BOTTLE OPENER I just made a sketch last week of a ski pole grip that had a bottle opener on the bottom of it. especially in bavaria where the beer is soooo good i could use it all the time to open my augustiner bier... MK

what do you guys think about the new Marker Duke Binding, or Jester binding. personally, I think they look super strong and performance eager ... I would actually buy the duke in order to do some backcountry hiking here in the alps.

OK, i want to thank all the great input. The new slpoestyle pole has been presented to leki and they were very keen with the new idea. I have designed a slopestyle pole that has a special feature grip handle. It is a stub that is super short in order to make grabs easier. I might post some...

Personally i take quality over price when it comes to ski equipment. i dont want to risk a day in my favourite elemt due to some shitty poles that snap. would you pay 70 Bucks for poles that last for 4 years, or rather buy cheap 20 Dollar polles 4 times in 4 years? MK

I think the neon is a little overboard then. but bright and obvious colours will do the job. MK

Hey! Dood... thanx for your positive input. well, im actually not intersted in that you guys do what feels right to you, because thats normal and always the same. i can see it in the park. you are all wearing the same stuff and doing what everyone else is doing... right now it is tweaked out...

I am designing a ski pole and am looking for a theme that will take up the graphics. i really like the neon thing, cause its flashy and the poles are well visible. i am also thinking about making a pole based on a samurai sword. grip and blade... gimme ideas Guys. you are the ones who will...

HEY U i am not looking for whats cool... i merely want to know which themes interest you. for example: rastafarian indian/india style maya graffitti art anime war hippie style etc.

would you guys buy a super light stylish pole that fits ergonomically. Samurai style. Update... MK

Hey you out there: I am designing the pole right now and have some concrete ideas: make the grip super short so that it is dideal for grabs (I will get rid of the top plate above the thumb) The design will be based on a samurai sword! the pole will be shaped a little like a sword/blade. which...

OI, Style seems to be ruling the park and over the few years it has developed to a very important theme for us skiers (who rip). Well, I was wondering what style THEMES there are? I mean except the baggy, doo rag style... I am seeing alot of neon outfits, touching upon the 80's. (Sick;) then...

The price issue is definetly a faktor which affects the slopestyle kids. But to be hinest, it shouldnt be a problem to sell poles bellow 15 bucks or €'s. And to offer a simple pole with various grips for the numnerous types of skiers makes sense. I like the idea. lets see how it works in the...

I like the echo!!! i like the samurai sword style better anyways due to the agile symbol of those things. It would even fit very well with the new collection of Völkl with all those asian designs... (Orage open, where the team won in samurai dresses) well, rip it up!!!

Right, to put things staight, the poles will have to have a certain style to them, not just functions! Scott poles ahve some really sick designs on them. Graffiti sketches, neon colours and camoflage are all already available. how do you guys like that? My Idea: Make theme poles such as...
