Pep, Andy, Eric. Do you think these guys can cut through the hatin' and progress skiing in another direction, riding with big fuckin' skis and no poles most of the time. I always hated no poles, but these guys in my mind could legitimize it, or at least make it not generally frowned upon. I even LIKE them riding with no poles, it fits their style. They are just so damn good the poles dont bother me. FILM THE IDEA.

ive never quite understood why everyone hated on skiing without poles but in my opinion it would be equally senseless if everyone now said theyd actually like no poles because of them

some people do look gay, but it takes practice before it can look good.
i dont ski without poles, im trying to work my way off of them cause if you think about it, poles are really gay, what other extreme sport uses long sticks that dont do anything? they just dont serve a purpose other than to balance, but using a stick to balance in any sport is possible, it just makes it more gay, its kinda cheating.
and who gives a shit if its part of skiing, skiing is gay, people think of skiing as gapers doing groomers, and that is very gay, so if poles are part that then ill be glad to not use them. freestyle park and bc stuff is a totally different sport than just normal skiing.

ive seen alot of people in colorado using no poles lately, at keystone last week almost half the people in the park didnt have poles and most of them looked really good.

but sliding rails progressed skateboarding, poles dont have anything to do with progression at all, no poles is progression if anything.

alot of the little kids have no poles when there learning how to ski thats what ruins it for me because it reminds me of a noob even if the person has no poles even if there a pro.

you need poles, if either one of those skiers did the same tricks first time with poles second time without pole. The trick with the poles will definatley look better. and plus poles help you get around.
