Another A+ article. AB is one of my favorite athletes, although he does look stressed out all the time. And if you read this AB thanks for the signed poster last year at SIA.
this company is stupid why the hell dont they make a hybrid park pole or something instead of just making basic poles...like a strap that makes it easier to grab or somethin. that would make me wana buy them a lot more.
^i agree with what you are saying, but i don't share your resentment. I think what they are doing is sick, but its gonna take time to develop into something really impressive
Dude WTF is with the complaints on the poles? They function well, they look wicked, Joystick makes awesome gloves (I wore them the whole time in CO), cool streetwear and the best facemask of all time.
You kill it Tony, and everyone here should support joystick in any way they can!
Anthony. Your video segs this year were sick man definitely stand out. Pillow lines in Japan were sick! so much style. too bad about Oakley I ride their gear and for them to drop you makes me shake my head. Long Live Joystick.
Look this company looks sick and makes nice stuff.. im just saying im tired of companys making unpracticl things and then telling me to be care full. its like cell phones being made of plastic, u know its going to break if u drop it and so do they.... i dont live in a fucking bubble. i want somthing that will withstand me falling on the ipod, or wiping the inside lens or landing on the poles. the problem i have is it seems like the company makes thigns like this so that u do break them and are forced to buy new ones. when i land on my carbond graphite poles noting happens. the point is the company says it will cost more to make and develope a more durable product. but for me i would rather buy 150$ poles that will last for years of me landing on them. then buy a 40 $ pair that i have "be carefull with". fuck being carefull. im care full when im in my grandmothers house and looking at glass ornements. not well im out skiing.
so over all Joy stick help build a more practicle tomorow other wise we will all have to be care full in our bubbles
at the end of the day having a company up dates allows the company to see what the public thinks of thier product and allows them to correct any problems.
so to all u who just say boy that looks SICK. that not right u should say boy i like thoses graphics or oh i like the handles. or what u dont like . i think companys like when they get feed back it allows them to better themselves and progress in the market.
Jebus has a great point, other than that "attack" at Lagrench... I have been skiing the same Scott poles that I got for 15$ for the last 3 seasons. I have fallen on them (HARD too!) countless times. They have never gotten any bends or anything and look fine... How do I justify spending ~100$ or whatever price Joysticks are when 2 of my ski friends bent them quite badly within one month of getting them?
I agree that Anthony is one of the most stylish skiiers and this company is cool... but I'm not going to rush out to the store to buy 100$ poles when my 15$ poles do the job (better from personal experiences). I think that if anyone is going to start a company then they should do it to put out something better than is already available. The graphics on the poles are cool but they need to have more then that to be successful. Not everyone wants to "be careful" everytime they ski because they worry their expensive poles. Make something that is QUALITY and innovative and I will consider buying it. But right now the poles are just any old pole with cool graphics.
Yeah Tony. I like where things are going. The gloves are sick. Where can I get some? Poles are cool as always. I would like to see a little more variety in designs and stuff, but they are awesome. Your the best.
In response to the "why buy expensive poles" comment, there are lots of different things you can spend more on. You get what you pay for, for example the $100 model has a way lower swing weight and a better tip. The fifty dollar models have way better straps and grips than your $15 dollar poles and I bet you'd like using them more. Stoked to see you expanding the company AnT, I can't wait until I can rock head to toe gear made by rider owned companies!
