have any of you guys ever tried it? i would think it would be cool cause you could learn tricks without getting bludgeoned by a pole...what do you guys think about style without poles etc.

 
there is an old thread about this go try to find it

i like my poles, useful for when you wanna go actually skiing not just hang in the park all day, and even then i think skiers should always have poles, no poles is for snowlerbladers

 
you look like a monkey with out poles, no style, its like a snowlerblader

I ski poleless - it's a carryover from my few years of snowboarding

Have you ever tried skiing without poles? it's almost impossible. i pretty much just fall over with out them. POLES- the key to a good relationship with your skis.

Here in Europe you learn to ski with no poles, and get them as you progress to help with timing turns. It sucked to be with no poles, everyone knew you were a rookie.

Ha, I didn't know there were such strict guidelines to what makes someone a skier. By putting rules on skiing, your taking away the whole essence of newschool. Don't be so ignorant.

They call 'em fingers, but I've never seen 'em fing.
 
hey man if you want to do it go ahead...you'll be looked at as a fruitbooting faggot... and never get respect from real newschoolers. Do what you want..your right its a freedom of expression...but I'm not trying to express to anyone that I'm a fruitbooter

i didnt say i liked doing it...i was just asking if anyone had tried it...i have skied with poles since i was 5 years old and don't really intend on trying it without them, i was just wondering what you guys thought about it...weasel fuck

 
easy guys....this is an old thread..but yeah...u just look silly...and it's true that people judge you on how u look, not always on what you do

we learn with no poles here in canada too, i think that is standard teaching practices

 
so i take it that griffin cummings gets no respect from you guys for skiing no poles? hell, he took first last year over candide. and that whole crew from hood, pollard etc that go pole-less at times, even though they could kick 90% of everyone in here's asses. you limit your minds by saying they are fruitbooters. as long as your not on a fuckin skiboard, your a damn skier. poles or no poles. beginner or pro.

whoever likes the idea of skiing without polls should eat a dick and become gay... because no skier will ever consult with u after that..

NO POLLS= VERY GAY

TRY EVERYTHING EVEN IF IT MEANS, KICKING YOUR OWN ASS
 
Skiing without poles is like skiing naked... like being naked in a bad dream kind of naked, not good naked... well you know what i mean

Being Irish, I guess I should resent the Notre Dame nickname 'The Fighting Irish.' After all, how long do you think nicknames like 'The Bargaining Jews' or 'The Murdering Italians' would last? Only the Ironic Irish could be so naively honset. I get the feeling that Notre Dame came real close to naming itself 'The Fuckin Drunken, Thick-Skulled, Brawling, Short-Dicked Irish'

It's good to see that some people here aren't trying to limit the sport. Props to Lane and Adrenaline.

When training in new tricks no poles are nice. Tricks look a lot better with pools, but poles do break and thumbs can hurt. If your break tons of poles and have no one that will buy you new ones, then add the poles when you know your able to land your trick. There is no reason for breaking 20 pairs of poles a year, and ruin your fun for the rest of the day if you run out of poles.

So basically its ok to look like a monkey while training, you sure do look like one when you stand there with no poles and haven’t got a clue how to ski without.

 
Tricks do look alot better with poles, but are much harder without them. but to say only people who ski with poles are real newschoolers. just to let you in on a little secret, alot of the pros you idolize in the videos you buy practice without poles. pep, mickeal, turpin, and a whole whack of other skiers. im guessin there not real 'newschoolers' then hey. your a bitch,so ya shut the fuck up cause you don't know shit.

that post above was directed at undercarriages stupid ass comments.

ok, i'm going to put an end to this post...Skiing without poles it quite possibly the gayest thing anyone could do on skis. skiing without poles is even gayer than gay sex while riding up a chairlift. anyone who skis without poles should be required to get ass raped before being able to buy their ticket. faggots

 
haha, and i disagree, i think gay sex is more gay than skiing without poles, depends on what floats ur boat i guess

1)I enjoy in-line skating. Not only do I find it fun, but I also find it to be a great method of cross-training.

2)I don't give a flying f*ck if people respect me or not for not using poles. I ski to have fun, not to impress people. Skiing, for me, especially NS, is all about freedom. That's the same reason why I tele: free heels, freeriding, pure freedom.

i agree with whoever said lots of pros train without poles...i know a couple of days this summer at high north julien was skiing with no poles tryin to learn zero spins

 
Are some of you guys some sort of park fashion police? When I’m in a park I’m there to have fun, not to try to look good for a bunch of guys(if I did, I would be a fag, right? And sorry guys im not).

So please try to show some manners and let people ride what ever style they want.

 
ok, no one said julians poles got in the way ec. it's nice just to not worry about your poles when your concentrating on a new trick. so, if you like crashing and breaking poles, be my guest. but i know i would rather dial in the trick and then throw the poles in my hands when i know i won't break them.

1 aluminum poles suck, i used break about 5 or 6 a season,

then i bought nice composite ones, and i've only broken 1 pair ever,

i got a pole stuck under my rib cage after messing up a big 360, so I was scared to use em for a while like 3 years ago

Check out the new Poor Boyz movie 'Stereotype.' Some guy skis without poles and can do like cork 7s and stuff! Its funny, not sure if it's serious or just a joke!

Go Big or go home. Life isn't a dress rehearsal, it's opening night.
 
haha thats pete mithoeffer.... he was also throwing unatrual cork 3's and unatty 5's over really big tables..... he was a skiboarder who tossed on some skis, and is still trying to find his style.... griffen cummings, and pete, and some others are very acomplished skiers who ride without poles, and undercarrige, shut the fuck up... your an idiot....bryant put it best.... weather it be skiing, skiing without poles, or skiboarding, its all fun on the mountain, dont put restrictions on it... its not a fashion show.... just mellow out, and share the mountain

props bryant, lane, and gregg....

Lumberdude, is that a trick question? What came first the chicken or the egg? I think it was the pole but that’s just a guess, i kinda failed ski history class.

If you are referring to why newschoolers use poles the answer is easy, so they don’t have to walk up again to pick up the rods after doing a trick, plus it look more spectacular or non old school with poles.

 
Skiing was originally used for transportation, not for fun. Poles aided a person in cross-country striding and occasionally in skating.

I believe that adrenaline junkies have used ski to have fun from the day they got them.

This is a 1800 century adrenaline junke called Sondre Norheim from Norway. This is a drop from he’s cabin in Morgedal. Later on he dropped from a 40 feet barn, and skied some spectacular places.

 
On lines website it says pollard skiied the 1260's for awhile without poles.

There is nothing motherly about mother nature. Except for her big mountainous breasts.
 
so here's a question to all of you that say that skiing without poles isn't skiing. So, what are Snowlerbladers that blade with poles? are they skiers then?
