Honestly the sending me skis was a joke.......couldnt you tell by the tone of my voice? I only want them because I skied on them but cant buy them on pro form yet....
The channel will never make money though youtube, its impossible, the highest subs ski tech channels have about 30k subs which is basically nothing youd be making dozens of dollars a month with that..... I would be better awful if my goal was to make money doing an RC crawler channel, or a full scale crawler channel. The only way I for see youtube generating any meaning full income is getting to the point I can do patreon videos and charge a dollar a month to watch. again if the content is helpful to those people then its good. for all involved.
Posting here was more because I know a ton mags never use pole straps. I really did just want talk about pole strap useage, I am a giant ski nerd. Have you not seen my post on other technical stuff like the boot thread? While I plan to make a video on that stuff eventually I posted some info in this thread https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...-are-too-stiff just to provide a perspective as someone who does alignment diagnoses on the hill and mentors many instructor and non instructor on their equipment.
IMO no one would ever make money at any passion if their sole purpose was to make money. It has to have heart, soul and years of dedication to get to that level knowledge.

A slight nuance but hundreds of poles. Given the thread we're in.

Hey, this is a place to post my favorite pole story. I was skiing with a buddy in Tahoe one day during one of those Epic storm cycles. He plants his pole and loses his grip, and now it's buried. We spend fifteen minutes trying to find it and give up. Come back two runs later, and I almost ski over it! Isn't that cool?
So, I guess he should have had his straps on. I guess. But he has a fucked up shoulder from snagging one in an Alta chute. Who knows.

Oh, and one time I was skiing in SLC the same week that the BSA was in Park City. Hot, hot women walking around in tight fartbags. Well, somebody steals my poles! Damnit. Next day I look down from the lift and there's a black guy with, maybe, my poles! (Distinctive two day glo colored Scotts or something. Early 90s) Now, as a liberal kinda guy, boy, I was conflicted.

Strong pole work, no straps, this was filmed in Vermont I think.

I sat down in the lodge for a minute, and someone stole my breakfast meats.
Right out of my pocket!

That euro skier, never would cut it in the east. Poles too long, no straps, and double pole plants.

A ski instructor stole my poles once. I worked at the hill, had a good idea who it was. Called them out on it and got them back.
He didn't know how to use them anyways
The poles were K2 V8 Extremes, with a soft neon green grip. An instructor bought them for me after falling onto me in the lift line, breaking one of my other poles.

At the ski area I worked at every dirtbag had mismatched poles from the lost and found (myself included).

Last uber deep Tahoe day in February, ski partner augered into deep dense snow drift, did a slow twisting fall, and released from his binding. As he felt the binding release, he stabbed his pole next to his boot and let go (no straps in use). The ski was at least 4 feet under the snow but the pole handle (only thing showing) pinpointed the buried ski. A super clutch move.
