I just grabbed a pair on sac the other day for 25 bills.  We will see how they are.  They are 7000 series aluminum so they should be light and strong

i got a pair from SAC at the beginning of the season, they are the world cup ones and i love them. I havent done much jumping lately though but they seem very strong.

Back in the day, unless you had Scott, Gipron or Swix race poles you were deemed gay by the masses.

I have some of the smallest poles ever that I found in my garage and they work fine. Anything will, I dont think that it really matters. You should start a new trend and start skiing with branches or sticks.

swix makes some of, if not the, best poles out there. most aluminum poles are pretty similar, but i have the carbon fibers and they are sick. everything the company makes is really good quality.

Being a noob, I beat the shit out of my cheap ass swix poles. Still going strong after being run over by a snowboarder (while I was on my ass, but whatever...). Good shit.
