Not even gonna mount them up tbh.. I think i'll turn them into a coffee table? Maybe a Monoski ? Either way, the less new wavers the better ..

Step 1: sell all but 1 of each type to grubby teenagers

Step 2: mail remaining skis to your own factory in China as “prototypes”

Step 3: have factory make you your own V’s

Step 4: sell new But same V’s at a cheaper price than old V’s

Step 5:?????????

Step 6: profit

Step 7: congratulations you started a new gnu wave

Yup but the risk and ROI simply isn't worth it for me. Pinkbike did a video on this and the same problems they have with bikes, they will have with skis. I wonder what steps Vishnu takes to make sure their skis aren't shit

" Ohh i luv 2017 snowboard steeze, i hate poles because they are too mainstream. skiing downhill is for pussies its all about popping around on benches and landing sideways. White mitts and snowboard wizard hoods are the only thing that matters in skiing. i am so unique omg...we are the counterculture!" did you see my urban landing" it was to flat and i didn't move an inch after.

haha company name is Vishnu, puts Virgin Mary on topsheet.

Also tried to look at some of their skis and only saw a product video of kids skiing completely out of control with snowboard dino hands. At least they sell busser Aprons at a premium.

bro i live for vibey small resorts. Real mountains are lame I like to hit up skateparks in the winter instead. I also keep my bangers til 2-3 feet after i land; ie. right swerve, left turn, slide to switch hands up. - sometimes i end my tricks into the lift line when im filming with my ipad.
