@MikeMikeBMX how are you gonna ski backwards with poles that long. Poles are pointless anyways Mins are like three feet long and what do you need them for anyways…nothing. Definatly dont wanna be spinning through the air with huge daggers.
@MikeMikeBMX Thank you! Great advice.
@ruskishooric
Bend your arms at a 90 degree angle relaxed at your sides. Use the poles that touch the ground at that angle.
ruskishooric,
To find a good pole length, bend your arms at a 90 degree angle relaxed at your sides. The poles that just touch the ground at that height should be the best of the poles you have.
this could help me tommaro.
You shouldn’t read the following!!! Copy and paste this to ten videos in the next 4 hours or your mum will die
That place looks crap
Norwegians are born with ski poles
He should explain how long the ski pole has to be. I have a few ski poles, but I don’t know whether to choose a short one, long one, or medium sized. I’m 5’10″. Reply if anyone knows please.
nice explanation on how to use pole straps.
nice explanation for how to use pole straps…
how can you hurt your self from the strap on the pole
@that1account yeah meadows is the bomb! they get the best snow and the best trails
Thank you for VDO, That good help for us. We just starting.
Hope you don’t mind i link VDO to my friend ^^
Go mt hood meadows!!!! Love it! I’m 1 1/2 hours away it’s awesome
no the primary use is to plant them before your turn you dickhead
I”m sorry, but if you don’t know how to put you hand through a strap you must need some help
I didn’t know there was a way to injure yourself by putting your hand through a strap. LOL
@jessejerret You’re 7 years old and you have a youtube account?
Wow, be careful.. The internet is dangerous.
He’s putting the straps on wrong.. You’re not supposed to put it over your thumb so it goes around your wrist. You put the strap around your four fingers, not around your thumb, and you twist it around once or twice and grip the ski.
his poles r way to short!!!! ur arm should be level when they are touching the ground.
@mopotofo your dumb
