Hey everyone, I have a friend that started his own pole company, check it out!

Sick Stickz is a ski pole company that is trying it damnedest to make it against these huge ass companys.  Check out the original pole design at www.sickstickz.com  I have rode the poles for the season and they are by far the sturdiest, and lightest poles that I have used to date.  If you are not from Colorado (and therefore may not be down with the CO-steeze design), don't fret.  The 2009 pole is in the prototype stage and is absolutely amazing.  THe graphic is vibrant with colors and style.  Feel free to email the site with any inquires, including: sponsorship, purchase (personal or corporate), 2009 pole design, etc.  Thanks for your support with this upcoming ski pole company.

yeah, sorry, they keep deleting my threads for some reason, so I created a new profile with this name.  But yeah, the 09 poles are the sickest poles I have seen in my life.  The graphic is amazing.

Yeah, your sarcasm is on point, you must practice... I'm just saying it probably has some sort of impact on sales.

neoprene strap, scott ain't got that.  7075 Aluminum Alloy, Scott doesn't use it.  Scott poles are heavier and weaker than Sick Stickz.

Sickstickz are forsure the best poles i have ever had in my life. The straps are money and the poles are super sturdy. Ive yet to put a bend in my poles.

4frnt uses the exact same pole manufacturer that we do.  It is just the difference in graphic.  We upped our diameter and I am not sure if theirs are the same.  With that, Sick Stickz may be sturdier.  We also use a neoprene strap that I have not seen on another pole thus far.  How much did the 4frnts go for if you don't mind me asking.

Probably not since it's hard to charge hard without poles and most people still have some either way.

Just keep you eyes and ears open about the 2009 pole graphic.  It is top notch, I am absolutely astounded with what we ended up with.  I'm not at liberty to discuss it, but the 2009 site is getting some legs on it, so be ready for when it hits.
