Vishnu wets

Just ordered a pair of 183 Vishnu wets. Wanted to get peoples opinion on them. They’re going to be my park ski for rails and buttering. I wanted to see how they’re going to hold up on jumps. Are they able to handle jumps, and if so how big is the max for them? Kind of new to the whole park skiing scene so any advice helps on what the skis are catered to

They won’t hold up unless you land bolts. Soft and rockered is a bad combo for stability.

I asked the same thing a while back about jump stability.. from what I gathered, If u gotta ask then your gonna be just fine. Meaning the size of the jumps (30-50ft) were hitting aren't big enough to compromise our landings. I could be wrong, but that’s what I took away from it. I’m not worried about it either. I see plenty of ppl flying high on Wets.

Are they a stable ski? No.

Can you do jumps on them? yes, absolutely. Some people make it sound like you literally can't do any jumps at all on them and that's just silly.

After skiing wets and wides pretty exclusively for the past few seasons, I couldn’t think of a good reason to ride any other park skis. Their edge and overall durability is top notch, I have never had a park ski survive as long as my Vishnu’s. I love my wets on jumps, I am certainly not doing any doubles, but I have never thought they held me back on trying tricks on decently sized jumps. Plus you are directly supporting park skiing by purchasing a pair.

It's all good man, I was trolling at the time and you fell for it, sorry to put you on blast. Hope you are enjoying the wets!
