Which model did you get? Scott USA has been making poles for a long time now (it's how they got started).

I have Scott Axis poles and while they can bend, they're really tough and can be bent back into shape.

They're pretty tough, but if you land on them in the pow or something, they'll bend... but yah... just poles

how much were they? cuz the 30 dollar kind break really easily. if you ride hard then they will be bent really quick.

It should say what series the aluminum is. Series 4 is the best. As the number goes down, so does the strength.

I spent a big chunk of change once, and then I snapped them clean the second day using them. Thats when it came to light that poles are just poles.
