I still dont understand how you lost those

we have a pair of the twistlock (not flicklock) 3-peice poles at the house. Not sure the brand. Maybe Atlas? They look like this:

They can be tricky to unlock sometimes, so Boardingfool bought the Carbon Fiber BD poles last year. I'm sure he'd let them go for cheap.

I've got to go up to Hakuba sometime before the season so I'll check them out. Cheap is good (even though the name 'Atlas' bugs me)

The twist locks can break easy. Rappie fixes them by putting a bd flick lock on them. Those flick locks are great back ups or broken ones are great for parts. If need be I can go to the house and snap a pic of the poles.

thanks but don't worry about it FT. Like I said, I'll be up that way before the season starts

You are still gonna need me to get into that house.

don't worry, I'll never stop needing you

Oh I know that. I have to go there this weekend so let me know.

JPY 5k says boardingfool.

Thanks for looking into it for me. but for that kind of money I'd rather just get the bd's
