skiing with poles in the park is like when peopole used to ski on long straight skinny skis back in 1990. everyone thought fat skis were gay, cheating and just not cool. now everyone is on fat skis. i think skiing with out poles in the park has potential to go the same direction as fat skis did 10 years ago.

he's so sexy that i would not be dissapointed at his skiing even if he was skiing with no ski.

andy does a good job of making no poles steezy but no matter how steezy you make it, it still looks pretty stupid

i dont like poles because everyone else does, i just think they look so much better. and i just dont see how it could be more fun without them, its not like they stop u from doing anything

i give him major props for making it look as good as he does. even though he does us poles the majority of the time u people seem to concentrate on when he doesnt

dont get it twisted
 
he can do what he wants, and the trends my be no poles eventually, but i need poles. it probably would help your balance, because i tried the park last year with no poles and nearly killed my self

before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. by then, it doesnt matter. your a mile away, and you have his shoes
 
well were kind of at a crossroads here with a quasi no poles movement, and some upstart core pole companies springing up, it will be interesting to see which way the ski community goes

KNUCK IF YOU BUCK BOY

The Michael Jordan, the Babe Ruth, The Wayne Gretzky of Newschoolers.com idiots needs no introduction.... but here\\\'s one anyways. John Andrew Steward, a rich kid from Georgia, will not hesitate for a moment to tell you exactly what he\\\'s thinking (and I use that term loosely). His over 2000 posts make him one of the most prolific retards on our list, and he\\\'s become something of a legend on this website, representing the ever-growing intellectually devoid section of the membership here at NS.com. In fact, when the Golden Wheelchair award was first conceived, there was some talk of naming it after him, as a dedication. Also among his qualifications are his being named so often to Crystal-Needs-A-Park\\\'s honorary hall of fame for stupid posts, that the proprietor was forced to abandon the project: Atlantaski simply flooded it too quickly. Further, he had more entries into the original Hall of Fame for Stupid Posts than any other member of Newschoolers.com. Though he went into temporary retirement a few months ago, he has recently returned with a vengeance and, far from missing a beat, has stepped his stupidity up to new heights, recently capturing a GW award for mocking Trevor Peterson. He is fully deserving of his place near the top of this list

if skiing with no poles becomes the order of the year i will either ignore everyone else and keep my poles or i will quit and start snowboarding. like i said before, POLES ARE A PART OF SKIING!!! and EC is right. no matter how steezy you make no poles look, it still looks stupid.

'this is just like sex, only im having it!'
 
im not asking anyone to ride without poles. do whatever the hell you want. but at the same time...you shouldnt be asking me to ride with them. because i do when i feel like it. if you cant accept it, then maybe you should do like the guy above said and snowboard.

to progress, rules must be broken.
 
props to not letting anyone else tell you what to do. fuck those motherfuckers. mainsteam opinion tends to be stupid usually. when did you stop using poles anyways?

personally i like poles and i think they're really handy when traveling the mountain from place to place. but i'm sure andy has a mean skate instead (what about deep pow? do you use poles then?).

what about when you get in a disagreement on the hill? poles are excellent weapons and kicks don't have the same reach. what then andy? boss hog knows all about my mean pole swing technique, i have a pole bent in two places from his skull. you can't do full ski-jitsu without your poles and board-fu might have the potential to over power you. i hope you have some crazy capoeira ninja steez instead, the mahreinator has some tricks up his sleeve i'm sure

 
this thread is still up and running? holy fuck, Guys Andy is fucking Dope, when he rides with poles, and when he doesn't ride with poles, even when we walks down the god damn street, the kid has the skillz to do whatever he wants, and contiues to push the sport and define style for all of us. Leave the guy alone you ignorant bastards.

fair enough andy i get that, you enjoy riding the park how you want. that's the same philosophy snowboarders that are chill with skiing apply so i'm down with that, and it's also the philosophy i apply to snowboarders (not snowlerbladers though - don't get me started).

i gotta ask you though, why is it that on the k2 site it says you've been riding without poles for a few years now, but at superpark this year you rode with poles a bit and in every shot of you in X you are wearing poles? maybe i'm wrong, cuz i didn't actually re-check to see if you were, and correct me if i am.

that was you at superpark wasn't it?

'this is just like sex, only im having it!'
 
In some movies you can't even see if someone is using poles or not if the shot is from far in the distance.

let him do what the fuck he wants to do. im so sick of all these fags making these gay ass posts about someone else and what they do. worry about what you look like when you ski, not other people.

 
Andy is the first dude I have seen that makes no poles look good. Fuck you all, don't tell someone who is a million times better than you will ever be what to do.

 
he has poles in those shots because certain people told him that he had to use poles if he wanted to get filmed.

girls: were 13

schmuck: oh yea...me to.......INCHES!
 
i havent ridden without poles for even a full season. just cuz i dont use them doesnt mean i cant. shit, there is nothing wrong with using them, and i do sometimes...but sometimes i dont...but the best idea of the day is to let this thread die. superpark...i rode day 1 without them...day 2 half n half...day 3 i used them all day. timberline i used them the first half of summer...and not at all for the 2nd.

to progress, rules must be broken.
 
anyone that uses poles sometimes and rides without other times, do you prefer using poles or not using poles, and why either way?

'this is just like sex, only im having it!'
 
andy mahre..please... continue to go out and fucking kill it all over the mountian.

Also, just because Pollard used to ski without poles and then decided to use them because he thought it was better or for whatever reason proves absolutely nothing. In fact, it proves that the man we 'worship' decided that no poles isnt as good as yes poles, so yeah. Lets be reasonable.

no matter how steezy someone is i think they always look MORE steezy with poles. it's just like... stylier (for lack of a better word)

'this is just like sex, only im having it!'
 
I just was wondering what advantages skiing in the park (or all over the mountain) without poles will give you over skiing with them????

 
besides being able to push with them...what are the advantages of having them? if you are skiing where you need to push...then get cross country skis.

to progress, rules must be broken.
 
you have a point, i'm no instructor, but are they pretty much for balance(not much thou) and to just pivot your turns with...

 
i just think it is funny that before he posted about himself and how not using poles is what he does so fuck off everyone was dissin it, and after veryone was flowing with it... and saying how ur a tool if u diss someones style

--------

keep it real

*sauveur cult*
 
maybe it's just cuz i'm used to them but i think that poles just look so much stylier. also, you can't ride anywhere else. if i saw someone riding pow or a groomer without poles it would be even weirder than in the park. no poles sorta looks like aerials. also, because people don't actually SKI without poles it also connotates that you can't ride anywhere other than the park, and i know you don't care what people think, but you know. and i just think no poles looks ugly and unco.

'this is just like sex, only im having it!'
 
i think its frickin dope he doesnt use poles. if u actually watch him ski without them it looks hella tight. its a cool style and progressive

 
i love how everyone has to put in their two cents in hopes that itll affect his decision. let him do what ever the hell he wants, concentrate on your own riding and leave it at that
