Vishnu on jumps

With your weight they probably wouldn't be horrible, but I wouldnt buy Vishnus for jumps especially if you're expecting to land backseat alot, they're way too flexible

I still wouldn't trust them on jumps, especially if you want them to last

they are the softest skis i have ever been on. You can flex them out by just leaning far back/forwards.

that being said theres videos of cal carson throwing dubs on the pick n shovel money booter which is easily a 60 foot jump so you're fine.

^“pros do X on X ski so you should be fine” is the dumbest point you can make. Pros can do just about anything on just about any ski. That’s why they’re pros. Yeah candide can straightline everything on 4.0s that doesn’t mean they’ll work for an average skier who wants to haul ass.

I am 115 lbs and I have been on the Vs. If you are light they really aren't that overly flexy and unstable. Obviously there are better skis for jumps, but since you are a light skier like me, you shouldn't have a terrible time.

This... and OP, I'm about the same size as you and I've been riding on the Wets (and Wides) for a Roofbox Review the last few weeks. The reality is they are less stable (if you land anything other than pretty bolts) than the vast majority of park skis out there. They aren't actually that soft flexing compared to say, a Line Blend, but they are super rockered so there just isn't much ski on the snow to support you. The 'softer end of medium' flex (as opposed to complete noodle) means you can generally wheelie your way out of trouble rather than washing out if you land a bit backseat on small-medium features but they still feel loose. On bigger jumps, I washed straight through them a few times both forwards and switch. So while you definitely can ski them on jumps, it's not a ski I would consider if jumps were important to me or if I were trying to learn new jump tricks because you're just making it harder for yourself.

Tldr: Are they ideally suited for jumps compared to most park skis? No. Can you manage if you're a am/pro level skier? Yeah, of course. The better you are on jumps, the less issue you'll find it most of the time. But compared to a Candide 1.0 they are hugely less stable on backseat landings, put it that way. The flipside, by the way, is they are actually unreal for jibbing but more on that in the review.

bad idea for jumps those factions are great for jumps

I love them on jumps , idk about what these guys are saying if they haven't ridden them. Yeah they're on the softer side but they just require that you either land right or can recover if you land backseat . I feel like alot of times if I do land backseat , the flex of the skis pushes me back up. If you like the ski and can ski well I don't think you'd have any problems... If anything you'll just have to get used to controlling them and will progress either way

What? They are the flexiest skis I've used and other than the Blends they are the softest I've ever flexed in store. Personally at my size 6' 180lbs I feel a bit sketchy taking them off bigger features. Especially with my mediocre jump skills. Is it doable? Yeah of course. Are they anywhere near as capable as your standard slopestyle skis when jumping? No.

I mean...if a pro can hit monster jumps on them, an average skier hitting average sized jumps shouldn’t be a problem in my head. I hit 40-50 foot jumps on my wets and they never gave me an issue..

As I have said many many times about our skis, if you land on your feet, you will be just fine.

In addition, we plan on releasing a slightly stiffer version of the Wet next year for customers exactly like yourself. If the Wets currently are a 3 flex on a scale of 1-10, the Wet Plus will be more like a 5 or a 6. Testing them currently.

Oh damn, hype train. Sounds like a dream ski.

If you think of that from the opposite standpoint, it can make you better because when you learn a new trick you will be learning how to land bolts instead of landing backseat and trying to keep it together.

vishnu does it all quad corks or nose butter for a mile just get a pair and you'll ujnderstand
