I genuinely don’t understand the advantages of poles in park other than pushing through the flats and a little help with balance what is good about em like they get in the way it’s another thing to loose in a crash please explain why they good I mean some dudes make it look tuff but what’s the practical reason
This would be cool for about 30 seconds then it would be stupid from then on.
also, i went for like 5 years without poles but poles just make everything better.
skis are heavy as fuck, and to have these weights strapped to your feet (skis) but no weights in your hands (poles) is dynamically a festival of window rolling degeneracy.
some skiers like killian keegbride and sam zahner can penetrate vaginas without poles but most skiers who go without poles look like shit to be honest.
even corey vanulars style was terrible when he went no poles in the johnny rotten video.
and with poles vanular used to have the sickest style of anybody.
so if you want to go no poles to practice thats fine but most skiers are gonna look better with poles.
Arms flailing all over the place just makes you look like a retarded penguin.
You get stronger legs
You can't hit yourself with your pole
You feel a little bit more free
Cons:
You can't push with your poles
You can't make pole plants turning
Poles help skiing powder
Poles make it easier to have style
Poles help with anything big mountain
I prefer poles now, but I went no poles for a decent chunk of time there.
I've twice now pole planted while ripping a groomer super angulated and somewhere gotten the pole kind of stuck in the snow and blasted my neck with the handle of the pole. It sucked both times.
if you think about it poles kinda sus fuck you tryna be grippin on to 2 shafts for the fuck and dont give me none of this 'BaLeNCe' bullshit swear on my fuckin yeezys
