POLES

seriously^

but if you must have gnarley sicktastical poles I think rossi make a scratch pole? not too sure about that
 
there are a few things wrong with this thread:

1) it is useless a pole is a pole. a freestyle pole wont make you a better skier

2) Ski Equipment Forum! Not Ski gabber!
 
shut up, we dont need another no poles or poles thread.

as for the creator, POLES ARE POLES!
 
K2 has some real sick poles this year... and i know i agree a pole is a pole but i really like the k2 poles they are really strong and really light... i hate heavy ass poles... oh and they have sick graphics
 
Yeah, exactly.

If you wanna be really unique and feel creative, just buy some cheap Scotts and paint your own.
 
dunno about you guys, But I break poles alot. I copped a more expensive pair and they stopped breaking. I used to go through like 3 pairs a season/
 
i spent $50 on some armada ones and love them so much. ive had them for 2 seasons, not one bend yet. the grips are amazing feeling, not your average pole grip. more of like a biking grip. and they have easily changeable baskets for powder and for park. i would recommend them to anyone who wants a quality pole.
 
i break poles alot, and my parents got me new ones for my b day, and i broke those three day after. i just keep stealing someone else's crappy poles when i break mine.i painted the ones i have now over the summer. they are sick with a white base, and a blue spiral down the whole thing, and the spiral gets thinner as it goes down.
 
I used to break a lot of poles as well. Went from Scott, to Smith (Z-bends), to Leki World Cup to Ice USA 100% Carbon poles, and I've had them for many seasons now. Best poles I've used by far.
 
As long as they are 100% carbon, solid shafts. The composite mixes don't seem to be as sturdy. Most of the newer carbon poles I have seen have not impressed me one bit.

 
So I have 2 pairs of Scott Axis poles (25$ at sportchek). One set is 34", and the other is 41". They are rather light, and I have not has any issues with the breaking or bending.

Poles are poles. Get whats cheap.

I use to go through about two or three poles a season. Then I got some of "The Royal Shafts".

They look fucking sweet (Multiple graphics to choose from), they're indestructible. And they have a lifetime, no questions asked, warranty.

I got mine at Christy's Sports, and I can't find a website. But looks like you can get them here:

I know they're pricey, but it's the best pole I've ever had,I would look into em.
 
i know poles are poles but the ones at my hill suck and i just wanted poles with a bad ass design. so i guess the question wasnt freestyle poles but does anyones know ones with cool designs
 
Thats the point, no one gives a fuck about the graphics.

Poles are poles, until they start breaking. The only reason I would ever spend more money on a pole would be so I didn't have to spend money on them again.

Fuck your sweet designs.
 
this is the right forum too you fuckin flamer

ski gabber=anything related to skiing

how do you know he isnt just asking if there are any other freestyle based pole companies
 
im going to borrow some rentals take them home and paint them on top with a baby blue base on bottom with white base and do black stripes on them.

if it doesnt look cool ill just return them to rentals
 
yah im using the K2 carbon fiber poles, they rule. they cost a little extra, but they're super resilient. youll save money by dropping 50 bucks on them because you wont be replacing 15-dollar aluminum poles every time you snap one falling while trying a new trick.
 
dont really wanna make a new thread on this - but if you've painted ur poles and they're pretty sick looking, post a pic
 
hahah i did that once, it was my last day in argentina and i wanted to get my pass pulled, so i stole two of those 8ft bamboo trail markers and used them as poles

but in all seriousness fuck poles, they just lead to hurt thumbs, seriously, i bet 99% of NS dont use their poles while skiing park
 
I have always just used scott kids poles, once thoes brake i think i might step up to a pair of goodie poles. What size do you guys rock, i usually use around 42" or what ever i can find
 
if u wanna be creative, do your own design, i taped stripes on mine, looks pretty legit. as for what size poles, i ski with 42's when its not a park day, and since its pretty much physically impossible for me to ski no poles (it fucks my balance over so so so so much) i use a ridiculously short 34 for park
