well, im already on my second pair this season. so i was wondering if i suck at life, or it happens to alot of people. Im contemplating just going no poles when i ride the park. save me a little cash, then just whip them out for comps, and when riding the other parts of the hill.

lets see... right now i'm at about 0.2 poles a year.  i just got joysticks last year because i gave my $15 poles to a friend who needed some stuff.  I had my old poles for about 5 years.  some minor bends, but no breaks.

If its not a gaper sliding into me at a high rate of speed its me over clearing a jump for really messing up a rail, I break at least 1 pair of poles a season and that is with my high guard of caution always on to not break poles.

I've got a little indent that will soon turn into a bent pole from being stupid and having a samurai sword fight with my friend! haha but i go through about 1.5 pairs per season.

Save cash?? Pfffft... who buys nice poles? Everyone and his mom drops poles off the chairlift. Steal some of those or hit up your local Salvation Army. Mine were $5. Maybe.

I used to go through 4-5 sets of poles a year... fall on them.. bend them over a rail... bend them on a tree. Now I have composite poles and ive had them for a few seasons now.

ive had the same pair of cheap ass head poles for the past 3 seasons, ive bent them past 90 a couple times and just hit em over a pole to get them back to relatively normal. i dont give a shit tho as long as they have handles and are some somewhat pointy at the end. haha

Maybe if you guys got somehttp://www.sickstickz.com you wouldnt break poles all the time
seriously though these poles can withstand sooo much and are the lightest things i have touched since toilet paper

why don't you just buy a pair of poles instead of stealing pair after pair OR why don't you just cut them shorter instead of stealing them...
