Are you sick and tired of people not knowing that you’re from Texas? Sure, your gapper gap, starter jacket and rear entry boots might get the point across, but to the untrained eye, that stuff can go right over people’s heads. Fear not, my longhorn friend, lucky for you there’s the Quick Pole System- a sure fire way to let everybody know that you hale from the lone star state. Unlike unconventional ski carry systems like the Texas Suitcase, the Quick Pole system combines style and unnecessary complication.
The system is really ingenious, like your boots, your poles can now clip into your skis! After you take off your skis simply get down on the ground, force your poles into your skis via the patented clips, stand up and carry your skis like they’re grocery bags. Finally, you can carry your equipment with a free hand to talk on your cell phone, throw a snowball, or just throw high fives to random strangers. No more sore shoulders or awkward fumbling around with scissored skis- the Quick Pole System makes the extremely difficult task of carrying your own equipment practically a no brainer. IT”S THE REVOLUTION!
THE REVOLUTION!!!!!
How many G.N.A.R. points are lost if you’re caught using such a device?
YEa
um, how many are gained you mean?
Imagine this: You just got to the bottom of a great run at your local ski hill. You turn your back to the lift queue to admire your line. In doing so, you allow Little Johnny or Big Jenny to creep up behind you unnoticed. You are broken from your moment when you hear “Y’all better come tell your Pa what you ‘ont to eat”. As you bend over to undo your binding straps, you hear a click, click and see between your legs the blur of a ski tip heading straight for you know what. As you raise your body to get your ass out of the way, the first ski just grazes the inner-portion of your cheeks and reminds you of an ex-lover. Wow, you just dodged a bullet. Letting your guard down and not knowing that Lil Johnny or Big Jenny are new to the REVOLUTION, you once again bend over to undo your bindings. This time motion becomes slow and you see clearly what is about to happen. Welcome to the Revolution!

One of the best things I’ve seen in a LONG time!!! Very creative and innovative; in fact, I’d go as far to agree–it’s revolutionary! Gotta get myself a pair of Quick Poles this season!
I don’t know. Looks like it will give me a free hand for my beer. About time someone thought of this.
What a great idea!! Ingenious to use the center of balance in the bindings… no more tips or tails sliding out of the pole straps.
Finally kids can carry there own skis!!
Finally an easier was of carrying skis gapers are never going to get a hold of.
Its called Flail for a reason. Though all of CO is being overrun by Texass wannabe extremo just out of college youngsters. They often choice Flail because that’s where mommy and daddy Texass took them on vacation.
