weastcoastI want to use these so bad for the style points but I feel like they will be a lot harder to butter and press cus I’m only 5 8 and 160
Skiblade420Just get the 177 wets? You could even go 183 if you wanted. Long skis look better

CofferLurkNah dude u will be fine I am 5"6 and I can butter on 183 wides no prob
weastcoastSame but for whatever reason it’s hard for me to do it sometimes... maybe I’m just getting lazy haha. That being said the past couple months it’s been really easy for me to butter and press the fuck out of my 183 wets with not a lot of effort

Skier_man05what size would you get? cus if you get the 177 or even the 183 you'd probably be fine

tsujigiriStoked to finally try a set of these. Been on my bucket list of twigs to try.
need some help with sizing. im 5 11” 180lb, my current park ski is 180, tour ski 183, pow ski 186.
Should I play it safe with 183? Or will it feel short? Considering the 189 but im hesitant since it would be the longest ski I’ve been on.
pinkcamo1000whats your current park ski? One thing I would consider with the 189 wets is that they are still a center mounted ski, so there still won't be a ton of ski in front of the boot, and the swing weight will be low. So even though they will be longer than your 186 pow skis they will for sure ski shorter.
idk man if you're 180 lb and a strong skier the 189s will be no problem I think
tsujigiriJust sold my 180 bdogs a few days ago, they felt a little short last season. I ride my 186 118 black ops 80% of the season so the contrast between the two would kinda throw me off.
pinkcamo1000black ops are burly af from what I've heard, they will probably feel very different from any ski that vishnu makes. But if the 180 bdogs felt short go for the 189s 100%. If you're looking for something that is heavy and stable like the black ops but buttery and playful I'd go for some ON3Ps. Vishnus are very, very light.
hi_vis360Rode my 189s for the first time today. Such a sick ski, just as playful and buttery as my 183s but with a bit more of a platform to land on. The stability on switch landings is unreal, and the slightly larger turn radius is dope too, the ski feels smoother and less squirrely.
I detuned underfoot and after a couple runs did a slight detune on the rest of the ski, seemed weird and catchy will sharp edges but nice and surfy after the detune.
Thank you @VISHNU for the long af park skis!!
ScrewyGot some 189 wet +'s coming in soon, would you recommend a detune for them? Do you just rub/file the edge down a bit to make it more round?
hi_vis360I did a pretty mellow detune with a file on the whole ski, a little bit more underfoot. They felt a little bit grabby skiing before and it helps preserve the edge underfoot I definitely recommend it

Coleg55Weird question but what’s your height/ weight? Wondering if I should go + or normal next year in 189
