[skiierrrrrrr]

Hi I am about 6' tall and was wondering what size pole to get for park?, thanks.

its all personal prefference. im six one and mine are thirty twos but those are suuuper short.

well people say to flip the pole over, hold above the basket, and make your arm a 90 degree angle. i would do that and subtract 3 inches

probably like a 48 or a 50 incher ...

do what i did and buy armada, that way you can cut them to whatever length feels conformable to you, its all personal choice

Turn the pole upside down and grip it with the part that should go in the snow, hold it staright up and down. Your arm should be a a 90 degree angle.

That is the correct way to find your pole size, unless your fucking retarded and want your poles not o touch the ground.

it doesnt matter what company it is, you can cut down all poles, but composite shaft too

why would you want your poles to touch the ground in the park? the shorter the better, infact, just drop poles, they really serve no purpose, and they mess up your steeze

a lot of park skiers these days are rocking poles that are tiny. Tommy

Ellington has his arms fully extended downward and thats were his hands

meet his poles.
