In my opinion the blue jets are a scam.
I have 70+ days on my vishnus and day 3 of @jacksparrows jets they are way softer than my wets. They are so soft they already feel soggy like edgless bdogs.
Edgless bdogs for anyone who hasn't riden a pair feel like sliding weights with no stability. No pop no playfulness. The jets already feel this way. To whoever started the myth about them being the same as first gens I applaud you. You had almost everyone.

Only thing I can say for the blue jets is durableillity but even day six they have more top sheet damage than all three pairs of my skiis combined so not really.

I believe that this event of the blue jet scam will go down in ski history.

you can’t call jets a scam if you willingly bought 1000 skis

First of all 1000s only get a bad rep because of durability. And I ride way harder/ claim than jack sparrow and his top sheet is in much worse condition. Also 1000s are the most fun of any ski I've tried. For example if I could get any brand of skis for life and didn't have to pay for them 1000s would be my choice.

they also have a bad rep for costing $200 more than jets while probably being half as durable.

That's what you get for following trends and buying skis in their 2nd year of production. You see someone jibbing a traffic cone and assume they are sick so you get mommy to throw her card down to some kid in SLC making skis for the second time. Its common sense really.

Point is if you want a solid ski maybe test some out from established companies that have been making skis for decades. Don't watch zootspace 5 times, buy the skis they ride, then complain the first time you click in.

Sounds like it’s the core profile. Probably milled it thinner.

Neversummer uses pretty much same materials for every ski. My NS made RMU is very obviously an NS made ski. All NS made skis are pretty identifiable
