FIS are going to ban poles from their comps next season, becase the sport should have more similar rules with the snowboarders. So i guess this is a result of us joining the olympics and i mean it`s against the spirit of our sport, freeskiing.

reasons why we cant let a associations regulate anything, you add rules to something and all of the sudden every person has to do the exact same thing in a different way.
