I think riding poleless is a good way dyle your syle as far as controling your arms and hands in the air and on rails...you may think it looks weird, but it works, and makes you better, so whatever

Poles are a part of skiing if you don't use poles you are a faggot guaranteed you might not know it yet you are probably like that senator with a wife and two kids who just figured out he is a faggot so pocketrockessect and andy will be coming out in the next 40 years or so guarenteed.

I can easily see how poles would make it easier for training purposes and I have no problem with it. However, I think poles are just one of those things that identifies us as skiers and sets us apart from the ski/snowboarders. Plus, it does look pretty nice to see someone doing a nice laid out grab with the poles, it adds to it if done properly. Personally, I never ride without them just because it doesn't feel right. Sortuv like I've lost a limb or something...

'180 net grab = NOT a new trick!'

Have you ever seen a little kid slide back down the inrun of a kicker without going over? This is why parents shouldn't dump their kids off anywhere near the park...

You guys are funny, you are all sitting here talking shit about style without poles. But I seriously think that there isnt a single person here that is half as good or has any where near the style that Andy has without poles. Just because Andy can rip better than all of you guys with out poles, doesnt give you any right to diss the style.

saying poles are a part of skiing is comparable to saying straight edges and tight pants were 'part of skiing' 20 years ago. i am not neccessarily calling no poles skiing a progression, just a preference... just like some people still prefer non sidecut skis and nut huggers.

i feel naked without them, like i went up without my poles acouple runs t oto film a run down a slope my friend did. and it was wierd. like i couldnt move up in the ski line fast without doing the stupid sideways thing and got in the way. and i also seemed to not turn well. might be all mental though

I would just for park. I think if you could get stuff down smooth without poles than it would make things alot easier with poles.
