To the kid that actually started this thread and had a legitimate question and has been the victim of the harshest sarcasm that the world has ever seen:
Tom Wallisch is tall, at least compared to Simon ( no offense Simon )Anyway, I would imagine that Tom Wallisch has short park poles considering he doesn't ski with poles half the time and is pretty hard core. I hope this was a little more relevant than everyone else's replies.
But seriously, I enjoyed the sarcasm too.
