So I wandered down to my local skis shop looking for a SUB £50 pair of pole and they had these salomon brigade poles for £39.99, any one used them and what do you think, main thing i need to know is if they solid cause living in England I ride at freestyle club at my local dry slope weakly and they need to be able to withstand know with out bending.

I have the same poles in red and black and they are pretty good. The grip is really stiff at first but it works itself in  little

theyre solid poles, but if youre over 100 pounds and fall directly onto them then theyll break, like all poles.  id suggest just getting cheapo poles for 20$ or less

this. people go and buy 100$ scott poles b/c they look cool and honestly its impossible to make an unbreakable/unbendable pole. i just get joysticks at my local shop that are on sale for 20$ and they last at least two years. so ya just go buy them i guess. idk the conversions of USD to pounds so idk how much that is.
