My fail story starts in my basement after a nice thanksgiving dinner.

ok so since it thanks giving and i was in a creative move for some reason with my cousin. I was in my basement and found some old poles. I then got the idea to make some nice park poles or short poles.
At first i just wanted to cut this much of the poles.

and i did do that ... the only promblem was i did it TWICE to the same pole so i ended off cutting double what i wanted so this happened

now i have a two poles that are this height ( this is comparison to poles that are proper height )

but hey at least i put a gnarly graphic on them with the only color spray paint i have besides black

So guys let this be a lesson to you all ... MAKE SURE U DONT CUT DOWN THE SAME POLE TWICE


Happy ThanksGiving NS and i hope u all get a nice laugh from my stupid mistake

Poles are no longer meant to stick in the snow when you turn. They're meant for pushing and for having in your hands so you don't look awkward on stuff if you don't know where to put your hands

well when they become so short that you have to bend over super far to get them in the snow to push forward then it looks ridiculous. but i guess thats why they invented skating.

My poles are the length of your double cut one. It works fine. Just double cut the other one and rep em that short.
