Do you sit on your poles?

[alex=]

I personally don't because it's awkward getting off of the lift, but I know lots of people who do. I know I should cause it's the best way not to bend my poles, but I cant develop the habit.

what about you ns?

 

[Blynch2]

I do

 

[charcharbinks]

Solid thread, bro!

 

[jfletcher]

i sit on em, baskets up

 

[TropicStorm]

i squat them

 

[skiRay]

yes, this

 

[a_burger]

Sit, baskets forward.

 

[d00d]

I don't use poles....problem solved!

 

[trilliam]

a very relevant topic. nice one. and sit on them if i got shit to do on my phone or ipod.

 

[kootenayklaus]

Sometimes I just hold them and beat my friends to occupy my time on the chair.

 

[HWW]

i don't understand how sitting on poles is the best way to not bend them. it sounds pretty painful too.

 

[Queen_Selassie]

shoulda put no homo in the thread title

 

[roddy116]

occasionally

 

[stupendous-man]

I tried to do this once but everyone called me gay for some reason. I mean it didnt even feel good but to every man his own.

 

[animeallstar]

Always. Baskets forward

 

[seabs]

Why?

 

[alex=]

gapers throwing a T-bar down, or hitting the landing with them when holding them vertically

 

[THUNT836]

I do, just an old habit from my racing days. I do it automatically, don't even think about it. It's very comfortable if you position them right.

Worded ambiguously on purpose.

 

[last_tango]

I always keep my hands on my poles. Why the hell would you sit on them? That takes more effort.

This thread is just dirty

 

[Zimmy]

Definitely, if you need to free up your hands to do something else like eating a cookie or putting cream on your shnoz.

Others might just like the sensation of something under their leg.

 

[doyle.]

I always have

 

[fennjack]

Ya

 

[E__]

I do when I need both my hands free for something, other than that I just hold them.

 

[BaileyB]

yup

 

[El_Barto.]

I cant imagine not sticking them ender my left leg. always have, always will

 

[buttrapinpirate]

Ooooh both hands huh?

 

[artrud]

 

[Stickity]

no poles lololol

 

[dross250]

this every day all day. I like to have my hands free for snowball tossing, smoking, fiddling and general shenanigans.

 

[cheaaaaaa]

crooked is a must. if your going right down the middle you are doing it wrong

 

[Willgum]

Or the sensation of something under their prostate

 

[Reister]

Always! baskets forward.

 

[B.Aussie]

I do it 80% of the time. I always get them out before I get off the lift though, not as I get off the lift.

 

[Malcolm]

I always keep them in my hands with the straps on in case I drop them. I like breaking the ice that gets stuck to the lift with my grips

 

[will_powder]

Nah man, just need dat ghetto booty to create a crack big enough down the middle.

[numberone111]

. this. didn't know you could do it any differently.

 

[Tikayt]

Never thought about sitting on my poles on the lift. What's the point of it ?

 

[Zimmy]

Just get rid of them altogether. They're a relic of a bigone era.

You can get Z-Poles for your backpack if you're trekking and need them for mountain access.

 

[Skurfer]

Yup. Just gotta make sure they are pushed far enough back so when you lift up the foot rest you dont get nutted.

 

[Reister]

it leaves your hands free for all sorts of badassery

 

[Zimmy]

lol. I find the real dilemma is where to put the gloves. Under the other leg, armpit, on lap or give to person next to you. This really does my head my in. I find armpit is the most stylistic but is restrictive, while attaching to jacket and letting flop around in the wind would be most hipster.

 

[Tikayt]

Uhmm I thought poles could do the job..

 

[GrabsForFun]

Seriously. Why would you sit on your poles?

 

[Tikayt]

Still havn't got a serious answer..

 

[T-Holt]

No, you just can't fucking read

 

[PaleCelery]

Yep, either that or I jam them in the crack where the back rest meets the butt pad. It's tight enough in our bubble chair that it holds them, and then I can get into bubble trubble

 

[The-RZA-Of-Ski]

Same for me, the bending thing sounda wierd to me...

 

[ejm]

can't say i have ever sat on my poles, always just hold them or lay them on my lap.

 

[colin13]

Yup, grips forward. If it's really really warm I'll take my helmet off, strap it to the bar, and put my gloves in there.

 

[Blurst]

Love sittin on a pole or two during a long cold chairlift ride.
