yeah I have a feeling joystick is going to do pretty shitty...100cad for poles and plus I thought they were supposed to be this sick creative design??? All it is is a checkboard...a 3 year old could have designed these poles.

I dunno I'm all about supporting the 'newschool/freeski' movement but I'm not about ruining myself for poles. I work hard to pay my stuff and 100 bucks is too expensive for me and I'm sure for a lot of kids too. My 2 cents.

they match my checkerboard slipons.

but reguardless it was a let-down for the wait. $60 for poles is the worst deal.

i like them, but i was expecting something more creative than a checkerboard pattern. i would not pay that much for something i could do with two dollar poles from a thrift store, some tape, and some spray paint.

but i have to say, that hoodie is beautiful. 55usd is stretching it, though.

Also, Abma is now on the team. Support Anthony B and company, and buy Joystick. The poles look sick... as do the softgoods. That hoody is awesome.

I love how people well shell out hundreds of dollars for Siver crap with no waterproofing just because it has a logo on it, but when something like this comes along which is by all accounts a quality product from a company that's made up solely of riders... they bitch about the price? ...What?

I mean, I realize poles aren't the most important part of your setup, but like that guy above said... rather give them a hundred bucks than pay Salo or Rossi, or even Goode.

^ He makes an EXTREMELY valid point. The siver outerwear has crappy waterproofing..and its sad to see things like that. Ask for some joysticks for xmas..let santa buy them for you. Thats my plan of attack.

would you rather buy poles for the same price that Say 'Rossignal' on it. And are plain black. Shit, that has to be the most creative Pole yet (plus is white wich is totally sick) and everyone has to go diss it. The cheapest pole I've seen is $30 and prolly have the quality.

Support the shit that supports YOU.

first off i would never spend 60 bucks for poles from ANY company newschool specific i'll spend maybe 10 bucks or pick up the old rental poles i find in parking lots. props for trying something new but like someone said checker-board? i could do that with masking tape and spray paint for christ sake. also i think its lame that they have more shirts and hoodies to sell than over priced ski poles! and if your gonna launch a new company have something that looks better (cuz looks are all that matter with poles) than whatever the fuck they are selling. and i felt bad that anthony sounded pissed that people were already saying his comapny was bullshit before the site launched but guess what bro they were RIGHT! this actually pisses me off I don't see how this is supporting the industry at all. people say support those that support you well no one seems to be supporting me the poor college kid who loves to ski. so i'm not supporting some poles that cost more than i will spend in a month on FOOD!

'no one seems to be supporting me the poor college kid who loves to ski'

1)Welcome to fucking life. Everybody and their brother is a poor college kid who loves to ski. Including me. Anthony's by far not the richest pro skier out there. And to boot, he goes to university too.

2)I don't see you starting a pole company.

3)What have you done to contribute to skiing or the ski industry lately?

im sorry, i break poles far too often to pay $60US for them. if they were graphite, maybe. They are heavier, but they dont't break. I just can't afford paying that much money for something that for all intents and purposes is the same as any other pole.

it'd be nice to support the industry obviously, but they just seem too much in this instance.

I think people need to stop jumping on the fucking attack and let a company sort of develop before you judge it. As far as the new pole goes I think the checkerboard design is sick, maybe should have had more than one design though. I think I'm gonna wait this one out and see what truly sick shit Anthony and company can put out before I search for 60 dollars.



and more, much more than this, I did it my way

Oh, just by the design of the site you can tell that they're going to put out some really creative pole designs. Much love goes out to Joystick and I hope that they perservier(sp) throught the trash talking that is scattered through NS.com.

i spent that much on my Rossignol Poles, maybe a little less. and theyre strong poles, the type of aluminum that they use is the strongest type they can get. its the same stuff that Scott uses, and their poles are awesome, strong and not too heavy. i thought the graphics were cool, since i just bought poles, i wont be gettin em anytime soon, but after i break the ones i'm using now, i'll seriously look into getting joystick

in response to trevorwoulddit's comment of what have I contributed to the freesking industry: MY FUCKING MONEY! skis, bindings, jackets, pants, boots, socks, poles (cheap ones), clothing, hats, lift tickets season passes! subscribe to ski magazines. if you don't call this support I don't know what is. so it'd be nice to see a company say hey we know people are gonna break poles a lot and scrap the crap outta them so you know what lets make the affordable so they will replace them when they break instead of picking them outta dumpsters

The ski industry is big and gay as a whole. I meant what have you contributed to further our beloved pastime of newschool skiing. I can sure has hell say with confidence that Anthony's done lots.

As for the price. Do you think he intentionally inflates it? I would wager almost anything that he made them as cheap as possible. Pulling this shit off cheap is a little tougher if you're not a multi-national conglomerate.
