It's this simple people: ITS NOT SKIING IF YOU DON'T HAVE NO POLES!!!!!!!! it's just simply not skiing if you don't have poles, it's as easy as that.

u can lose ur balance alot faster also when ur doing spins wothout them...+ skiing without polls looks dumb as hell and people who ski without polls should be shot and should not be aloud to ski.laters

TRY EVERYTHING EVEN IF IT MEANS, KICKING YOUR OWN ASS
 
If you look at Mickeal's part in Stereotype, he has one trick in the pipe where he doesn't use poles... Personnaly, I think the worst aspect of skiboarding is the fact that they don't use poles so I JUST WISH EVERY SKIER WILL KEEP THERE POLES IN THERE HANDS.

 
well, chat or ski with eric pollard or griffen cummings. they are better than probably most of you, and they make pole-less skiing look stylie. i'll say it again, if you make your own style on the mountain, half of the people will like it and half the people won't. but having your own style is the entire point of skiing.

I race and all I know is that I can't ski without them... once you get used to them you are their bitch... You need them for everything, racing, jumping powder ( duh!! can't ski pow without them)... so ya keep the poles

 
ok so it isn't skiing if i don't use poles, tell me why the fuck i would care...you can call it whatever the hell you want, but the fact remains that poles just aren't necessary for park skiing....either way i don't give a fuck, i have been doing it for a couple years now and i am used to all the close minded people dissin it....later on

 
it's kinda weird, but i skied for like 4 years back east without poles....then when I moved out west 4 years ago, i picked them back up cause it was WAY harder to ski real powder without poles...but I agree that you don't need them near as much in the park...I think it's good to learn big tricks without poles there to get in the way and then just take em with you for the ride when you get it dialed...

I think it's a simple issue of image.

'cause yeah, there's no functional difference. People who are afraid of no poles are caught up in the hype of 'skiboarding is gay' It really doesn't matter, and if the mammoth crew wants to use no poles, give 'er!

Personally, I always will use mine because I hate getting stuck on flats and having to skate.

You can maneouver around the hill easier.

I'm over it.

 
I like to ski the whole mountain and that means i`ll need to skate to get there, pole plant in the deep stuff, and tap my friends in line letting them know i`m behind them. I`ll never stop using my poles.

wow...good quote

I thought the skis made you good. I got the skis and it turned out I was wrong. It must be the clothes.

my friend is the raddest, he got a seasons pas, but didnt have any money after that got broken rear entry boots, and prehistoric straight skis for $10. didnt bother with poles, and he still ripped, he didnt get a pass last year, but we took hime skiing, first run and jump of the year, he decides to go off a 45 foot table- stuck it clean. props. I'll stick to my poles though thanyou, i think it would be really hard to ski big mountain with out poles (cliffs and pow) and that is what i like to do, not just jib. and for jibbing it is all about the pole slingshot on urban rails.

go small it does not hurt as much
 
ok, fine, whatever. whatever floats your boat. if u don't want to use poles, then there's now law saying that you have to use poles. but it's just my opinion that it's not skiing if you don't use poles. it's just my opinion, i'm not closed-minded. just do whatever you want to.

After taking a 5-year hiatus from skiing to snowboard, I don't use poles now that I'm skiing again. Snowboarding really helped my balance, and frankly I'm just used to being poleless. Also, because of how new skis are designed, poles are unneccessary for on-piste terrain.

Now that I'm free-heeling, I really plan on abstaining from poles... I can transfer most of my alpine boarding skills and apply them to the tele-turn.

Aight listen most of you people are ignorant here, riding without poles is obviously somethin different and new thats why you all hate it, but if any of you were open minded enough to try it maybe when you went back to using poles you would realize how much it actually helped you on your style, i mean riding without poles doesnt hav to look good if you doing it to get better in the future and besides if you can make it look good like eric pollard, pete, or micah than thats awesome cuz your basically creating your own style by riding without poles. Honestly Ive seen micah rhoeshe go straight down a double black diamond NO POLES fakie -straight line- and it was coolest thing ive ever witnessed , i mean also add to the fact that had a 5000 digital camera in his backpak. Thats just amzing. Just give it try once, you never know it might help you a lot more than you would expect

peace

 
exactly instead of 2 fingers to grab you now got 5. well 4 and a thumb but thats a whole other story now. anyways no poles is fuckin tough shit. it doesn't look as good, I agree, but for a learning tool to ski without em to get your balance and even without em all the time. at least there still on skis. biatch.

sacrifice, to some its just a word, to others it is a code, what matters is the colony, he is willing to live for the colony, fight for the colony, die for the colony.

 
Who the fuk said that you need polls to ski??

The only reason you have polls now cuz they been making them w/ skis since day 1. I am sure that there are alot of people saying that twin tip skiing is pointless. Who wants to ride down the hill back wards. I am sure u said fuk them i am doing something new. So don't be that ignorant fuk who trashes something new. So suck it up cuz it just may be the new thing in skiing.

just one question for jibtechs quote...if that is true will skiboarding become cool because people ridicule it now..it seems to me that skiboarding is at stage 2. that sorta disproves the quote unless i become wrong about skiboarding becoming cool.
