if you cut down your poles, you are going to have to get them re-cuped, and I doubt you can do that yourself.. Besides, a pair of Smith's are only $19.95...

while you're at it why don't you cut your skis down the same way and make them shorter too

jesus, it takes like 20 minutes, it would take 5 except you have to boil water, just take out the strap and put the handle in the boiling water for a couple minutes, then take off the handle and cut the pole with some pipe cutters, then put it back together, its easy





die.

Or if youre not a puss, you wouldnt have to boil water. Usually you can just yank the grips off. then get a pipe cutter or hack saw or something, take off however much you want, then put the grips back on.
