Mini Poles For Backcountry Jibbing?

I was watching tanner's segment in frontline for like the 50th time and i noticed all his backcountry booter and rail stuff he uses poles that are cut of like half length and they dont even have baskets on them, they are little sticks. you can see it best when they slow down his railside to 450(mabye 630 i forgot) anybody know why? and if you have the movie watch it so i can make sure im not crazy.
peace,paul

i use mini-poles too. Tanner is shorter than me, so his are even smaller. I use them because i like smaller poles for jibbing, so they dont get in the way, or spread out all far. Tanner uses them, as well as a lot of other skiers simply because they are light and easy to move around for different grabs and hand positions in the air.
also, they are not really mini. The ones i use are 40', and tanner is probably using like 38' or somthing. Prolly a custom length.

hmm no way they were 40, they were like 20, you could tell he took a pair of poles and cut them with a hacksaw, they had no baskets on them, when he hangs his arms straight down they werent even close to the ground. but your prob right, so they dont get in the way.

tanner used to ski moguls, and mogul people use obscenely short poles. people with a racing background like jon olsson and thomas rinfret use longer poles from what ive seen...

both suggestions make sense, but waht doesnt is that he doesnt use them anywhere elese except off of a backcountry booter, and a backcountry rail that they set up. in the rest of his segment his poles are normal length.

Let me se if I understand this piteous bit of a logical fallacy: for some asinine reason, the general concensus here is that skiing poleless is 'gay,' but skiing with poles half the length that is normal is somehow perfectly acceptable?

i think that then its almost completely gay, but since you have part of a pole, you're not a full homosexual.

its all so obvious, if hes skiing in 2 feet of fresh snow, then why would he need poles that reach the bottom of the powder ,when he barely uses then, so he can just poleplant near the top of the powder!!!

does anybody have frontline here? fuckin watch his segemtn if you do. its not fresh snow at all, the inrun is packed like crazy and it looks like it was shot late in the day so the landing didnt have 2 feet of fresh on it. his poles didnt even come close to the ground, is he just a dork and decided to use short poles or is there a logical reason for this?

well no actually thats not true, according to god all black people speak without organized sentences and with cut short constant sounds it's called ebonics, and every black person is a gangsta and owns guns to shoot things ( white people) and remember kids, always be scared of black people,especially outside of walmart. these are laws of physics, if it wasn't like this then it just would be fun

they both had grips, its not like he snapped one and said fuck im gonna use two half poles instead. and you have no common sense, you think when pros go backcounty jibbin they dont bring a few extra sets of poles?

it's an optical illustion from the camera.
I talked to the Oakley Team manager and happened to ask him if he knew anything, and he said yea, Tanner uses 36'poles. They are pretty damnass short and the other guys make fun of him for it.
