Did you ever think that when the little neanderthal children made snowmen in the winter, someone would say, 'Don't forget the thick heavy brows.' Then they would all remember that THEY too had thick heavy brows, so they would get mad and eat the snowman? -Jack Handey
 
IF your skiing right they should be used. If you do not have poles, you should be on snowblades

Skiing is never a sport, but a lifestyle.

but if you have been skiing since a wee lad, you can time your turns just fine....even switch.

I think it looks pretty lame without poles, personally. But, why would you ever want to ski without them?

'can you read what that says?'

'donna simma?'

'yes, that's right. now how would that appear in a phone book?'

'simma, donna?'

'that's right now Simma down na!
 
how could you be gay without a boyfriend?

Not using poles is just one more way for some skiers to try to become snowboarders, Poles make us different, why change a part of skiing that's always been done(except for little the little kiddies). And I think it just looks awkward as hell without them...just my .02 cents

 
you ride big pole.... andy rides whatever the fuck he wants without poles....switch.

You started a thread with a discussion, and if anyone disagrees you bash them? Go ahead and ski without poles, but when guys go through the grouse park throwing misty 7s without poles (yeah we have guys that do that), Thier flailing style still looks really shitty. When Andy Marhe skis with poles, his style still looks really sick. Poles really just show that your proud to be a skier, and not trying to emulate other sports.

 
and hanging your cock out your pants makes you proud to be a flaming faggot....andy mahre's style sucks.

Fucking idiot, anyone without poles looks like a faggot. WHat a worthless thread

I would really appreciate it if you would shut the fuck up.

Do me a favor, kill a racer.
 
george dub doesnt use poles, neither....however, michael jackson does. 12 year old ones. i rest my case.

i think this is getting out of hand, people can do whatever they want, and not give a fuck what other people think, i know i wouldn;t give a rat ass. And it's not like he gave up poles, the dude still rips with them.

honeslty it gives skiing it;s uniqueness it sets us aprts from sports like rollerblading and snowboarding, and I would say snowblading..but that's not a sport

I am a skier because skiing needs a future

people you need poles, it makes skiing look so much more kick arse. Poles keep you balanced and give you more style.

-------------------

'If your not living on the edge youre taking up to much sapce'
 
you know, i have to say it, i am gonna say it, i am not going to defend myself afterwards...

Poles dont do shit.

'poles keep you balanced' BS! if you are holding poles and your poles are in the right position, by default, your hands/arms are in the right position.

'they help you initiate a turn.' again BS. just an extension of your arm. you can point if you want, but you dont need the poles to do it.

poles do give you something to get across flat land, but there is nothing wrong with skating.

poles dont have to give you balance...you just use them for added balance... and as for more stylie...? fuck it...werent huge crosses stylie? yo...whatever

guess she doesn't know hers comes with free refills
 
i was hoping i wasnt the only one that thought that

guess she doesn't know hers comes with free refills

Yes Poles are good, they tell you North From South, ski poles are also good for telling people direction you're going, and also to time you turns, not to mention help come off of umps, and implae the random snowboarder...

 
im not really for the no pole thing but if someone really wants to rock without them then thats ok. I saw that jib thing with andy mahre on it and it was pretty sick, not so much my cup of tea but he made it look pretty stylie. Im just curious andy. do you do that all the time or just for rails and shit. Cuz werent you at parkasaurus, i didnt notice anyone not using them there.

 
the poles will come out from time to time...i had 36 inch poles at parkasauras...they pretty much serve no purpose...but im not done with poles for forever..

guess she doesn't know hers comes with free refills
 
if you knew how to ski, youd all know that poles are necesarry. you have to plant your poles to make turns, or is knowing how to ski out of the park not cool anymore?

If your skiing and you dont use poles, you look like a dousche...so use poles, they are nessicary.

-Timothy Stewart Light-

Your not as great as you think you are.

And i will now end this post with the original 'Fuk U Bitch'.

 
Poles keep your arms from flailing madly, and they DO give you balance. Why do you think tightroe walkers use those big sticks? Poles serve the same purpose on rails.

As for turning, if I ski without poles I really have to struggle to stay forward, and I get backseat realy easily.

this thread is not useless at all. Poles are useless in the park its that simple. I mean shit on rails its not to hard to make no poles look smooth and stylee but once you keep gettin to bigger and bigger shit I mean thats when poles help out a lot.....but it still would sick to see a lot people throwin down smooth without poles it would open up a totally new style of skiing in the park. I rocked no poles a couple years ago and got bitched at like craaazy but it was fun I mean its just something like twin skiing was 6-7 years ago. Open up ur minds-if you dont wana rock poles fuck it you dont hav to no one is forcing you too, just like saying you dont hav to hav t-hall's steez. Its all your choice but I think you at least try for a day and see what u think.

3 or 4 years ago I did it with no poles too, but that was before I even knew about twin tips or that anyone else was doing this kind of skiing. As soon as I went back to poles I felt so much better. Skiing is a sport with poles. There is no doubt about it. Skiing without poles is not skiing. It's like hockey without skates, thats called road hockey; still fun, but not the real thing.

Poles help more than just timing, they keep your stance forward (if used correctly) and cut out a lot of upper body rotation (if used correctly). I ski a lot better with poles than without, therefore I use them.

does it really matter? why should not using poles be offensive to anyone? you all act like it's this grave injustice to the sport. shit, just go skiing for chrissake. I'm a pole user, but I'd reccomend that you all should try the no-poles thing sometime. It really helps with your bodily awareness. bottom line, if it were ski season we would be skiing instead of arguing pointless shit.
