WHO HAS JOYSTICK POLES!!!!!

they may be nice, but my poles are stilllll sick for now, i break them too much to make poles a serious investment
 
my poles are form the 80's, i've bent and fucked them up so many times, yet they've always been fixable, so until i snap them i'm keepin 'em
 
I'm going to go ahead and disagree with the good pole argument. I've had expensive poles both for backcountry and in-bounds, and both have broken immediately. First I had a set of fancy-schmancy carbon poles for in-bounds, and they snapped in three hours--I didn't even crash when it happened. Then last year when I got my first set of adjustable poles ($80, blah) for touring I broke them two turns into my first run. I had to buy another upper section for $25 and haven't broken it since, but they're flexy as hell and make me nervous. The $10 poles I use for resort skiing now have been great, and I'm probably never spending any more than that on poles again.
 
I have a pair of 40$ goode composites that have been beat to hell, fought with, slammed in the door, bent in trees with and nothing but scratches. I love em.
 
I have a pair of ICE poles that were around 50$ and have held up great. I would definitely suggest investing in some good poles.
 
these kids i know have poles called the royal shaft and they are bendy as hell. i hate them. no one get them.

and the name is kind of of the homosexual persuasion
