They don't have to, the boards are firmly strapped to their feet.

But grasping the board is a trick in itself and can be used to pull the board at an angle to the body, adding a layer of difficulty to the jump.

Why do snowboarders use ski poles?

Snowboarders typically do not use ski poles, as they can hinder balance and movement on a board. However, some snowboarders, especially those who ride in backcountry areas or engage in freestyle riding, may use poles for added stability when traversing flat terrain or during tricks. Poles can also assist in pushing off when getting up after a fall or during uphill sections. Ultimately, their use is a personal preference and varies among riders.
