Something about the ski poles just makes it look......... 'out of place' i guess are the words for it. Can't wait to see someone getting a huge barrel at pipeline or similar on skiis, not that it really takes much skill to be towed in, but the wipeouts would be good to watch.
Neat video - thanks for sharing.
I must agree those ski poles just look wrong! [}:)]
The real surprise for me is that people haven't started doing that earlier.
Just like with downhill skiing, skis are much more suitable than a board for this kind of high speed riding. The fact that your legs aren't tied together allows for better balance and more flexibility to throw your body into different positions. Edging in turns is more extreme as well.
But when making things easier, you also take away the challenge l I guess.
Although riding Jaws in any form undoubtedly poses a great challenge.
