Clapping your poles for inner-peace?

[shea.]

pole clapping is awsome me and my friend when we meet on the mountain or if one of us does sumtin sik, a high pole clap is deff in order

 

[faux_real]

clap your tits when faux_real takes the stage

 

[mattster]

only if somone elts lands somthing cool. before dropping in i just take a deep breath or somthing

 

[nothanks]

I would do a gloves on top of the grips steez and then grasp...give them a tap-tap...and give it hell...

Pole tap also used to show much respect for fellow go-big'ers.

 

[J.D.]

Strange, I didn't know this was so popular. I'll usually do it on the first run of a day or when I'm really psyched to do something, usually by myself... because standing alone at the top of a nice line is pretty much enough to get anybody psyched.

hell yeah, I was skiing on my new sticks the other day alone in this area of snowbird I really like called "get serious". I was skiing lines I wouldnt normally ski, I'm not really sure why but I was just pushing it pretty hard for the conditions and I was having so much fun and got pretty creative with some pretty hairy lines. Skiing lines alone is very auxilerating

 

[forfun]

yea a dudeski today @ the railjam clapped them sticks together before doing 630s and 810s off the woooooo rail

 

[Subjekt]

i used to do it before every run as a racer. just 2 clicks, alternating which pole was on top. now i do it when i concentrate before something. i usually sigh while i do it, kinda like "im gunna die" kinda thing.

 

[gaberaham]

i dont, but maybe i should, then i could be rad too

 

[eheath]

I always click b4 i drop into anything, rails, jumps, mogul course, just kinda pumps me up

 

[prophet]

you do all realize its a ski racing thing... start gate stylez. i do it sometimes though.... mostly for getting people out of my way on cat tracks

 

[Paul-o-Rama]

yeah, wow, ive never realized that before, i do it too

 

[Mahre]

clap hands

 

[buffalo-soldier]

i am more partial to the nervous pee in the woods when shit getz real crazy

 

[JesseWest]

i like to just be quiet for a while if im doing something that needs focus. pole clicking works too.

 

[JoakimHayland]

Yea, Im clapping my poles before im going to do something or just before I ride of the hill

 

[Rosbif]

Tend to tap the top of my grips together if I'm feeling nervous.

If you see someone stomp something big or a mate does something they've been trying for a while it's just nice to give'em a pole clap. I love it when someone does it for me.

 

[clint]

i tap my poles, but it doesnt sound cool because there composite

 

[Ahmets_Brother]

i hate when people clap their poles no effense. i usually smack my tails to get the snow off my tip and pull up my pants then resag them

 

[Rosbif]

Even when they're clapping you?

 

[Rosbif]

I do the tail slapping thing too, didn't realise it until I did it on a dryslope the other day, no snow to get rid of!!

 

[dontRIDEsb]

So do I, Helps me focus

 

[suzia]

its like a reflex kindof? but now theres paint chips out of mine

 

[skifiend]

I do that and slap my skis on the ground a few times.

 

[pesja]

we have this ting that when one skier rides, he clap the closest skiers pole and if he totalyn nail his trick, everyone goes wild clapping their poles. but carving alittle in the inrun when your hitting the jump switch, that brings inner peace

 

[freestyler540]

I use it for showing that I am mentally prepared and don't want to talk because I am super concentrated at that moment.
