Pole plants off jumps???

[.GaperMan.]

I've been watching some ski edits lately and I have seen peoples landing their poles at the lip of the jump when they are about to spin. I can't see why that helps all I can think of is to help them carve more. Thanks guys just wondering

It's for a change in style.

[GrahamGould]

I think it helps you bring your full body into the rotation a little more

Thats weird, for me its the opposite. I pole plant behind me to set my cork 7s on the right axis, and because it looks sickk.

Please tell me you're trolling right now.

Lots of the first guys came out of mogul background. Poleplants off mogul kickers are pretty much universally used as a timing thing . At least until they started back flipping.

helps with carving off the jump properly and probably helps with popping.

 

[Mr.noodle]

Cuz it's hipster, doesn't seem it'd help with anything

i always just assumed it was a leftover from older skiing styles and some people still rock it. candide's been doing it forever. ive always thought it would throw me off if i tried though
