I just bent the shit out of my new Scott ace of spades! I've only used them twice and i don't even know how I bent them. Why are poles so damn expensive anyway. You'd think that an $80 pole would hold up for a while
 
I feel ya, thats why I buy 25$ poles and just bend them back whenever I take a bad spill, I've had the same poles for two seasons now and they are the shit. My whole setup is sparkling and my poles look like something they would refuse at the dump.
 
i bought some scott silencers or whatever the all black ones were called like 2 years ago and these fuckers are still straight and perfect after soooo much abuse
 
fuck carbon poles man, they bend and maintain their shape through quite a few crashes but once you break one in a crash and see the fuckedup jagged creature that remains, you arn't going to feel safe with them. I almost killed myself with a carbon pole afew years ago, I crashed onto it in the park and there was literraly two jagged swords sticking out of the ground after I landed. Fuck that noise
 
i donthave a problem with poles...i had a pair of scotts for 2 years then got new ones and theyve lasted all season without bending
 
well the pops actually bought em for me... totally didn't expect him to. I don't even know why i let him now though
 
i dunno, i think its worth it to buy really nice poles. i have some that were around 90 bucks cdn. and i cut them from like 125cm down to about 105cm and i havent bent them in three years now. i kind of bent it last week, but you cant really notice.
 
ya i got some 20$ scott poles and ya theyre bent but it doesnt matter as much since i didnt pay much. i bet u can buy some rental poles from a ski shop
 
Actually it is the mark of being a hyprcritical douche...

I love it! You justify stealing from a mountain but chastise stealing from an individual.

Who the fuck do you think pays for stolen shit...we do! In our ticket and hamburger prices.

Don't be a hypcrit
 
Haha, retard. Tourists are going to end up paying for 95% of the stolen shit. And who actually buys food at a resort anyway? (tourists (or people that have money to waste and would buy poles anyway)0
 
i have abused the shit out of my Joysticks and they are fine.

there not that expensive even though people complain about that alot
 
i rent poles lol and if i break um i go to the rental shop they say sorry and give me new ones its happned twice already and i love it
 
I never said that. I just wanted to point out that you were wrong to suggest that a local skier is going to end up paying more money at the resort because some of the local skiers steal $10 poles.
 
^^ lets look at it this hypothetical

My roomate manages a rental shop at Moutnain "X"...he is reponsible for the gear that goes in and comes back

At the end of the season managment looks at his books and finds out three dozen pairs of poles were stolen....

This has happened five eyars in a row and every year he is told to find ways to reduce theft...yet it still happens

My roomate is fired, can't afford rent and has to live on the streets
 
Haha, nice try.

Lets try this hypothetical...

No poles are stolen from a rental shop for 5 years. The owner makes more money and finds he has excess to spend. He experiments with drugs and is eventually addicted to heroin and dies in an argument with his supplier.

You can make a retarded scenerio for anything...
 
heh heh heh...ur better off just to gather up a bunch of old shitty poles and keep them so that when one pair brakes u have fifty others
 
thats why i think joysticks are a good idea, but a bad investment...

i have two pairs of poles, and i didnt buy either, so i didnt know where they came from
 
I have scott poles, they're about 20ish years old. They haven't broken. Go to a garage sale and buy a pair for cheap.
 
Ya I've already gone through three pairs this year. I just go a huge sports center store and get poles, cuz all the people there in the ski department dont know crap and I get them for ten bucks because they don't have baskets and they are sick poles
 
i hac some nice adjustable ones but the got stoled and the next day stupid chailift stopped suddently, swung back and bent the fuck out of my other pair
 
yeah man just buy some real cheapos... i got mine for $20 and have had them foe 4 years i just bend them back when they feel like bening on me... and this weekend i jsut found some ill scott poles super old they're sick
 
You make me laugh!!! you think we pay $7 a hamburger and $50 a lift ticket because of 10-30 pairs of rental poles being stolen in a year (at most)..... Nope it's to give the Executives that extra fireplace in their houses and helicopter transportation everywhere. It's like taking a bag full of hot sauce from Taco Bell... everyone does it!
 
i have a pair of two odd poles that i got from ski rentals last season(last day) for two bucks, they have been bent everyway like 100 times but they never old so they are sick, i figure they are from the 80s and have bright pink baskets, 1 pink griopm, 1 lime green grip
 
If my Joysticks were anything else, I would have broken them at least three times already. The extra strength is definitely worth the 80$.
