Hi skiers

I have a school project where i am creating ski poles.

Just a quick question...

If you had the chance to creat your dream ski poles, what features would they have?

Thanks!!

grab friendly grip

big ass straps

flexible (not so no bending)

cheap

pointy

your dream is already a reality

Maybe ones that don't break, they just bend.

thin, but not too thin grips

Medium thickness straps, maybe something with a little stretch to it

mellow colors, but defined graphics (see Joystick Sauce LTD's)

comes in really short sizes to use in the park

really small baskets (like 2" diameter) for park use, and big baskets (like 6") for pow

fucking genius

Moldable grips that give your hand a custom fit.

THIS and Screw off baskewts like line's

 

[based_kinGgod]

really short huge pow baskits black pole with white grips and baskets

 

[roddy116]

short, rasta down the shaft, those grips like the ones on the green line skis poles, straps that have the jibberish symbol embroided on them.

 

[Blindsurfer]

grips that feel like boobs

stick + grip + basket... But not the way Line does it... No offense Line... And btw where do you go to school where you have projects like that instead of writing papers and taking tests?

 

[max61195]

i go to a school in melbourne. its a project that we get to creat whatever we want, it just has to be an improved product

how about bamboo poles?

 

[GNARwalls]

diamond but somehow still light. Also i would like to cast spells with it so it can be a diamond staff a swell. teachers love creativity haha

 

[Blindsurfer]

line already has what you want

 

[gregorio]

sand bag grips?

 

[rareison]

very short, skinny rubber grips alot like mountain bike grips, plain colors such as matte black or white, different sizes and colors of powder baskets, easily removable grips, thick and stretchy straps.

 

[max61195]

bamboo with grab tabs?

 

[Parks.]

if it was done right then it would be soo sick....

maybe some mellow colors that go with everything. alos make sure they are up for the job (wont break easily)

 

[c_roll]

thin, grippy grips, no straps, small baskets, rounded tips, slightly bendable, scratch proof paint

 

[Woodhouse]

Has anyone thought about using a triangular tubing, so you could use less material?

 

[SunnyDigital]

handwarmer grips

 

[skitheWest.]

I just got mine and I love them... got the screw off red pow baskets too

 

[max61195]

is it worth putting grab tabs on?

 

[84891jnf92048]

no. they get in the way of a moving your hands around on the grip. I've taken a few runs with a friend's swixes, which have the best "grab tabs" out there, and gone back to my poles without them and I wasn't missing anything.

 

[rareison]

No cause then it's harder to rest your hands on top

 

[max61195]

would you have bambo or ajustable poles?

 

[84891jnf92048]

bamboo is the worst idea for anything ever. adjustable maybe. only like 15 cm though, otherwise they get heavy, and I use 90 cm poles for park an 105 for pow/all mountain

Poles that glow in the Dark for urban skiing

 

[max61195]

yeah 15cm would be about right! thanks

Glow in the dark is a great idea! thanks

anything else?

 

[RomanceExplosion]

LINE poles are made in China and are cheap commodity poles.

 

[84891jnf92048]

I could eat aluminum and plastic and shit better poles than Line's "pointy sticks"
