Im not sure there are warranties on all poles, most likely only expensive ones. I broke mine, im not really sure what to do, ill just get another one i guess.

if you really care, bring em back to the place you bought em, talk to the shop worker and they should be able to hook you up with new ones if theyre still good on warrenty. but jsut buy stronger poles, mine are rossignol's and the shaft is shaped like an oval instead of just being round, so theyre alot stronger. before those i had triangle-ish shaped ones that were hella strong but then i grew out of em and had a hell of a time trying to break em on a tree

i broke my pole about a month ago. i've just been skiing with mis-matched poles, it doesn't matter. they're just poles.

about a week after i broke mine my friend did a three of only a 15' table, but when he land he planted his pole and his jaw ran into the top of it and it bent completely in half from the force of his head coming down directly on top of it. it was pretty strange to watch it, and it took 9 stiches to sew him back up.

cruz goes through 6 poles a week. he usually breaks about 2 on race day or on saturdays. he just gets new ones from the rental shop. hes a fuckin cracker. there supposed to be unbreakably but he finds ways.

I had a pair of near top-of the line Kermas (around $100) that lasted me for 5 years. Anyhow, they broke last week so I went to the rental shop. The guy working there laughed and told me to get a pair from the back. So I did. And now I have new poles.

me and my friend were skiing this spine, and he went off and landed on some snowboarder on the other side...(cause the spine was tall), and then he stabbed the snowboarder or accident and snapped his pole in half...it was great...

WHo cares about you breaking poles. IT happens to everybody and no one really cares.

if you can, get some poles from like, a long time ago, i'm talking 70's and 80's because those poles are indestructable, my friend has some and they havent' even bent, and my mom still has her poles from the 70's when she lived in aspen, still good

Quit bitching and buy some new ones. Poles break all the time.

NO SHIT quit being a fucking cheap ass. No company is going to warranty a pole. I break at least a pole every year if not more. Go scrap the change out of you couch and go get some new poles. They are like twenty bucks pair. I think you can handle it.

This year I hope to see more kids incorporating newschool with big mountain riding and getting out of the park.-Matt Levintal

usually getting a warranty or buying really nice poles isn't worth it. Just get a shitty pair for like 20 bucks, and use em til u fuck em up again. You can buy 5 crap pairs of poles and use em for more than 5 years instead of buying one really nice pair.
