This season I bought Vishnu’s Bc ppl said they were fun buttery sticks and they were right very fun ski. I would not call myself a good park skier by any means. My best trick is maybe a back 2. But recently ppl have been hating on me cuz I ride v’s but suck at park. Normally stuff like this doesn’t bother me but i have been starting to wonder if they are right? Should I ignore them and keep doing my thing or should I rock different skis til I’m better
Fuck them, Vishnu’s are some of the best ski’s for the price they are at and are so much fun to ride. Ur free to ride any ski However you want, and having the right skis for the job will help ur progression a ton too. Vishnu is by skiers for skiers... so as long as ur a skier fuck the haters

By the end I will be nose buttering all over their stupid faces

Literally the best for the price durability wise, also they are fun, also they have cool top sheets, also the content the company puts out is good, also ski whatever skis you want

The durability is insane. I have 1 significant edge crack After probably 50+ days of skiing rails

VISHNUYeah don’t worry about it, just keep learning tricks and having fun FUCK EM
Just wanted to say thanks to all you guys :) never expected this amount of support on this thread so it means a lot
I had kinda the same thing two seasons ago when I rode vishnu wides with the clouds topsheet. I was alright at skiing at the time but looked goofy on them so i would get some shit. Eventually got used to them and had one of my most progressive seasons ive ever had. After two years I had to retire my cloudy bois but they will always have a special place in my heart
danbrowntell them to fuck off, you can ride any skis you want
Dr_Richard_HertzDon't worry about what other people think. If they're working for you and you like them then don't switch em up. If you're finding it hard to progress then maybe consider switching ig, but as long as you're not doing it cuz of what some dumbass thinks then ok.
SuspiciousFishFuck those assholes. Rock your Vishnus and have fun skiing. Those are the kind of park dickheads that you always wish you could talk them into some sketchy back bowl stuff and watch them piss themselves on the top of a cliff band.
ericformanThis reminds me of growing up and people shitting on each other for which soccer cleats they had. Real dumb.
If you like em stick with em and you can have the last laugh when you are lip on blind 2ing all over their stupid faces.
MaimHelpThis makes no sense to me. You’re made fun of for using one of the more affordable pairs of skis on the market? I’d think it would make more sense if you had mags or something cause they are expensive. All in all they are just jealous my dude
WisconsinDogfartDont listen to them, there just salty their dad bought them volkls
Jemscompletely ignore anyone who gives you shit i had the same issue for getting magnus 90s and not being swerve
weastcoastIf you’re a positive and friendly homie (sounds like you are) then people have no reason to hate. I only get annoyed when kids are on “the best gear” when they’re dickheads and act like the shit when they’re really not lol.
FruitBootProHow the fuck are you supposed to learn park if having twintips before you're good makes you a "poser"?
Vishnus are literally cheap skis too, it's not like you're balling out on a top quality setup when you can't even front 2.
I'm glad I've never had to deal with people actively hating on me in the terrain park or skatepark for what I ride. Smh
shred14They all just want to be as cool as you.
larilinesignThe best skier is the one having the most fun!
skeirmanThis shit makes my blood boil. This kind of BS plagued the street skate scene in the early 90's to the point that kids would stop skating.
If these busters wanna trip send me they location.
ASAPCarterYeah dude don’t even trip. I’m on new on3ps, new pivots, new fulltilts, and a new saga kit, and can talk about skiing culture all day long but I only learned how to do rails like a month ago. I’ve been doing moguls, trees, chutes, etc. my whole life but this whole park thing is still (relatively) new to me and I think joining NS was definitely part of what really got me into being a full time park rat.
So yeah, I kinda suck but have all the latest and greatest gear this season... so if that makes me a poser, so be it. Skiing is still a massive part of who I am, I’m progressing super fast, and I’m having fun doing it. It’s really hard for me to hate on anybody that’s just having fun doing what they love, whether it’s some jerry from Texas on rental skis, topher doing daffy butters, the bunch flailing their arms, whatever. As long as your having fun and continuing to pump money into this sport, that’s all that matters. It’s really hard for me to hate on someone just trying to enjoy themselves.
TreegrabberIf you like em and your progressing on em use them
tripleabatteriesthey probably ride 100 dollar Volkls theyre dad bought on facebook marketplace.
If you like your vishnus then ride em
NolanfromPAI also got my first pair of vishnus this year. No joke the first time I got into a lift line with them these kids behind me where trying to chip my top sheet and started to scuff them up with there skis. They where calling me a poser and dumb shit like that.
smh they hate us cause they ain’t us
chafe.Just ski for yourself man, don't worry bout what anyone else says, go get your bag. Ive made more friends from people coming up to me to talk about my V's than any other way out in the parks. Ignore the douchebags, embrace the homies.
kamiRails and cliffs may break my bones, but words will never hurt me
Idahoeone thing I've learned in life is that if you're getting hated on for your style/what your wearing, your doing it right
ColoradoDogfartop i feel you. Im about the skill level of you or prob worse at park and I ski v's. Im not gonna tell you some inspiring story on how I got over it and blossomed. I still feel kinda wack skiing in the park with them cause I look like a poser. only tip I can say is ski with your homies, it makes you feel better in general. and if your homies are actually making fun of you, not just playing then they ain't your homies
BiffbarfOP all you gotta do is drop trou, do your finest switch pizza, and piss all over the features on your way through the park. Anyone talks shit you say THIS MY PARK NOW BITCH then bark at em like henrik and ride into the sunset
Skier-Jon@VISHNU show this kid some love to stick it to the beaters hating on him
Just wanted to say thanks to all you guys. Did not expect this to get this much support! It does mean a lot though so I appreciate it :)
That’s when you say ‘ ah yo the big bro park is right over there we just gotta hike this wall follow me.

I want some bad, I rode my homies pair once and they slap
I am a very bunz park rider but im passionate about having fun and getting better and it sounds like you are too. SO ride your sick ass skis, get good and keep on hucking. I feel like those who actually love skiing and park in particular will never judge others and really only wanna help their homies and get better, so keep riding till those kids get into basketball or roadbiking or something and your park will be free to shred.
op anothet thing, the fact that you found vishnu, did your research and bought a pair shows your more faithful to core skiing than 99% of skiers. by doing so your supporting skiers, not just some large company who just cares about profit. so in the end your doing more for the sport of skiing than most are, and goes to prove that you should be proud of yourself of supporting companies that promote sking
Unfortunately it feels like even a lot of those who love skiing etc like being better and or hating on others for our differences, but what your describing, those are the people you wanna be around.
Rock what ya like man , you’ll have fun and find more like minded souls.

Yunggg_jonLmao yea I know it’s not the best. I’m chillin tho
gotta go ur own pace brother, Im still shit at rails but park rly isn't my priority unless its a shit snow year since I mainly go for the cliffs and shit, b2 is probably my best too
CrunnchyVanMangotta go ur own pace brother, Im still shit at rails but park rly isn't my priority unless its a shit snow year since I mainly go for the cliffs and shit, b2 is probably my best too
I can ski anything, drop cliffs and throw mad airs but can’t back 2 so no worries man, you do you have fun and keep going wherever those planks take ya!
Fuck the h8ers way I see it, if they’re happy with their skiing they wouldn’t worry about yours, and if they h8 they just ant cool so who cares anyway
CrunnchyVanMangotta go ur own pace brother, Im still shit at rails but park rly isn't my priority unless its a shit snow year since I mainly go for the cliffs and shit, b2 is probably my best too
Well this is certainly a weird development in skiing culture 🤨
if you’re going against the grain at your resort you’re probably doing something right OP.
in fact I don’t even like Vishnu- but conformists are way more lame to be honest.
