skisocksThe grips should be through your legs with the points in front of you. Not just sticking your poles through your legs.

Well duh, I just want to see who does them which way and why

look, idk what its called when you put your poles(baskets first) between your legs...but im pretty sure its not a cossack.
also, your legs go forward, not just to the side. biggest mistake in cossackdom

a spread eagle with poles in your pooper =/= cossack.

shin-bangwhich way do you guys like better for cossacks?

sticking your poles deep inbetween your legs?

or putting them in your more out and upwards towards your armpits?

i personally like the poles inbetween my legs, it just adds a slightly larger steez factor.

Discuss...

share your opinions...

One of my (many) takeaways from this last week is that cossacks MUST be done with the pole handles in the crotch and the poles sticking out to the side. This looks MUCH better and helps you avoid the awkwardness associated with accidentally smacking yourself, tangling your poles or generally looking like a gaper. Until last Sunday I was a solid poles between the leg man, now I have been converted forever

These guys know whats up...why you'd do all the extraneous movements to get your poles between your legs, just to not be doin the trick anyway, blows my mind.

and again, spread eagle =/= Cossack, no matter where you shove your poles

The thread has been saved. Every post I read down the the post reply button, I lost faith in NS users for oldschool tricks. The cossack is a trick where you gotta be flexible as hell. If your crotch and inner thigh doesnt burn; you are not doing it right.

Might as well call the "wack off your pole in the air" move a real trick.

There's some sort of cultural difference here.... I've noticed this too, those who do them one way its the only way, those who do it the other same deal.

Did everyone around you do it that way (poles between the legs) and where did you grow up skiing?

I saw Sander Hadley do them that way (poles between legs). Also I remember seeing parker whites "triple" Cossack with his poles between legs. Probably my two biggest influences

Brassard – King of the Cossack.
Another option: Legs out as above. Stretch your arms out as to touch your ski boots - poles up/backwards.

Dude. You have been skiing for 3 years. Respect your elders!!

You've got Charles Gagnier, Eric Iberg and Doug Bishop all politely schooling you here.

As Iberg details above, you like the "cherry picker".
It is not a cossack. And opinion doesn't matter. It's like saying "I like to grab mute behind my boot instead of in front." It's not the same.
