I went through 3 pairs of poles last year (snapped one, one got stolen, and my friend lost my last pair when I let him borrow them).. WHat are some decent poles taht I could get for like 50 bucks, or for christmas.. And before anyone says joysticks, I would really rather not just cause I know I would be called a poser in 2 seconds.

Uhhh, joysticks? Who cares if people call you a poser, support their company. I personally would never pay more then $5 for poles.

same. poles arent like skis, they are all the same so you might as well get cheap ones

ppl that say theyre all the same haven't had a pair of good poles that won't break on a hard landing etc. that being said... good poles cost $$ so anything under $50 is basically the same :p

Well if that's all that matters to you, I suggest you steal some rentals.

Yea I just got done bending the shit out of one of my poles and regret paying the $50 that I payed for them. It bent back just fine but now the paint is chipped off the bottom of them. Go cheap with poles.
