I think they're like $80, which is rediculous.

why would anyone pay $80 for poles! its cool if your into that but, $80 in my oppinion is to much. just take poles from the rental shop. or something cheaper.

theyre made to match the skis, they have removable baskets, and grips which are suppose to make it easier for park riding (grabs and such)

As much as they are, I think I might get them. They're cooler looking, strong, good grips and removable and changable baskets. And being able to buy just one replacement pole is key, I break them and bend them alot.

only poles I would ever buy, would be ones with a warranty. So if I break them, I get new ones on the spot. Since I go through at least 2 pairs of poles a season, I no longer purchase poles because a warranty like this does not exist. Yes. I trashpick for my poles, and it has served me well :)

I'm going with joysticks...

****and a quick question to all of us insanely priced pole owners...

what do you do with them when you go into eat or take a doozie or something? take them with you and set them at the table? try to keep and eye on them? I mean.. I lock up my skis on the rack, but what about poles...cause they are mad easy to swipe.

I'am 5'4 and I use 46" to 48". generaly If you flip the pole upside down (so the basket is up) and hold it right below the basket your arm should be about 90 degrees

All baskets are removable/changable.
80 bux for poles is too much cuz you'll prolly beak or lose them in a season. Just go for the cheapest ones in town, thats my style.
