I think it's a comin

Holy Shit..those are clown poles..I'm 5'11 and 50 inchers are my ideal pole length..How do you manage on flats???

Flats? Why in God's name would I want to ski those...?

Anytime you want to go head to head in a bump run let me know. We'll see who the clown is then. :lol:

I think I'd have you beat in speed in the bumps..but in terms of form..that's all you ski..I'd be so screwed..

Anybody ski with adjustable poles so they can plant their poles on bumps but still use the poles on groomers and flat traverses???

Form = speed in the bumps.

not when you straight line..:-D

I'm a 50 inch pole based on turning it around and gripping it below the basket and it being at a right angle..

longer poles rock FTW..I one day want to try out some 52 inches..mad steezy yo

Riiiight... :roll:

GCS "You use clown poles, ha ha hahaha"
Greg "Nobody calls my poles clown poles"
GCS "O yeah, want to do something about it"
Greg "Be at Sundown at sundown for a bump contest mano on mano"
GCS "I'll be there and straight line them, I got the speed"
Greg "Yeah right, You're a tool"
GCS "Am not you are"

I had the Monday morning blues before I read that which pole thread, now I'm happyly ready to take on the day. We need more GCS not less. Entertainment value baby.

Bring it! :lol: I don't claim to be some great bump skier, but I'd bet money I could take GSS. :lol:

He is entertaining. The funniest part is he doesn't even realize we're not laughing with him... ;)

Short poles rule. I'm 5'7" and packing 42". :-o :lol: Seriously, they def help in getting me out of the back seat in the bumps AND on steeper stuff. I have a nice pair of adjustables but I'm afraid they will walk with some unscrupulous snow-lover.
