i got some scott riots for $20 off evo gear, already bent and dented them. do i feel bad? no. they were $20. i don't see how people can ride expensive poles, i can't lay down $100 everytime i fuck up my sticks. and they look sick too.

if you care about cheap ones just find some old ones laying around and paint them, worked well for me.  just searchbar and i bet you could find a thread about painting poles, different colored electrical can work well too.

get scott world cup SL poles. ya there 100 bucks, but they are meant to bash gates at 50 mph and are the strongest poles ive ever had. 4 years of 85+ day seasons on them and they are still perfect

I snapped one of my salmon patrols, and I was very sad. Managed to rock the no pole steeze for the rest of the day with both the good pole and the snapped one in my pack...

managed to borrow one from the local rental for free and the guy let me keep em! so now i have really beat up adjustable bad boys! try and nick a pair so you can rock the mini crunk sticks and ski pow properly!

I get my poles for $1 at the thrift store and cut them down to the right size, and sand them and paint them however I want them. If I screw them up, all it takes is another trip to the thrift store with a dollar. I will probably never buy actual poles like Line or Joystick again. $1 is unbeatable for custom poles.

I'm all about Joystick.  I've got old and new Spicolli's and I love them.  Nothing special or fancy, but they do the job and have held up well.

i got my joysticks and my worst fear happened, they got bent and dented, they are still sick poles and i bent them back into the original shape, its just annoying and makes the durability a question

I have K2 6speeds  I like long poles (no homo).  and theyve been indestructible every pair of metal poles ive had ive destroyed so I went with carbon.  And they were FREE cause my shop was very giving that day. I would never buy those things i think there like $140

Scott Poles made with Series 4 Aluminum. 

Last year I had them resting on my hips and some snowboarder accidentally rode about halfway up them.  There was no damage.

bought these for 5 bucks at a ski swap swapped grips with my other poles and cut the baskets an inch smaller all around(they used to be the size of dinner plates). i think they look pretty sick
