Ok well im buying poles for me so when im in the terrain park i can get that extra balance i need. What are some good poles that wont break if i fall or hit a rail. I dont want to spend to much on them either..

I was looking at maybe the k2 3 speeds or the k2 v6 ...i dont know anythin about poles so if someone could help me it would be great

so you want park specific, cheap and unbreakable poles? maybe ask the lucky charm's leprechaun.You don't have many choices, rossignol, 4frnt, scott, armada and that's pretty much it.

it's up to you and how much you wanna pay i already told ya that scott is hella solid and really legit design. My armada lasted for like 1 season but then my mom roll on them with her car so i can't really tell and havn't tryed the other 2 one.

Well.  I'm almost positive that there is no such thing as a "park specific" pole.  There are poles with park graphics.  I ride with rental poles because they are cheap and if you break them it doesn't matter as much.  If you want a good pole buy the Orange and green kids poles that Scott makes.  Super sick design and you can bend them back, they are also shorter so they look steezier and are out of the way when hitting a feature.

goodwill or if you have ski swaps at your local mountain then go to them for poles. you can get a pair for like $4 and just get like 2 or 3 pairs.

unless were talking carbon fiber or composite poles, poles are poles and thats it. just pick some with graphics you like...

I agree. I myself am cheap and bought Kerma Vector poles off evogear.com for really cheap, but they aren't great.
