that would rather make idiotic claims behind an alias on a website. I know my claims are baseless and incredibly stupid because deep inside I know I'm an ignorant n00b piece of trash that's too big of a bitch to talk to someone over the phone. Can I like snapchat instead? That's like so much easier for millennials such as myself with social retardation."

You are the biggest fucking bitch I've ever seen on this website. Keep making excuses as to why you're refusing to chat with the most influential ski manufacturer of park skiing. You know if you got on the phone with him you'd bitch out and agree with everything he's saying while attempting to not piss yourself. Fuck off already. You're a piece of shit and we all know it.

The real question why is there a two page thread about an A? I guess Fox News is right kids these days are over sensitive.

You know I think OP's on to something.

I mean J also put this out, and the font choice and coloring all seem fishy. Pretty sure he's copying this from somewhere too...but I can't quite put my finger on it.

VISHNU
Posts: 614 - Karma: 23,037
VISHNUHello, I personally took the photo for the rug graphic and I doubt J took their idea for a graphic from Vishnu. JLev is a personal hero of mine, and although I would be very flattered if he did take inspiration from Vishnu, it was most likely parallel thinking.
Thank you good day - Parviz Faiz


Well said Parviz, this is Emmett typing now. J Lev is, in my opinion, a top 5 influential person in shaping the skiing world we live in today. If you disagree, you need to do your research and understand the gravity of his ideas and how they have impacted this silly sport we love. From Line MC's to giving Eric Pollard all the creative freedom he wanted to getting Traveling Circus going, to the Reactor binding (which was genius but way way way before it's time) the list goes on and on. Nothing but respect for J Lev and frankly i think the fact that V and J both have this graphic shows that we are on the right track trend wise and artistically speaking. So we should not argue about it and instead just get off the internet and make new graphics and clothes and videos and whatever.

Also wanted to mention that any shit talking done on the Vishnu instagram about this issue (and others) is very lighthearted and I assure you, our little butts aren't the least bit hurt. Back in my day, chirping in comments was what the internet was made for.

Carry on.

Because it seems like its bothering you and you can tell him better ways to design skis so he doesn't get so much hate on new schoolers.

Really? Who cares? Honestly there are only so many fonts out there. At the end of the day an A is an A and has to look a certain amount like an A to be read. If you look hard enough I'm sure you can find several skis that have similar fonts on them, or similar graphics. Does it matter?

Dumb post....

Weighing in, because fuck it. The J ski's business model is literally photoshop up whatever is popular on the internet, and paste it on a pre-existing model. SO it should come as no surprise that a J Skis topsheet may invariably end up looking like some other lazy ski graphic options

If nobody else wants to call Jlev I'll do it. I don't really care about the ski graphic caper of summer 2017 but I'd be down to chat parks and other bullshit.
