This. People who say poles are obsolete should learn how to ski.

I had to ski pow last week with no poles because broken wrist. My balance was completely off and its real difficult to do short turns round trees, rocks etc.

Have fun looking this this: Click for larger image

^in the park it makes no difference though. Any argument over that is lunacy.

Yeah, i kinda agree.

I think poles in the park mask the flailing of the arms that is seen so often with people that dont use poles. However, once you get to a certain stage and your balance and air awareness is good then i agree, there is no difference. IMO, there are still only a select few that can pull this off.

I stopped using poles this year and I think my arms flailed more with poles, maybe it's just me, but I find it easier to keep my hands at my sides

Fuck all of you, no poles is fun. I feel like my hands aren't out of control either way. Holding long sticks in your hands while flipping and spinning is really counter intuitive. Not saying i don't ever use poles, but i feel really limited and annoyed with poles.

and people saying "i don't flail with poles"... You're the same person with or without poles, you either flail or you don't

You just make yourself seem stupid when you say shit like that. Skiing trees or steeps without poles is aids.

Skiing is just as "white" as scootering...

maybe if you learned how to use poles, you could ski pow better.

not just for balance, but timing and control as well. not even just in pow, but just skiing in general.

Haha that was retarded. Scooters are to bikes what snow blades are to skis, but so much worse.

Why the hate? They're just like us, doing what they love and having fun. Some of that stuff was pretty sweet too, regardless of them being on scooters. People probably think the same about us when they see our edits

All you guys defending the scooter kids are scooter kids. Even skaters think scootering is stupid. It's just silly looking. Especially when they try to look thug.

I see more and more kids on scooters at the skatepark I usually go to. Not gonna lie there's a few kids who can throw the fuck down on them and actually impress me. However there's way too many 5-10 year olds in may way for me to truly respect scootering. Maybe in a few years.

With this logic, you should absolutely hate skiing.

There's a good amount of groms where I ski that throw the fuck down, and understand park etiquette thanks to NYSEF. But a Skatepark is way smaller, and when there's already 20-30 kids there, other people get in your way enough.
