Yes, I know this is an issue that has been brought up before but why is it such a big deal i see skiers giving other skiers shit because they dont use poles it doesnt even make a difference in the park. tell me who plants there poles while going up to a jump. and since we are a community why cant we just say ok if he/she doesnt want to use poles thats ok or if he/she wants to use poles that fine with me?

having no poles is like getting head from a guy, its all fun until you look down and realize your gay.

hahahaha i think thats funny,

but seriously theres no reason to give other ppl shit for it. if they dont want to use any thats there descision but i personally hate the feeling i feel naked and i have bothing to push on the ground with when in the lift line or in some other situations.

No poles is dope as long as you can make it look good. I tried it a few times, it's fun but I'd never do it outside my local hill because I look like a joke. First rail no poles was the most sketchy feeling I had in months, I felt really unbalanced

No poles is fun when just going down groomers draggin hands and stuff, It looks a little goofy, but when you are a mountain all day, you get bored of just the same stuff so sometimes you switch it up and ditch the poles for a while. It just feels different, and its cool sometimes.

Skiing powder without poles I could see as being lame, but I"m not going to hate on anyone for doing it, just leave them behind.

You shouldnt hate on someone for doing something different, think about the first people to start doing freestyle skiing, it was something different and some people saw it lame.

Stop being a hypocrite.

u can't bash it if you havn't tried it...so bitches give it a shot...it is kinda fun! some people can pull it off, others can't. So quit your bitchin if you can't. But you won't know if you can or can't if you don't try it.

In parks it doesn't matter to me, it may even look better without poles. But if you come to carve and do powder without poles, you better be damn good.

complaning about other people having more style and more fun than you is like getting head from a guy, you think your all cool until you look down and realise your gay.

I dont use poles when Im teaching kids how to ski so when Im at my local hill I might not have my poles on me and its not that much different in my opinion. Anywhere else I'd use my poles mainly because you would have to be killing it to pull off no poles and also I ski stuff other than park and groomers.

well first off..... USE THE SEARCH BAR N00B
and secondly if you call people gay or tell them to get poles because they aren't using them you are just an unintelligent person and you don't deserve an equally unintelligent insult as it would only compile and build on your unintelligence. so if you don't like it just shut the fuck up and whine about it to yourself when nobody is listening. people that are so pathetic they have to demean others in order to feel better about themselves are just rediculous

yeah i really dont understand that, he could so easily do it without a wierd pole plant. it sucks cause everytime he does a cool trick the pole plant thing kinda ruins it, and its hard to ignore it.
