No poles good for balance?

I personally think alot of people look foolish, especially on rails when they don't use poles. It's understandable when you're seshing and you drop your poles when trying stuff, but I hatteeeee seeing people bomb the mountain with their hands flapping around. Thats just my opinion tho, def no hate on those who can pull it off. Its funny tho, Wallisch seems to be using poles about 100% of the time now, and the 'no pole' phaze is kinda receding. But whatevs. I agree with the fact that they help with grabs and they definitely keep your thumbs from jamming when falling, but I feel naked without them half the time.
