So I am about to get some line pin poles. I am 5'9 maybe grow to 5'10 by the season just wondering what height I should get. Like 38s or 40s. Last season I just got some really long 48s that got in the way in the park...just asking opinions
thanks

yeah but I'm giving those to my brother for next year so I gotta get new poles. I think it would mostly be a preference thing but i would just like a couple opinions.

in our o"pin"ion (hahahhahahhahahaa) get the bigger ones, they're aluminum so you can always cut down, but can never add more. thats for rocking Pointy Sticks with Grips!

Short poles are awesome for the park, mine are like 90 cm's that i cut down. But then when I wanna head out of the park I have to grab my 110cm poles so I don't have to bend over so much.

And the pointy sticks are awesome, my mate uses them at 100 and he's maybe 180 - 185 cm's (sorry don't know feet, aussie) and it's the only poles he uses, even when just cruising around/

Its a bit hard to get the grip off.  I work at a hill so i brought it in to the tech shop because i dont have to pay and he had to use a hammer to get it off.
