So tell me newschoolers, do you wear your pole straps when you ski park or do you just leave them dangling there?

yes I do, prevents me from having to climb up the hill to retrieve them and risk getting knocked out by gapers

That helps but most certainly does not prevent it

I always use them, If you do they're exactly like grab tabs but better.

i usually do but my new poles were fucked up during production and have one normal pole strap with an adjuster, and the other one is like a kids strap thats super tiny and doesnt have an adjuster. i have no clue why, but im gonna cut them off because wearing one strap would be annoying.
