major_setI am! and im pretty sure ive seen you doin some flips
weatcoastThat being said I honestly don’t think one is easier than the other to butter on depending on how you do it. If you’re good at getting your weight super far out, then mangos aren’t too bad for butters. the length of rocker combined with tip splay makes a hell of a difference. Ski’s already bent like that so you have to just rock your weight over it if that makes sense. Really round feeling flex profile simply because they are a “round” ski if you look at the entire rocker profile that way. Plus (as far as I know) the mangos are the softest ski they’ve yet to make… they definitely seemed to thin them out from the magnus series, and comparing them to some old filthy riches I copped, those things are far thicker, thus stiffer, than the mangos. I was kinda surprised when I pulled them outta the box and they weren’t the thick ass brick of a ski on3p is known for making.
combine that with a 90 underfoot mango and not as much material you have to work against (FYI I ride the 100s) , and you’ve got a good contender against the Wet.
vishnus on the other hand will flex pretty differently… they’re very flat but also very soft. So they kinda “hinge” way closer to mid ski. Since the tips sit so low to the ground it can be way more of a chore to bend the ski to the same degree as mangos, where they’re already “bent” to that degree already due to tip splay/ rocker. So yeah Vishnus can be way easier to press but putting your weight really far out over the nose doesn’t do a whole lot more than kinda half assing it. Can be harder to pop a proper nollie 1, not to mention you’re way more likely to catch tips in the snow since they sit so low.
vishnus are stupid light tho so take that as you will. Not that the mangos feel heavy, it’s just insane how light wets feel.
I hope that all makes sense and it’s not just some illegibly ranted bullshit haha
