I have started a very small custom poles company called "Steezy Shafts" or SS. Im pretty good with paint so tell me what you want and ill tell you if i can do it. All poles no matter what design start at $15 plus ship. Pm me with your ideas. Im very legit and will be completly honest whether or not i can do your design.




Thanks, Joe

haha what are you going to do, steal rental poles and paint them up? cuz thats a good idea. those crappy poles are indestructible. unfortunately joe, i do not need pole because mine are good for me.

well what other way were you going to get poles? and southington doesnt even care about their rental poles, you can find them sitting at the top and bottom of ever chair. and you can find them in the woods and everything lol

Thats how EVERY mountain is with their poles. They only cost them between 2-5 dollars a set.

ya it is super easy to make your own just steal a pair at your local mountain buy some spray paint and glossy finish and your done. but it takes some time but this is a great idea. i did it last year but i like how he is willing to do it for you and it is for a really good price

he is doign a pair right now. he said he would put up pictures when he finishes them and they dry. and joe's legit, he wont rip you off. if you think they shoudl be less he will probly lower the price

im going to be very busy people thanks for the response i need to find a cheap way besides stealing poles because my folks are not dow with that and what makes them custom is that you desighn them and i paint then as of now im finishing up mine and as for colors i have white ,black, neon pink ,neon orange ,neon green and shortly i will have like a saga blue. Each tip of the ple is painted in a chrome sort of color

go to the southington swap. i think its next weekend or the weekend after. they usually have a bargain bin of cheap poles, which are the steel ones that dont bend or anything. im sure all you guys above wont mind as long as they have nice color schemes.

yup i was palnning on doin that thanks pete im workin on my poles still mi pink is fucked up so there gonna be neon green and orange and it takes time becasue i already screwed up by trying to rush it so if these arent the best people i promise if you order some i will put much more effort into them i always end up trashing mine so i dont like to work to hard on them. also a new proposition if you guys are comfortable sending me ur old poles i will paint them and send em back for $10

the first pair of steezy shafts are done!! pics will be up by the weekend i need to go over my friends house who has a mac its easier to put pics on i will take 5 orders as of now and only 5. all other orders will be considered but you have to understand its hard to get poles that are cheap. so the first 5 will be accepted.
