😂😂😂 skier here, however a few of my best friends are boarders. While we all have our differences. Its about getting out and having fun on the slopes. Boarders and skiers just need to know where to stop and relax without getting in the way of other riders. However, ive seen many more boarders laying down in terrible spots in my lifetime. They need to learn for f**** sake. I rammed a boarder last year at about 45+MPH because he was sitting in an blind spot downhill around a corner. Thats fairly typical for a boarder sadly.... he had to be stretchered down the mountain and everyone claimed he was at fault. No repercussions for me. Why do boarders do that dumb shart? They think they are king of the hill and that's the exact reason many slopes are skiers only. Granted there's exceptions for skiers dumb capabilities. Boarders just think they're king and everyone else needs to go around them. Not the case. Ill happily ram another one in a stupid spot, make them learn.
I prefer training and practice without poles. It will let you more focus on your leg and upper body balancing. With poles, I just always feel distracting for concentration if my "pole planting" right or wrong"
When i was 8 sports teacher helped me to learn how to ski without poles and i after 1h could easily turn and i was going much faster then my friends that were still sitting in kids hill.
Depends on the resort. If there are “hike to” steeps and chutes, ya gotta have poles to move around. So, you end up using them all day. If I’m strictly going skiing to practice park features, then I leave the poles.
same, riding with poles gives me that extra feeling of balance on rails or mid-air. There's a reason that, gymnastics got that huge large pole in their hands while beeing on a highline. Also poles help me to wind up the spin a bit better.
I ski and board and don’t use poles. I look at my friends who have only skied and they don’t use poles and rip. So I was like no poles. Now my daughter and wife are pole free too. You only need poles if you’re racing or Nordic skiing. Other than that they just get in the way.
I squeeze my poles pretty hard and I believe that makes my hands sweat more profusely! Either way is fun but I do enjoy having free hands! Depends on the type of skiing you wanna do
I don’t see the point in poles, all you’re doing whilst skiing is just holding them above the ground. They don’t help you turn and I feel like when you fall and your holding onto your poles, the poles dig into the ground it can twist your arm
I started out as a kid on ski boards so they’ve never felt quite right to me. Same thing with trekking poles while hiking, people think I’m crazy to go without but they’re just not my style.
I always ski with poles now but I had a couple seasons where I basically taught the whole year without them. I think if you're working on stuff in the park it's good to go sans poles to save your thumbs. But imo I think it looks better skiing with them. Just my opinion though.
Idk man, I´ve always went no-poles on skis. I kinda have a crippled arm, and skiing with one pole felt unnatural. I tried snowboarding, but it just didn´t feel right. Skiing with no poles is a pain in the ass in the lift lines, but otherwise it´s ok.
Well for me skiing evolved with poles in the mix so it is a part of skiing. And from a comp point of view it should not be allowed to drop the use of poles, simply because it makes tricks easier to do for those that don't use them, as yer man Dean explains here.
Just recently subscribe.I am an intermediate skier and planning to hit the park this coming season.Any advice for a beginner in the park?What should i do first and things to work out or practice?thanks
Make sure u know how to pop and start out on very small jumps. Make sure you get over the knuckle (flat part in between the take off and landing) also try some boxes small wide ones r best. Make sure you can ski switch (skiing backwards)
@@koolkid3908 There are plenty of reasons, they generally do still offer a lot of support because of their widened end piece, and in most situations the powder snow won't be so deep that your poles never reach condensed snowpack, and it helps with your posture going into your corners. Poles in general also have many other uses such as helping with traversing, checking snow depth before you make a descend, checking the snowpack itself to see how the balance is between condensed snow, fluff, and potential icy top layer. It is simply very rare that the snow is in a condition where poles don't serve a purpose, and when you're skiing proper backcountry, skiing posture is 10x more important than on groomed runs.
Poles are straight up just not necessary unless you're in the backcountry or racing, for park skiing its just a matter of style. In my opinion skiing looks neater without any foolish pole waving.
Poles are just big time more stylish. No poles has always been the way to learn new tricks. People skiing without poles nowadays look like they're still insecure on what they're doing. Obviously I know that's not the case but that's just the vibes it gives for me personally.
Any skier who says omg that persons uses no poles that’s so bad, you’re just a bad skier and you’re also arrogant and in stuck in tradition cause fact is people who ski without poles are very capable of skiing with them but people who ski with poles have an insanely harder time skiing without them, meaning you’re actually more talented and have more flexibility for stuff you can do if you can ski without them, it’s useful to have and learn and hey you might even just like it better like I did
Yeah I don’t ski anymore or snowboard because I just don’t see the point of it but I’ve always actually maybe I should try skiing again but then I have to be a beginner so that’s why I don’t do it in snowboarding it’s OK I sucked at it always so you know that’s why I just started snowmobiling and I just like go on and find a good metal and just rip in the meadow and maybe throw a good tree line if it’s an open tree line you know like if it’s kind of interesting I don’t like doing nothing technical I’m old and fuck and I amateur so he and I was like I don’t like getting to Technical but you know technical is kind of fun I bet I put myself in some technical situations on a snowmobile everybody’s in the skin very put yourself in a technical situation on the snowmobile as an amateur it’s kind of fun because it’s like what the fuck am I gonna do now
"Poles are good because all of this good reasons"
*This dude comes in and does the sickest trick*
Me: Yeah, I'll go no poles
No poles for me, they feel like an extra weight on my hands so I prefer no poles.
I love the guys falling in the background at 2:12
He just disappears
poles are for taking out snowboarders.....

@@jasonscott598 Nice essay
skiing is a lot easier than snowboarding i used to inline skate also it is easier than skateboarding

Ask your dude to wear helmet! Helmet or no helmet, that’s not a question. Always wear helmet
Nah im good
@@csgamer6973inb4 traumatic brain injury
The guy @ 2:12 did a slow mo fall, and then disappears LOL!
Regarding poles, I learned skiing with no poles but I don't care with or without.
why did that slow mo fall make me laugh? :'D It was kinda adorable

j'ai get un pop là du jump, merci pour le petit bout en français!
j'avais même pas capté que c'était du québecois ahah
À 2:08?
No poles.
I feel so off balance without poles

Andre they use those for balance tho are you holding your poles sideways?
Opposite for me because i do a lot of skateboarding and hockey wear ur empty handed or something very light
for me i like to ski without poles sometimes because sometimes i rely on them too much
I ski and board and don’t use poles. I look at my friends who have only skied and they don’t use poles and rip. So I was like no poles. Now my daughter and wife are pole free too. You only need poles if you’re racing or Nordic skiing. Other than that they just get in the way.
depends on the mood
Buttery steeze is hard to do with poles
I dropped my poles off the lift and had to ski down without them to grab them, after that I ditched them the rest of the day and haven’t turned back
Used poles my first time skiing, nearly impaled myself. Never used them since.
ayo unless u only do park then try poles again, they really helpful

Not sure if you are aware but as of last year FIS has madated that poles must be used in freestyle competition! Wether we all like it or not..
@@SkiAddiction damn that sucks but I guess it’s the only way to score people equally, I was just referring to standard skiing and not competition
I personally like to ski with poles because i feel much safer with them

What am I doing here I only do backcountry xD poles always a must there
Wait I always wondered why poles are so important in the back country or just thick powder, for pushing maybe?

I personally ski with no poles and when I teach skiing I teach with no poles.
How tall is Dean? And what size poles you use?
First backflip with or without poles?
yes!
David Polyakov that isnt Even an answer
I did it without poles and it wasn't a problem either with poles
I don't like doing flip with poles because I always have the fear to land sideway and hurting my ribs or something
I think poles are more stylish. I broke my thumb tho so I'm poleless for a little bit.
Next time I go skiing I am going to Skii with poles
Park riding with poles looks way cooler
