they are small so its harder to land on them therefore you dont have to replace them often
and small poles looks so much more styly then big huge poles

agreed, if and when i use poles in the park theyre extremely tiny, its just because most park skiers dont really carve or need them to get a good jump start for a jump etc. How ever when im out west and in the backcountry poles are pretty much mandatory for traversing  and what not

i thought the guy i saw looked redic. bending down so low to push himself foreword... i think normal sized poles look/do the job just fine lol. if your breaking poles a lot smoke up someone who works in a rental shop ;-)

I dont like really tall poles but mine are on the shorter size just because I like them that way.
