Personally i think skiing without poles is sick. I would like to see that more often. We should all drop the poles and just ski naturally without the extra weight. it would probaly get all the ladies too
skiing without poles just makes people who no nothing about freeskiing think that we're snowbladers and as far as the ladies go it just makes u look like an idiot whos just learning how to ski so i'd keep the poles
i think that if people ski without poles, they have to make it look good, if it isnt stylie, then you look even more rediculous. but when people like andy mahre and pollard ski without poels, it looks sick.
i'm sorry, but skiing with out poles looks lame unless you're doing crazy huge jumps or something. to me, seeing someone just skiing, not in the park, with no poles, looks like they're lacking something. plus, well, poles are there for a reason.
Said by Mao, "skiing without poles is like getting a blowjob from a guy, if feels good until you look down and realize you're gay." Shred pow on the Mao!
whoever suggests losing the poles obviously never learned to ski before they started falling on booters. i couldn't imagine skiing without poles, they're essential.
**a skier without poles is like a snowblader with really long blades.
I skied without poles the other day, just to see what it was like, so I could have some justified opinion when hearing about this often discussed topic...and I've gotta say, it's pretty fun.
You're so much more focused on your arms and it makes you way more aware of your upper body when skiing. I can still do rails and spin and ski powder and do moguls and carve and what not, it's just a whole different feeling. Really, just try it for a few runs. Just to gain perspective.
Yeah let's all drop our poles to do the next hot thing and then in 10 years it'll be retro to ski with them. And then you'll be the next hot thing AGAIN. OMG LIKE TWICE IN 10 YEARS!!!111ON3111!
skiing without poles can be sick if you are good. but dropping them because of the extra weight? it was probably an attempt at a joke but common. thats not even funny
