theres no way i'm paying 100 bucks for poles that say armada on them, just get some 15 dollar ones at sportmart, they'll hold up for a few months and at that rate you could go through almost 7 pairs before getting to the amount you'd pay for expensive ones.

I have scott poles or smith im too lazy to check, anyway they are shaped like a teardrop and they were less than ones taht were just a round pole ... any idea why ?

yeah your jus paying for the brand there, but i know they make certain poles thinner so that grabs are easier, thats why i dont liek mine

how are you gusy stealing these poles too ?

dude, I bucked up and bought public enemey poles, they are the shit. They ahven't broken at all, they look dope, and they are light, and really stiff. good poles are worth it.

I think Joysticks are cool and all...but they aren't free, which prevents me from using them.
