WoW ,,, I cant believe that my request would fire up all that stereo typing, that doesnt matter anyway! Poles or not,, but Soul definitley required! It doesnt matter how anyone rides as long as they are good at their own style. I've been poleless for about 6 years now because it feels good,,Way before it hit the media. But it's true that you have to be balanced to look good at all. Im thinking of getting some poles again this year. Get in contact with me 509 674 9210 ( Jerad ) if you want to have some ride time to see if we can put a small group together to film our own entertainment. I'll be in line on opening day.
