x-metal pole conversion

[wnb800]

i like the wamiltons one better right now because of the price.. but its a shortened one and i dont wanna have my new pole setup so short that i need to bend over super far, and kill my back in the process. id imagine that i could just install my footholds further up but i rode kx454's ski and i think his total setup is like -5 so i think -3 would be good enough for me

At least go -2 with the pole. If you don't, you'll regret it later.
I would just call Pat and find out what he recommends. I am sure he has done a bunch of SXRs.

I keep breaking my UMI poles, so I think it is a good idea to go XMetal. :cool2:
