How do u ride, with poles or without ?

Personally i like to ride either way but apparently some people say riding without poles is like having gay oral sex and shit like that lool

I really dont find it that way tho, i think its pretty dope to ride without poles and giverr some steeze

One of my ski poles is on the verge of snapping so ill probs be riding "poleless" till i buy some cheap ones

Poles are for compensating for the lack of penis

Really? Is this going to be a topic of debate every +/- four years? Idea arguably started the debate last time, so what is the reason this time?

Almost 6 years.


My opinion, do what ever.

Poles for powder and big mountain, no poles for park.

Might as well be no poles. The amount of times that I have seen kids who have poles, but they are so short they don't even reach the ground when they have their arms at their sides, It's getting pretty ridiculous.

Poles, it's a balance thing for me. And when I see the no pole kids at my mountain try to ski with poles it's hilarious because they don't know how to.

Every now and then i throw my poles in the woods for a few runs to get some really nice grabs in, and it just feels super weird having no poles. Still, in videos it looks a lot more fun to go poleless.

Not so fun when traversing haha.

I went no poles for a while, but tricks with poles seem way more controlled. I much rather prefer poles, but riding with no poles helps make your tricks with poles so much smoother.

I think no poles looks really stupid, and really sketchy.

Depends on your style. I use poles for all mountain and powder but no poles in park. Some people look good witout them some look good with them. You just gotta find your own style
