i was just wondering this, but why do we need poles? most people feel strange and cant balance with out them, but you should just be able to do everything the same, especially in the park. idk, i just thought it was weird

skiing without poles just isn't.......right. yah you might not need them in the park but you look way more stylie with poles for some reason. i think poles are what separates us from the snowlerbladers

really with todays shaped skis you don't need them, but back in the day when they were on skis it was to give yourself levrage to finish your turn, nowadays while theoretically they do that you don't need them to turn, maybe in powder but taht's it, otherwise we just use them as balance

well thats funny becuase this post is gay. if you really get technical to be a good skier you need to use your poles.

to initiate your turn dipshit...buy some snowblades or get out of the park.

mckeeman is right, you should initiate every turn with a pole plant. It's proper form, and no, you are not cooler if you don't.






You should belive everything you read on the internet, it's all true.

poles allow you to connect your hands to the slope without bending over... that is a feeling of security and balance. i like my poles...8 years+ with iceUSA.

to anyone who thinks skiers don't need poles watch Pete Mithoefer's segment in Stereotype. He's obviously a pretty good skier (in the park at least) but without poles he just looks fucking stupid.

ThreesixtyFS only said it feels weird without poles,like it does. He asked why the hell does it feel unnatural without them,like you lose your balance or something.. He didn't fucking say nothing about how he kissed his poles goodbye,bought a pair of Linefuck skiboards and went home a gay man. He didn't,but still you dumbfucks,like cj,try to be a wiseass´,but you couldn't even be that. I mean c'mon,nobody likes a wiseass,how can someone like a wannabe-wiseass? Let's get some fucking sense back to NS forums.
