Yeah man up and use poles. Strippers dance around poles, so who wouldn't want to wield one in each hand....

You do know that when you do that you type with the handle of the pole, not the tip of the pole right?

just get some nice small poles which dont get in your way. i find it easier to do a lot of tricks without poles, but i also find that i need poles to use in lift lines, to push off to get speed and if i am going really fast i like having poles.

solution: get poles that you really like and are an appropriate size according to your height and riding style.

Exactly. And seeing as this issue is old I thought I'd bring up an old argument to skiing without poles.

Probably your own preference. Sometimes it's nice not having poles. I usually rock poles but on the days that I'm going to session a rail in the park, I go without so I don't need to worry about them as I hike up the hill all day.

It depends how you feel that day, if you just think of messing around and not being so ''on the point'' then no poles etc.

skiing without poles doesn't really feel good, just different, fun to fuck around with.

getting a bj from a dude REALLY wouldn't feel good. but ud know right? to each their own i guess.
