Best poles for halfpipe

[r5tommy]

i heard joystick is coming out with pipe-specific poles

 

[rachael575]

whats the diff? shorter?

 

[Aenigma]

That'd be a joke, a ski pole is just a metal stick. Maybe they are making a pipe-specific pole, but if they do, it's just a marketing scam.

 

[AttitashSkier]

thats the strangest thing i have ever heard

 

[skiierman]

Strange, or genous??

 

[bmxican_89]

What the fuck is the point?

 

[mathers]

i have two mismatched kiddie poles that go up to my knees, they are ill for pipe

 

[Lineskier-101]

They're probably just going to be shorter, since you don't really need poles in the pipe.

 

[r.w]

yea what the hell? i dont think poles really matter in pipe...

 

[rynmartn]

kinda a weird and pointless ideas. poles are just one of those essential things that don't really matter. think about that...

 

[JazzyJ]

hahaha exactly

 

[BakerBoy]

In response to the "short poles are best for halfpipe" movement, Line has come out with a new ski optimized for half-pipes -- check it out, its the new shit!

[cool_catskier]

i just hold pole grips when i ride pipe, no shaft on my poles.

 

[AwR]

no poles, no honestly i dont think it matters

 

[Stan_Darsh]

thats the gayest thing ive ever heard EVER. fuck i hate hearing gay shit like that. it just ruined my day.fuck you're an idiot if this is true im gonna burn their factory down. next thing will be: pip specific snowpants. they will be lighter. SO GAY

GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAYG AGY AGY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY GYA GAY GAYYY. goddamnit that pissed me off

 

[Silence]

^ you are gay

 

[grubix2]

that can't be right, and if it is... the industry has gone to hell.

 

[KeegLove]

that would be quite an odd little gadget you would think like what could possibly be different other than the length...so just get a shorter pair of the spiccolis..

 

[bmxican_89]

why do you even use them? that would look rediculous.

 

[Stan_Darsh]

i could own you in the pipe wiht my 15 dollar rossi poles and show you up in everything else. bitch

 

[lalalalaura]

oh shit that'll help so much... I guess they'll be more heavy, so when you swing your arms you'll get more momentum and get higher out of the pipe right?

 

[Tapes]

those aren't for halp-pipe

 

[dwall]

you're stupid that being sarcastic.

but the only reason they're making park poles is because all you people will just do whatever pro skiers do. it's a marketing scam. if tanner hall started skiing with underwear outside of his snowpants half of the people on this damn site would do it. quit doing stuff because a cocky ass pro skier does it. park poles are bullshit.

 

[Tapes]

go fuck yourself.

 

[A_Longley]

if you were candide you wouldnt be saying that they are a part of his style and pole planting on the lip makes everything he does look sick

 

[kickerlicker]

Why

 

[r_witt]

i really hope this was just a joke or some bad information. i really don't get why people pay so much for poles, especially joysticks. i had 20 dollar scott poles and when i broke them i just stole some from our ski rental and they've lasted last season and this season so in my opinion poles don't mean shit.

 

[Galin]

im pretty sure the guy was just mocking SHski's thread about park/pipe specific snowpants. Wow, everyone got all serious

 

[skiierman]

^ I just got a bomber hat for Christmas and it's black. Thing is so comfortable.

 

[dwall]

actually it was the other way around.....good try though.

 

[Calrin]

they should make rubber poles you you dont bork your teef on them

 

[JTP300]

maybe theyll be weighted on one side so when you come down the wall you get more speed and gain almost a centimeter more of air.

 

[SSBS]

yeah theyre gonna make pipe poles... and theyre gonna sell em to dumb shit heads like you...

 

[xcjumpx]

amen. poles are poles.
