Everybody is skiing without poles

I skied today with no poles, only in the park. I got many stares from them Stowe goers. I thought no ploes was awesome. I will switch back and fourth, but always have my poles on the rest of the mountain.
 
who cares, poles or no poles, its other peoples desions to use them or not. how bout no more poles anything threads
 
my poles broke and i started to learn tricks with out them, so now when i go back its more awkward. but when it comes to real skiing(not park)i use them
 
i usually use poles just because im not always in the park, but for the last few seasons, i have tried not using them in the park. they definately are super fun, but if your looking to do serious skiing then it absolutely sucks dick.

yah we would do park runs and ski without polews a bunch and now tons of kids at our hill are doing it and it sucks because they only do it to be trendy not have fun
 
I like it. Not always. I'll admit the pep and andy edit helped get me on that side but all it did was convince me to try it. I don't always ski without them, just sometimes
 
ya seriously, theres a reason why people have skied with poles for the last 200 years, but really i dont care as long as you arent making our sport look gay
 
i like no poles cuz you feel like a little kid again. and if you wear baggy clothes you get to waddle around like a penguin. its a lot of fun, and when i tried it, i discovered how little i actually use my poles. but i still use poles most of the time.
 
spot on

everyone is hopping on this no poles band wagon post the pep and andy thing

i will laugh so fucking hard if pep and andy come out in the near future saying that they they have always thought no poles was fucking shit and only did it to see what effect it would have on an industry of followers and kids who cant produce their own styles and ideas
 
p.s i id rather fuck JD Zicat than ski without poles. wheres our fucking heritage. the day everyone skis with no poles is going to be a sad day in my opinion, because it will mean park has become the heart and soul of skiing, and skiing big mountain and general all mountain terrain will have become obsolete and extinct. i want this sport to head towards throwing all tricks from the park in the bc etc, not towards 100% park. thats my rant/opinion anyway
 
it just looks so stupid and awkward. i mean even if you're sick you still look like an idiot in my opinion. don't drop the poles...please. it's a terrible fad, almost as bad as tight pants.
 
^^ yeah man i totally agree with you. Its fun for like learning tricks, get the feeling. But throwing with poles looks sooo much more steezier. And yeah i weel like a dork when I need to get up a hill without no poles or a queue that goes a lil uphill.
 
I rollerblade, so when I come back to skiing its like "whoa" I like having poles but when I don't have poles its no big deal. I like having poles though.

 
its just kids that saw pep and andy do it so they are just following. if pep and andy did their run with a turkey leg in each hand you'd see all the kids with drumsticks in their hand riding the park. then towards the end of the day it would just be turkey bones.
 
Ya, you should see the rediculous amount of kids that ski without poles now at P.C.(where the Pep and Andy edit took place.)
 
thats the day i refuse to ever ski into a park ever again. and its the day i stop using the word 'ski' in the same sentence as whatever the hell that sport will be. Maybe we could call it park-planking
 
Yeah it is a growing trend and surely like all trends it will die out at some point. I like skiing both with and without poles and I mainly ski with because it is easier to get around the lift lines and the flat sections of the hill than without poles.
 
And what if a ninja pops out and wants to fight you. You have nothing to fight back with.
 
roughly quoting pep: "people think no poles is a vanity thing, but it really isn't at all. poles are tools, and you use those tools for certain things, other times they really aren't needed..." It ain't about how it looks! try ditching yer poles once in a while and you will see...
