its not so much about looks, its about the fact that getting around is easier with poles than without them.

if you don't have any poles it shows that you can't ski, so NO!

I think it is just a small phase that will never blow up...poles just seem necessary, like not as much for the park, but they sure help you when you are skiing trees and steeps. You need to plant your poles on bumps to make the turns sometimes.

i do it every once in a while, not very often tho, and only cause in MN our park is pretty short (along with everyother run) which means i'm riding the rope alot and it gets annoying with poles. it still feels pretty awkward tho.

I like poles too, But one reason us skiers have to keep our poles is to seperate us more from aerials, we want to be in a different catagory as them becasue none of us can do a quad quad. (just my thoughts)

200 years ago, skiers used one long rudder to help them turn and we've moved away from that. in 100 years from now, we might not use poles, but i doubt it will happen before then.

poles are a large part of balance and rythm bitches

i don't think it will ever catch on mainstream, but it helps a lot with balance to ski without poles once in a while. if you can get over how it looks, it helps with training.

it takes alot of steeze to not look really weird... honestly though, i like the way no poles look on people that are already dripping with steeze

Skiing without poles in the park is the future.
What looks so stylish about two metal poles in your hands in the air? if you can do the same things without poles, I think it looks alot sicker.
If you can ski without poles with style, then you are a pimp in my opinion.
They are only necessary in the B.C.
I think all of you people look stuipd with poles.
