That'd be a joke, a ski pole is just a metal stick. Maybe they are making a pipe-specific pole, but if they do, it's just a marketing scam.

They're probably just going to be shorter, since you don't really need poles in the pipe.

In response to the "short poles are best for halfpipe" movement, Line has come out with a new ski optimized for half-pipes -- check it out, its the new shit!

that would be quite an odd little gadget you would think like what could possibly be different other than the length...so just get a shorter pair of the spiccolis..

oh shit that'll help so much... I guess they'll be more heavy, so when you swing your arms you'll get more momentum and get higher out of the pipe right?

you're stupid that being sarcastic.

but the only reason they're making park poles is because all you people will just do whatever pro skiers do. it's a marketing scam. if tanner hall started skiing with underwear outside of his snowpants half of the people on this damn site would do it. quit doing stuff because a cocky ass pro skier does it. park poles are bullshit.

i really hope this was just a joke or some bad information. i really don't get why people pay so much for poles, especially joysticks. i had 20 dollar scott poles and when i broke them i just stole some from our ski rental and they've lasted last season and this season so in my opinion poles don't mean shit.

maybe theyll be weighted on one side so when you come down the wall you get more speed and gain almost a centimeter more of air.
