2010 LINE Poles

S3B · 2009-02-06 02:26:38

"skinnier and grippier" Pin - short jib pole, bmx grip wraped with bicycle tape Dart - all terain free style, mountain bike grip Lance (sp?) - freeride/backcountry, more traditional profiled grip so, what does everyone think? i think the price will be the decider peace

Yeah I agree I think price is going to be the major issue. I saw Armada's and 4FRNT's new poles at SIA and they are pretty inexpensive and sick as well

Poles break too easily for me to justify buying nice ones.

thats not that bad of a price point even with a markup that isnt unreal for a quality pole...while like the scratch pole is pushing 100$...

i have the original armada poles(black and white tanners) and i love em, havnt broken them yet surprisingly and grips are still at 100%.

I got some old poles for $1, cut and painted them up. I think spending more than $30 on poles is stupid. Poles do not do anything important, apart from making you look "cool".

Does anyone know how much armadas poles are going to be next year? They cost like $75 this year, which i would never spend on poles.

yo neon, check the LV SIA videos for the images (can't remember which video). $75 Armadas, wtf? i was considering a new pole since i gimped my thumb on my x-counry length ones i've been using in the park witht the super 'contoured' grip. i'm hoping to get away from the money grip or shortening them knowing i'll need the length outside the park,

The new Line poles look sick, but I am going to have a hard time justifying shelling out the cash. Like a lot of you guys have said, poles break way too easy.

Scott Series 4 are the most durable on the market, as far as I have seen.

Tell that to a racer and they will flip a shit. Haha. But I think poles definitely affect the way you ride, at least outside the park, where I know I at least spend a lot of time. Whatever.

I'm liking the new line poles. They look pretty sick, so I might get a pair next season for park. Mine right now are just a little bit too long, but I want the length for pow and the rest of the mountain.

i used the pin for the last month or so of the season. that super skinny road bike grip really works well. you have so much freedom to do whatever you want with your hands. add to this the fact that they come in sizes ranging from like 36 to 42 inches, you won't even have to worry about cutting them down. Line doing the unspeakably sensible once again.
