"bro, why you even riding those if you're not that good"

Icant_kfedI guarantee they’re all under 15, just sleep with their moms

ColingarnesPsh I’m a 34yr old dad of 3 girls on custom pink on3p kartels learning park…. The amount of times I’ve been asked “you sponsored by on3p??”


nah bro watch me slide out on this downrail

somburdI bought Vishnu 189 wets this year to try out and learn something new. I love them, ngl, and the feel did help me learn a ton of new stuff this year. The season is over, but I'm just kinda rehashing what was said to me this year throughout the season.

Riding Vishnus came with some baggage I didn't expect. Which I thought was super funny tbh:

"Do you ride for vishnu?" - lmao

"This guys bouta do something crazy" - me, then hitting a rail fs and falling

I tell a kid I'm not that good - "why'd you buy those then" or "bro, why you even riding those if you're not that good"

(there was plenty more funny/interesting shit)

----

Is this normal? I don't care what they say tbf, but is that really what people think of this brand? Probably not, but yeah just a thought.

It's honestly motivating, I'm going to try even more things like 270 on and then off. swaps, pretz. Just need to find time off work to really grind a day or somethin.

All in all, don't let someone tell you those things. stay positive, have fun, and improve!

somburdMy hill is hyland in MN so yeah makes sense. Pretty much a daycare.

LippamaniBrooooooo how you doing this is the dude with Vincent van gss

somburdYeah brooooo it’s the pond wets guy hahah

nmwninjartI haven't had this happen but maybe its behind my back where I can't hear?
I'm nowhere anywhere close to being "good" It may be because of my gender and age though, who knows.
Although a funny moment from Buck hill the other day. A kid went by me, saw my skis and my Tall T and said something like "Vishnu kid! Nice Tall T and skis Whats your best trick?" We stopped and chatted for a bit and he was a little surprised i wasn't a kid , but yet a grown up beginner haha. He then messaged me later on IG when he made the connection who I was.
I get all positive comments on both my On3ps and my Vs.
I don't care if anyone thinks I'm trying too hard or a poser. They're skis , the tool you happen to choose to use to satisfy the urge to slide with. It too motivates me to work harder to get as good as I can be within my capabilities.

bertBertsonI was probably like this at 15, remember how insane high school was? These kids are forced to defend their place in the social pecking order 24/7. They're just carrying that mentality into the broader world and I'd wager the modern social media landscape has made it even worse (I'm not that old but these things change quickly). They'll mellow out eventually.

Nowadays when I see someone with cool skis it's just sick that they have cool skis, couldn't care less about the skill level or whether or not they're a 'poser'.

You do you OP enjoy your hard-earned kit without letting other's projected insecurites get you down 👍

switchlip2I’ve only shit on someone once because they side hit a 10 foot long flat bar on a pair of wets with slider bindings mounted on em.

SchoessYou are no poser, you are everything that's dope about skiing and it's so cool you support small ski brands. thanks for showing up to events and being dope and nice and fun to ski with. Don't stop doing what you are doing please and thank you

clindblomskierWas at the top of the snowshoe park with my ON3P’s and semi dripped out

kid asks me “what you gonna throw on this?”

I’m like dude I don’t know what you’re expecting here but probably a shitty mute grab and then I’m gonna straight slide that downrail after and land sketchy

Frenchmayo1287I just bought 1000 skis and just learned rails will people make fun of me

LippamaniI got to try a pair at wild mountain. He had the park model and I had my wets so we traded for a couple laps and he decided that he was getting wets and I decided I was getting 1000s lol.
