I started going poleless with my back yard set up, and tell you what it is amazing. i feel way better with out those things getting in my way. So next season my plan is to snap those f-ckers in half and never get a pair again. Whose with me!?

i sorta use poles, about 38inch so they arent really good for anything. i just dont like the feeling of having my hands free unless im having a hiking session

Most people that use poles don't just use them because they think people will call them gay without poles.  They use their poles to actually push, imagine that.

If I'm riding park here in SK I've started going poleless, but if I'm in the mountains I'm going to be using them.

If I ski at a "hill" that has a vertical drop of 200 ft and is called chicopee, then I don't see the point of having poles. But if ski at some nice hill then I use my poles.

I need to consider if not to drop poles, cause i had an accident when i ran my face into a pole. I guess i even got used to ride without them a years ago.

Pow is stupid with no poles.. but occasionally rails and some jumps look pretty good without them.

im pretty much forced to ski no poles next season. my older bro was borrowing mine on the last day and while he was getting bombarded with snowballs at the end of the day, he left my pole on the chair. haha and i dont have money for new poles. haha however if i find some at a garage sale or something im taking em haha
