No Poles is BALLER

[Karl]

Oh, make no mistakes about it -"they" are coming and they will come in droves. 3 maybe 4 years. Not tomorrow but come they will. Let me tell you how it will happen - someone that people listen to will write "these aren't your grandaddy's skiblades...". That will be it. All the actual skiblades will become landfill, everybody and their grandmother will make what we now call skiboards, resorts will load up on this "good for everyone from experts to kids" thing and overnight these will become "the good old days" . People like Greco and Mr. Singer will be heralded as stalwart visionaries and their respective accountants will make more than they do now.

Greco will be quoted in interviews how he ate ramen out of old Cool Whip bowls for a decade and jjue will become a cottage industry teaching bunches of old California ski hipsters how to break that pernicious "pole addiction".

Lots of good things will happen.

I will be the guy clapping very loudly.

Try not to screw it up.

That was very... James Earl Jonesy... I like it.

im sorry for starting this kind of drama...i was just stoked on No Poles style

[Kirk S]

nah I'm with ya Ty, I had to use them for a ski class and all I did was click them together.

even the ski instructors told us that they are basically usless for any moden skiing styles that they are teaching becasue of the parabolic skis.

I guess it gives you a good arm work out if you pushing around on the greens otherwise

no poles, no problems

Ty,

Hey, I didn't mean to come across like a drama queen. In rereading my post I can see where it could have come across that way but I was just throwing in. I think what you posted is prologue not drama.

So have we devolved into gorilla-stance knuckle-draggers? Or is this progress? lulz.
(Where's Joey and his evolution thread when I need him? haha)

[mahatma]

The gorilla stance is gorgeous - even if you are posing. Knuckle dragging is earned. If you force knuckle dragging, like barely dragging or if you over drag like knuckle drag over and over and over without adding anything else it starts to look tired. Now, if a knuckle drag turns into a forearm drag which turns into laying your arm out to make room for your hip - that's hot.

I just envisioned Mrs. Mahatma throwing over a gorilla into hip drag. I need a minute alone. I'll be back.

You never cease to amaze me.

You never cease to amaze me.

He is quite something, isn't he?

[Manlenium]

Ugh.... I want snow. All this talk about having fun is bumming me out.

Only a summer to go.
