Do you usepoles or no poles

poles. always. i used to ski with no poles when i was a little kid because at that stage they were just getting in the way, but then i got to be decent so i started to use poles.
 
i use poles but every once and a while i will drop the poles for fun. i think its actually good practice at keeping everything smooth
 
probly use poles 60% of the time...I like not having them...I feel almost more free? hah, and it feels harder, even through its all psycological..
 
one pole skiing is much more practical and stylish. within a few years undoubtedly someone will develop a can to replace ski poles all together, and you will all look foolish with TWO canes...

then we'll see who looks "seriously lame"
 
jea poles fer me but when i am making fun of gpers i ditch em. i dunno it just makes you look smoother and can be used to help you land shit if you know what ole plants are. hmmm... what about one pole like fireunderwater said. it might be dope, its prolly gay; ill try it once.
 
pole free is the way to be. if everybody just tried dropping those hand sticks for a little bit they would realize how fun it is.

although poles look super sweet too.
 
fuck you, if you wear airblaster then thats the last straw man. it would turn you into a wannabe snowboarder.
 
I use poles but I learned to ski no poles and didn't start using poles until maybe 3-4 years ago (im 17). Poles definately are sick, but no poles runs once in a while are fun.
 
most of us do its just when im joking around though. if i am seriously skiing then those straps stay on.
 
usually poles...but its fun to ditch them sometimes to do uber grabs and sheeeit, skiing without poles is fun.
 
a lot of people put in here that no poles is fun. im not saying it looks better or worse. but isn't skiing supposed to be about fun. so if you people say it's fun you shouldn't rag on people that don't have poles and call them un stezzy cuz a lot of them you can put poles in their hands and they look the same as you they are just trying to make their time skiing a little more fun.

im not just saying this because i don't use poles 90% of the time.

there is no cooler feeling to me then being able to wrap your whole hand around your ski and being able to feel it in that part where your poles usually occupy. you can't tell me that doesn't feel sweet.
 
Usually I'd rock poles 85% of the time, but now plan on a dead even 50-50 split. Never got to fully expierence the joy of 50-50 split last season getting hurt so early.
 
poles for sure....for some reason when i dont use poles it feels so weird....it feels like going in public with no pants on.
 
well.. i think there are more advantages to no poles over having poles.

advantages include

one less thing to carry

one less thing to buy

one less thing to break

one less thing to remember

it looks good sometimes if done right

ur hands are free to grab stuff all the time

u dont have to worry about taking a pole to the face

there wont be anything to get in your way or tangled up

disadvantages are

hard to skate and get speed fast

looks bad in some cases
