get soMWE POOLS DUDE! OEOERORIOWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO

Ninja ninja RAP go ninja go ninja goQW@JKWEKW

POOLS AREE FUN FPWOPEOE

yea, DOES IT REALLY MATTER? they just havin fun. I ski with poles cos I like to, If they like to ski without, thats cool too. you crazy people!

i had this controversy after i snowboarded for like 3 weeks. i didnt want to hold poles anymore. i thought about dropping them but then i chose just to get kids poles. the grips are alot smaller... and the poles are alot smaller. i have 105 cm poles. and im like 5'10'' i chose to keep my poles, but they chose not to they still have skis on eh?? and yea that guy in stereotype looks gay without poles. but these fellers really dont. and just quit fuckin with it.

I've done it here and there for seven years because I want to be a rollerblader

Oh wait, I do that too.

'poles for balance...' hahahahahahaha

I thought it was cool. Logically it makes sense for what they were doing too. If you're in a jib comp, you have no use for your poles, don't even try to argue that. So I'm guessing it kind of evolved by realizing that it's easier to hike without poles all over the place, and then they just kept doing it. whatever, to each their own, you guys act like they murdered a baby or something.

yeah andy, free K2 stuff in the schwag bag!!

this is what the comments section of this site is all about! i love it, usually in the season i dont pay any attention, but now it's winding down i have the time for posting now. Ya, I'm staying by my view of the no poles being not a 'progression' of sking, but a progression of queerness and I know that the fellas in the video were probably just messing around and do actually rip. If I may, I'll thorw out some better sugestions of messing around (not having poles is a very serious faux pau (it's french for bad)). 1. Rip around with really tight clothes on and look like a retrad 2. Attach smoke bombs or other assorted firworks to your equipment and do cool stuff off of jumps leaving a kick ass smoke trail. 3. Get drunk at the hill on such a nice spring day as that one at Alpenthal, there's nothing like driniking brews, hitting rails, filming and having fun in the sun with friends. So in classic Newschoolers fashion, i'll leave you with this; FUCK YOU, TALK SHIT WHEN YOU CAN THROW DOWN AND GO OUT AND SKI FOR YOURSELF. hahahhaha, i'm just clowning around boys...keep it up PS: Buy my stuff in the NS classifieds...its dank

Hahaha holy crap that looks so fucking gay. Use pole goddammit. You can't ell me that the guys with poles don't look soo much cooler. All you boners trying to act cool by saying you don't use poles are just admitting that you can't ski for shit. If poles are a problem for you your a fucking tard. I don't care how good you are if you don't use poles you blow. I've totally lost all respect for Andy.

Everyone stop hating. If you watched the video you saw some people completely killing rails. The video was great. Next time you re out riding watch how people do things its always different. To me this is what makes skiing so great, there are many different ways to do one trick and everyone has their own style so appreciate diversity.

'we' as a collective, have decided that:

midwest_rep = Hitler.

-you are not the fucking voice of the people.

First off Id like to say how fucking hilarious that this has created such controversy. Second of all, why the fuck do you all care? If you don't like it, then don't do it yourself. If you don't like is, just say 'I don't like that style, I prefer guys riding with poles' but calling everyone gay and shit is fucking stupid.

You guys are hating on fucking great skiers who throw down like no other. Why does it matter what other people do so much to you? Ski for fun for fucks sake.

ya know what...im not going to use poles anymore now...just so people that hate on me...hate on me for absolutly no reason, except for the fact that i dont have 2 sticks flailing around the place all the time...whatever...hating on skiers is gay

haha yay. i wuv woo all.

I would hate not using poles and hiking rails cause when you have poles you can push start yourself and keep pushing so you dont have to hike as high to get speed.........so either push with your poles or hike up the hill more, i choose push with the ol' poles.

All of you douchebags criticizing Andy and Davis for not using poles, saying it looked gay, go fuck yourselves. Who are you to tell them what's cool and whats not? These two have more steez than all of you shitkickers put together. Are they saying that riding without poles is the new 'cool' thing to do? No, they're not. All it's doing is adding more style to their game so when you run into them on the hill with their poles in hand, they're gonna make you look like a fucking retard and i guarantee you'll take back all this bullshit you've been spitting. Beeotches.
