Whipping your pole

So everyone knows its very addicting to throw your ski pole into the air causing it to flip numerous time before trying to catch it before it hits the ground. But, I want to know if you prefer to go with or without the strap on your poles. Do cut it off or like to leave in on. Post some pics of your coolest grips!

would you rather take the strap that goes around your wrist off the pole or do you just leave it on? and if you make your own grips i want to see some pics

Unscrew the screw on the top, pull it out and you can slide the strap out of its slot.

To be honest, I've been whipping my pole very frequently recently. It's just too much fun.

id say the true reason poe straps exist is because racres have to finish with atleast 3 pieces of equipmetn ie 1 ski 2 poles 1 pole 2 skis and wearing a strap means u cant drop ur pole and get DQ'd for some dumb reason i neer wear them in the park or BC cuz if im eating shit i dont want shapr metal shitck anywere near my body but it also reduces ur chances of having to hike a landing and look like a bitch fro dropping your poles

no poles for life mannn (in the park)
