Totally claiming, i sliced a ski pole in half doing a 180. I spun really quick off the ground and i didn't see the pair of poles sitting there and i feel it and one got knocked down, the other one sliced in half and the top half of the pole stuck straight into the ground when it fell. It was ddefinitely some freaky karate kid shit. coolest thing i've ever done on skis, and totally by accident.
 
...

Anyone that wants to ski without poles can, and they should get no shit for it. Anyone that wants to ski with poles can, and they should get no shit about it.
 
Ya i was kidding, i dont care how people ski at all. But it is pretty amazing that your ski no matter how sharp sliced a pair of aluminum ski poles
 
you cut a ski pole stuck in the ground, so that the top half stuck in also?

how is that possible.

either you'd have to hold the top and bottom and hit it really hard, or the ski would knock it over.

I can see denting it, maybe bending it.

you could bend it or break it if you landed on it on the ground, but not while it was standing, and slice it in half. you couldn't do that even with a box cutter, let alone your edges.

I call BS on this one
 
Haha I did the exact same thing during the last day of summer when I was doing butters in my backyard. My poles were getting weak at the bottom from rubbing up against my edges over and over and I was coming down from a butter and my edge came down perfectly on my pole and just sliced it. It sucked though, 'cause they were nice swix poles :(
 
boys, we've found chuck norris' secret identity. I always knew he freeskied.

and no. you don't need pictures to prove of chuck norris' miracles. Just believe. We all know he can pee write the declaration of independance.
 
as someone who was actually there, i can personaly back up this claim. it was fucking ninja shit or somthing. and there was a snowblader guy who was all like "wtf?"
 
WTFF that sounds like some serious nindja shit that would only happen in a movie made by hollywood and then computerized and edited!!

wish i was there...
 
ski edges are really really sharp

i heard a story once of this guy who slit his troat.amazingly he needed oly 20 stiches and he was fine.
 
I landed with my hip on my edge like a week ago. My ski pre-released on this little table and decided to lie there in the landing waiting for me to fall on it. Sliced my pants and left a nasty gash on my leg. Those fuckers are sharp.
 
dude my cousin races, she had perfectly sharp edges that had never touched a rail, rock, stump, whatever, and one time she landed on her pole and only put a gash in it. no way you actually sliced a pole unless you were skiing on samuari swords. bs all the way.
 
Dude i'd swear on anything it was legit. they weren't MY poles, they were just chilling there at the bottom of the hill and i didn't see them till i hit them spinning, and when i looked back there was one ski pole laying on the ground, and the other one was in half with the top half sticking straight down into the snow. no joke, i'm not creative enough to make this up. And no, my skis are the dullest boards you have ever seen....FIXTHEDAMNPARK was there! believe!
 
I'll believe it. When I was learning 5s, I got really mad after crashing several times and while lying on the ground swung my ski pole onto the side of my ski, and almost cleanly cleaved the pole in half. I'll admit, your story is a little more impressive.
