How does the bdog compare to the wet? I can get the bdog for 455 this spring or get Vs next year. Not sure really rides on whether or not I can warranty my recks but just wanted other peoples input.

Vishnu’s have a symmetrical all around surfy and poppy feel while the bdogs really stiffen up in the tails

Get the bdog way more bang for your buck plus they’ll last a lot longer

I gotta disagree. Vishnu’s are the most durable ski I’ve been on so far

Sounds super hit or miss, a lot of people claim they’re invincible, and a lot of people say their just fell apart, I have a few homies with Vs and all of theirs are already fucked

Honestly I've been wondering this too, I've heard the bdog is good for jump stability whereas the Wets/Wides really aren't that forgiving in that department. And I heard that the bdogs butter easily despite not feeling super flexible. But yeah, with the bdogs you're gonna have a more conventional flex pattern whereas Vishnus have uniform flex.

Id say get some Vs next year, especially if you’ve never had a pair and love super light park skis. I didn’t think I’d ever like anything more than my Armada AR7s (I know they’re old asf) but I was totally wrong. The insane flex is so much fun to play with, big ollies become effortless, butters come easy, and if you’re real good you can use that all that pop to turn side hits booters. I’m catching stupid hang time off every little thing on the mountain 😂


Probably getting keys next year just to see what’s up and support the company.

Update. Im going to the copper Woodward camp this summer and I might not have good skis. I wouldn't be able to get Vs until next year but I could get Bdogs now. Does that change you answer or still the same

B dogs are fun as fuck and it literally takes no effort to do butters. They are also decent at jumps. I have a friend who goes pretty fucking big on his b dogs and has no problems with stability and I think dollo rode them at the olympic big air too. I'm sure you wouldn't regret getting them.

Thanks for the help. I think I'm gonna ago with bdogs cus my current skis have a broken edge and they most likely wont be warrantied. Need something for end of season too.

Yeah bdogs have literally won a bronze medal in Olympic big air. However it's Henrik who is in the top 15 skilled freeskiers of all time, so idk if that is at all relevant to us lol
