No poles in the park is fine whatever you know, but skiing the mountain without poles has to be more difficult

a lot of the time i feel like when you watch people go down the hill w/o poles there hands are moving like they have them and i think it looks so gay w/o them. i don't care if the kid is better then me it looks so gay. defiantly use poles in the park. i mean my girlfriend doesn't use poles but she doesn't go in the park so that looks ok

thats what im talking about when i said;
"because when you learn with poles you think you need them to ski, specifically the extra weight on your hands makes initiateing turns EASIER..therefore learning how to turn using your body/legs, not your hands makes you a better skiier...you begin to think "out of the box" kind of"

you have to learn to dissociate your arms with turns, it makes your a more balanced and solid skiier in my opinion, pays off when your going mach 9 down a sketch line

hey you know what else feels good? moon bounces, but you dont go around doing that in public do you? and when you do its just the sort of thing you dont talk about.

If you ski a week without poles your balance gets much better and i think ur style looks much steezeir if thats what ur going for. I wouldnt jsut strait up ski with no poles normaly thou. I also hope u ski at a mountain with no traverses or big flat areas

Its awesome to ski without poles. If you can throw your tricks without poles you are a better skier when you put em back in your hands. Whether you like it or not, its a balance issue and is proven to help balance.

in park, poles are just simply a sense of comfort...... take away the comfort zone and it doesnt get easier

not using poles is when your just starting out and barly pizza turning your way around, its easier with poles cause it makes the turns easier for you, skiing without poles it like playing baseball without a bat, you kinda need it...

A perfect example of why ns is becoming gay skiing without poles helps your skiing sooo much, becasue the balance is much different. BUt of course all these kids on ns ar eso concerned about how theyll look. ITS SKIING ITS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN WHEN DID EVERYONE FORGET THIS. oh and the kid who made this tread is absolety disgusting at skiing and smooth to boot

no offense to gay people or non-polers, but,
poles are like heterosexuality pills that keep skiing from becoming really gay, where ski blades and other mediums where poles are not included result in extreme gayness, much like AIDS results in death. the only way to not be a queer while desceding hills with empty hands, is to snowboard. so if you dont like poles, okeydokey, but peeps wit poles have mad steez, better balance, you can tell when they are turning if you are behind them. basically, polers are the supreme race.

this thread should die but whatever. this arguement sucks, "gay" has taken on a new meaning, its not that stuff is actually homosexual, its just indiscribably bad, an agreed upon norm of society we all agree upon...although this proly is very offensive to the gay community, at least its a departure from...you snowblade you must liek to bang guys...

whatever, you suck, stop that

"but peeps wit poles have mad steez, better balance, you can tell when they are turning if you are behind them"

for me, no poles isn't somethign you do permantly, its just a learnign stge...your balance and skiing fundamentals get waaaaaaaaay better, and then when you pick your poles back up, your steez and balance are dramatically improved.

if you can slide a dfd w/ steez, w/o poles, think of how much sicker itll be wiiiiith poles.

if you can shred the gnar w/o poles, think of how much sicker it'll loook wiiiiiith poles.

no poles make you better
