Why arent Releasable poles straps the standard?

[Bushwacka]

Because thats your specialty, backing out of payments after skis already get shipped to you. Only to pay 11 years later?
We are sorry you lost your job for sexually harassing girls you worked with, but you need to pay your debts here.

Dude what ? your now posting entirely baseless shit.

You have now treaded into literally illegality of slander.

TGR once served will have to give up your IP.

Be sure to request a rental car upgrade and pre pay for gas.

I'll also PM my Hertz Gold Rewards Card if we need to drive ourselves.

Rudy Giuliani has entered the chat lol

Does he get the previously promised $20 if he dolphin turns down the 45 deg chute? Or is that a separate promotion?

This thread is fucking gold, btw. Thanks, bushy.

You seem serious, sport. That’s weird.

I’m in Michigan, far enough away that a trip to VT is an all day adventure. It’ll take 3 days minimum to get out there and back. To be clear, I haven’t expressed an interest in your chute, and I’m not interested in some uncomfortable ski off. I’m not sure three days to ski some chute in VT plus $1k is worth the vacation time I’d have to burn to do it. But I’m listening. Where would I be staying in this adventure?

Pseudonym I think you read that wrong...

So first as far as I know Bandit Man is the only person ever to send me out a pair of ski on partial payment. Yes I did not pay him the last 50 bucks and legit had no money.
I had turned in my Manager of Banquets at Snowbird for sexual harassment against a young female coworker, I didnt know the HR director at the time was his fucking Wife! I lost my bar tending job, my ski instructor job and was in place where I had almost no support network. As most skibum do I was living very paycheck to paycheck and lost my ability to pay rent. I got blackballed from working anyplace in Utah, and quite frankly most places in the country. doing the one thing beside Engineering I am good which is ski teaching. I literally forgotten about this a long time ago this was spring of 2009....11 years ago.

I came to post a couple reasons why straps are good but I feel like I just went to get drinks at a bar and when I came back everyone is arguing.

To be fair to the guy who’s paying me to go to VT to ski, that’s a pretty serious misreading. Like, epic apology level.

In this epic thread.

Could be endlessly tedious or over the top or an elaborate story or talked about for millennia. But warranted.

Putting aside the lulz of that 45 degree Vermont gnar, internet ski offs, etc.

Do you jongs not actually know how to use pole straps? Most people don't. They don't really go around your wrists... they go over your four fingers and then against the inside of your palm as you hold the pole. So it's easy to let them go if needed but also easier to hang on to them.

One of the stranger pairs of posts I have seen here.

Most of the time I don't use them at all except when xc skiing, but when I do use them, this ^^^^

. I’m still debating about a lycra suit.

I just threw up in my mouth ^^

[stealurface831]

hey, aren't you the guy that shorted the guy $50 on a pair of skis or something like that?

[Dee Hubbs]

as for the 45 degrees is actualy pretty fucking steep

Is that because you understand the metric system?

Don’t bring Bunny into this thread, you know he has a google alert set for his name on TGR.

Do you know why they call it a Royale with cheese?

Dude, I want releasable pole grips so I can McGyver myself out of avalanche burials (just need to fold up some parachutes).

[Conundrum]

Do they speak English in what? This thread is fantastic.

Whole hand up through the strap and down onto the grip. It’s easier to grab the pole in a race if you lose it for whatever reason. Have to finish course with all gear for time to count.

Am I making that up? Maybe. Maybe not.

Not a lot of other reasons to “strap up” if weighing risk and reward. I do like having straps on my BC poles for a lot of reasons but I don’t wear them when skiing. Regular poles, straps or no straps, you’re riding a chair to ski so who cares? Whether you use them and on what day is a very personal decision.

I guess we’ve reached peak gear talk or jongs have learned to use the search function and it’s already been covered if this is the late February banter we’re seeing. Congratulations to you all mags. We’ve done it. This Buds for you.

I have enjoyed my time here.

You mean a "sleeve" of beer, not a "pint? Thats a British Columbia thing.
Had a pint of beer at your local pub lately? Not likely, and certainly not legally.
It turns out the pint does not technically exist in British Columbia, due to a strange and disparate brew of federal and provincial regulations.
The federal government insists that anyone who claims to be selling a pint in Canada had better pour a full Imperial pint measuring 20 ounces, or 568.26 millilitres.
The province’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch, however, stipulates that individual servings of draft beer cannot exceed 500 millilitres or 17.5 ounces — effectively legislating a legal pint out of existence in British Columbia.
