I've just made some new poles by cutting down my dads old KERMA race poles and i want to know what the best sort of grip or grip substitute is. I want something fairly skinny to get my grabs better but still solidly grippy. Also preferably pretty cheap. Please help.
 
I did the same thing with my dads old poles. I cut them down andthen added duct tape to the top so I could but a bmx bike handle on it. Best decision/money I ever did/saved. The only thug is that I couldn't find a comfortable way to put straps on and I had to wrap a lot of hockey tape on the bottom of the handle so it wouldn't slide down when buttering or pushing. But it's easy just twirl the tape like appliying it to a hockey stick and you can make it the perfect size. Also I got to custom spray paint it so it looks awesome. Sooo much better then paying 40$ for line pin poles.
 
Bike grips work really well. I have them on my park poles. Just duck tape the top of your pole so its snug and slide them on. Their also cheap, my grips were $5.
 
get like 40 boxs of condoms and roll em all on there and the tuck them into the tube. most durable grip put there.
 
that would be interesting.... but would actually work like amazing for awhile cuz they would just stick to your hand and you could completely let go and grab the ski!
 
use the sticky hokcey tape. i hated it for playing hockey but it is so damn stickey it would be perfect for a grip.
 
I sure wouldnt want to fall on a pull that was just taped at the top. At least put some cheap bike grips on them.
 
Quick question i have put bike grips on poles before i like they feel on my hand since im used to it (becasue i bike) but i dont like the feel of it with my glove on any suggestions
 
pipe gloves are awesome, but if its cold i'm totally sold on mittens. mittens are the shit! check out Celtek, the gloves/mittens they make are sweeet.
 
does anybody know how to make a strap for it? also go to a tennis shop and get some tennis grip tape it feels like the line poles!
 
I wanna make some ghetto straps cause I just have some quad grips or whatever on my poles and its sometimes a pain without strappydoodles. Ill keep you posted if i invent anything revolutionary.
