I have a pair of line poles (http://www.evo.com/ski-poles/line-skis-tac-2013.aspx?esvaid=30559&esvt=336547-GOUSE341319162&esvadt=9-6095662-4062919-1#utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=shoppingengine&utm_campaign=googleshopping_pla_paid) and i was wondering if I could cut them down and take the grips off so i can properly shorten them

Put them in boiling water and then they will slide right off, then use a pipe cutter or anything that can cut metal tube.

^its tough to do that with those grips, its a foam and I'm pretty sure its glued on. Not just a friction fit.

I'm pretty sure most line pea actually attach the grip with a grub screw. See if you can see a screw at the top and biotin o the grip. If you undo those you should be able to just slide the grip off a d shorten the pole as much as you like.

That is how te old line pea were but they may have changed, but check that first.

Threads. I have rasta pins and they're a bit too long for my taste, haven't seriously attempted to cut them down but if an easy method were revealed i might try

Not to assert my nerdyness but... you cant "get" epilepsy from a flashing light source.  If you were previously diagnosed with the condition, you would be susceptible to epileptic seizures, but otherwise, the source (the icon in this instance) would have no effect to that nature on you.  Just saying.
