the pros and cons of poles:

pros:

you wont get stuck in lift lines and on flat (one of the many reasons we are better than boarders)

steezed out sick gnar gnar exetreme pole pass tricks

some would argue: more steeze

they can be used to beat the shit out of the ten year olds that just roll through the park, fucking up lips and landings

cons:

harder to bust sick two handed grabs

others might argue that you have less steeze if you use poles

feel free to add more, lets find out whats better

travis heed is the epitomy of park rail steeze at this time...
he uses poles...

i used to be against no poles totally but i guess live and let live but im stickin by my poles for a few reasons.
1 more spin generation when you wind up
2 ability to beat gapers to death.
3 and finally i dont like doing grabs all the time.

first of all travis heed epitomy of park steeze. that is your own messed up oponion.
second poles give you no more spin generation and the only way they might a little is if you swung your arms out around you wich i hope you don't do.

Crazy Fool

i give soooooo much credit to those who ski without poles. If your good at it, and you can keep your arms down, it looks sooooooo nice. I ski all park, so im going to try some no poles skiing, but i think that will be a rare occurance. So, in short, there is nothing wrong with no poles, i think its cool, but im not good enough to pull it off.

Lame

no poles sounds rediculus until u try it
i broke my pole one day and so i said fuck it and rode without
and i had one fo the best park days of my life
its really fun to try and for some things it makes it alot easyer (switchups, grabs, ect)
i dont useually drop the poles because my buddies all make fun of me
but when i ride alone i useually do and its pretty sicckk
give it a try b4 u bash it
