A vision for the future.
Designed and tested in the heart of Utah's Wasatch Mountains, Soul Poles' Original Soul Pole is a testament to the unrelenting strength, lightweight performance, and sustainability of bamboo ski poles. In fact, these beautiful bamboo poles are a claimed 25% stronger than traditional aluminum poles.
Nearly every aspect of these poles reduces the ecological footprint of manufacturing, from the beautiful aesthetic and robust performance of unfinished bamboo shafts, to the ergonomically designed recycled rubber grips, PET plastic yarns used in the wrist straps, and recycled plastic all-mountain baskets. Throw in rugged steel tips for stability and grip in widely variable winter conditions, as well as the laser-etched Soul Pole logo for head-turning appeal.

Awesome poles right here
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
One day I ended up on the lift with the owner of this company and he told me the story of how these poles got started. He was a very nice genuine guy and you could tell his passion for skiing was through the roof. I then went ahead and got a pair for myself. I definitely have taken my fair share of pretty hard crashes and have never broken one of these poles. Another aspect that I think is very cool is how environmentally friendly these poles are. Definitely would recommend these to anyone who is thinking about purchasing new poles.
Simple, Stylish
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've just finished my 3rd season with my Original Souls. They are good looking poles that always draw comments and compliments. Mine have some old cracks and seams in them, but they don't seem to be falling apart. It looks more like real wood getting honestly weathered. They have been nothing but sturdy and reliable whether touring or zipping around the resorts. They are a bit heavier than a high end aluminum pole, but it's hardly an issue. Support a local, made-in-USA brand and scoop up some Soul Poles.
Cracked Bamboo
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
These poles are known to crack - check out the warranty:
"Minor cracking is equivalent to a slight bend in an aluminum pole - Wrapping duck tape around the ends of a running crack can prevent further cracking."
Duck Tape!!!
If you try to return them at their shop in Park City you may get a chance to meet owner Bryon Friedman and the first thing you'll probably learn (from him) is that he once raced world cup, then you'll probably learn they won't fix the poles. Good luck, but remember...you can't buy cool...just look who paid $150 for bamboo on your hill.
Look good feel good wheel good
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Killer boo poles, Look like a boss and perform even better. These poles are badass. Taken some hard spills and these things have never broke on me, they have tons of flex and are a lot more solid then aluminum or fiberglass.
Stellar Bamboo
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
After only one season with these bad larry's in my hands, I must say that I have been thoroughly impressed. Quality construction + perfect swing weight + tough as nails + environmentally friendly + totally customizable + damn cool looking = a no brainer... get your paws on a pair of Soul Poles!
My Favorite Poles
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are my favorite poles. Not only do they look good, but they have stayed strong through all my traveling, skiing, and hitchhiking. Soul Poles is also working to spread awareness and influence climate change. With their use of renewable bamboo, recycled plastics, and post-consumer alloys, they are breaking the trend of the mass-producing, soul-less, globalization of materialism. Instead, with Soul Poles, you know the source of every piece that YOU get to put together to make your poles individual. Giving them soul.
High Quality Shafts
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Have had these poles for several years and they've been through almost everything, from whacking trees to taking a few really good diggers and have come through it all with not a blemish in them.
Being completely eco-friendly these poles make you feel good about your purchase all while you get looks from those who are envying how good your shafts look.
All Around Awesome
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I am absolutely in love with Soul Poles! They are incredibly durable, and never get bent and dinged like those pesky aluminum poles. The fact that they are Eco friendly, is a huge added bonus, as you can get the best pole on the market and feel good about doing something for the environment at the same time. 11/10.
Plant Your Soul
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Soul Poles are by far the best ski poles I've used. They are incredibly durable. Much more so then aluminum. They are also eco-friendly, made from very fast growing natural resource, bamboo. Along with recycled rubber and plastic. Soul Poles supports the local community by providing local employment. They are also great conversation starters on the chair lift.
These poles will never let me down!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If you are looking for a stylish, customizable, durable ski pole then these are for you. Not only will these poles never let you down, you are supporting an American company that is protecting the environment. These poles can hold 309 psi. when aluminum poles can only hold 115. You will never need to buy another pair of poles again. I am a competitive big mountain skier and I can always trust these poles while in the start gate.
-Turner Petersen
Last Pair of Poles You Will Ever Buy!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Soul Poles are indestructible. They are the only piece of gear that have withstood the past three years of competitive big mountain skiing. Whether you are tomahawking down a face or ripping the bunny hill, do yourself a favor and give yourself one less thing to worry about.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Planting my Soul every turn wouldn't be possible without my trusty Soul Poles! Over the past 3 years I have put my soul poles through just about everything possible. Whether it may be a conversation starter with the cute girl on the chair, pushing up that last step to summit the peak, or finally getting that "soul selfie" shot you have been wanting to get, my soul poles have always been there to get the job done! Trust me, these things are RAD!! It will be the last and only pair of poles you will ever want!
Awesome shot Jack!

Soul Poles in Haines, Alaska
This is a picture taken by pro skier and guide Reggie Crist in Haines, Alaska. After a handful of down days we finally saw blue skies and b-lined it for this zone called Caffeine ridge. Pro skiers Todd Ligare and Tanner Hall opened up the zone earlier in the morning and we cleaned up the "scraps."

A note from the Founder of Soul Poles
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Hey all!
Obviously this review is going to be biased but I wanted to share my thoughts on the Original Soul. I've been using my Original Soul Poles for over 2 years and they are still going strong! I use them for all conditions whether it's cruising groomers, touring the Wasatch backcounry, or dropping big lines in Haines, Alaska. My poles have never let me down and I've taken a few big crashes over the years.
The biggest question we get is how strong is bamboo vs. other poles? We finally put it to the test last year through a 3rd party lab in Salt Lake City. The lab tested the strength of our bamboo vs. a variety of aluminum poles and the results were favorable. Our bamboo held an average of 300 + lbs of pressure vs. aluminum which failed at 150 lbs.. Needless to say we were stoked with the results and if you want to check it out we uploaded a short 15 sec. video from the test below.
The next question we get a lot is do we guarantee our poles? The answer is yes, we guarantee the Original Soul for 2 years. If you break it, we'll replace the bamboo shaft and re-use the original parts. All you have to do is ship them back to Soul Poles headquarters in Park City, UT and we will replace them within 2 years of the date of purchase.
All of our poles are handmade in Park City, Utah by us. We make most of our parts in or near Salt Lake City and North Carolina. Last the bamboo is hand picked for it's strength and durability by a small family farm in China we have developed a relationship with. They are absolutely amazing and understand the importance of the quality we need to hold up in the most extreme winter conditions.
Our goal is to provide quality products that inspire momentous living and the protection of the playgrounds we love!
Hope this helps!
Bryon Friedman

The tip looks flat and smooth in the photos. Can anybody relate personal experiences with the pole on icy surfaces? I am concerned it will simply skip off instead of bite.

Considering how over-the-top this series is, I'm actually hoping that one of Toriko's final battles in the GW is against a planet-sized monster. Basically, it would be a lot like that first boss battle from the upcoming Asura's Wrath (well, maybe Toriko won't grow extra arms, but there most definitely will be lots of screaming!).

So the translated chap's out. Man, that Komatsu and his food luck! Still, I do kinda like the idea that monsters like Toriko and Sani would pretty much have have been trolled by the death falls if they had tried to capture the fish themselves after all the trouble they went through to reach the cave in the first place.
Oh, and about the poll: Yeah, I think I agree with Sani about how strange it is that the random IGO dude who seldom appears in the series still managed to get a spot in the top 10 (I do like his design and all, but.... eh). It would've preferred to see someone like Jirou or Mansam (or Zonge) take 8th place, but that's just me..... |

My issue with the power aura kill fish thing is that toriko already learned how to cloak his presence/aura in the puffy fish arc when he copied it from coco... so i don't really see why it wouldn't apply here.

Hmmm, that's an interesting point. I can only assume that means the shining fish has more highly-developed senses than most human world creatures, which is why monsters like Toriko or even legends like Setsuno would be unable to catch it, or something.....

Well, when someone of Setsuno caliber who rules even in the Gourmet World cannot catch something in the human world, it's kinda weird no matter how you look at it. I will take this as only the one with the right luck can catch the fish, and skip the "logical" explanation part.

Although I would argue that logically a creature without predators or worry should be even less sensitive to threatening presences than elsewhere. |

^Well, that crocodile was kind of a different story since he was an apex predator (which was pretty much the complete opposite of the fish, technically).....
Anyways, there's a theory I've been meaning to bring up for a while, now: Now that Sani has his new snake partner, that means that three of the four kings have their own animal partner (Toriko with Terry, and Coco with the crow). So..... what about Zebra? He may prefer to be a lone wolf, but if he's going to create his full course in order to obtain Komatsu, then flying solo definitely won't be the best method of gathering ingredients..... And now my main point: Recall that a young Nitro was being held at Honey Prison. Zebra obviously has a profound interest in the creatures since he was rather unwilling to give up the one he and Toriko took down in the Gourmet Pyramid to the IGO. Now what if he decides to return to the prison and somehow manages to recruit one of those cocky creatures as his partner....? |

I'm thinking Zebra's pet could be a bat or something similar given his sound abilities.
The others all have something that have connection to their abilities The wolf: battle lust and strength The snake: long and "thin" + super sensory abilities (the tongue) The crow: Erm, bad omens? |

I know I've blabbed about this routine on just about every corner of the internet, but its that good. The 3 days a week has been a great change for me. 50+ hours of work a week and being a full time student in computer science don't leave a whole lot of time for sleep. This routine is getting me stronger, letting me rest enough, and keeping me wanting more.
Once things settle down, I may move to a 4 day a week plan with practically the same setup, maybe over christmas break or something. Hoping to have more of my equipment built by then, and an all out strongman saturday every week might be just the thing to keep me from losing my mind during the weeks without having to scramble to complete projects for multiple masters.

Dayton Children's and Safe Kids Greater Dayton offer bike safety tips to celebrate May's National Bike Month
05-01-2009 (Dayton, OH) -
Spring has arrived and families are gearing up to enjoy the outdoors on their bikes. While inflating the tires and checking the brakes are important - a helmet is essential. Dayton Children's and Safe Kids Greater Dayton urge parents, caregivers, and children to use their helmet each time they ride their bike - no matter how long or short the distance traveled.
Each year, approximately 135 children die from bicycle-related injuries and more than 267,000 nonfatal bicycle injuries occur.
Helmets can reduce the risk of severe brain injuries by 88 percent; however, only 15 to 25 percent of children 14 and under usually wear a bicycle helmet. In Dayton, children under age 13 are required by law to wear a helmet at all times while riding a bicycle.
"A bike helmet is essential safety gear," says Jessica Saunders, injury prevention coordinator at Dayton Children's and Safe Kids Greater Dayton coordinator. "Helmets could prevent an estimated 75 percent of fatal head injuries and up to 45,000 head injuries to children who ride bikes each year."
Sometimes children mistakenly believe that they don't need to wear helmets when they're riding near home. Unfortunately, about 53 percent of vehicle-related bike deaths to children happen on minor roads and residential streets.
"Teach kids to obey traffic signs and the rules of the road. Kids should not ride without supervision until they have demonstrated that they always follow the rules," says Saunders.
A helmet should also be labeled to indicate that it meets the standards set by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. "As long as it's certified, let kids pick out their own helmets" Saunders says. "If they think a helmet looks cool, they'll be more likely to wear it when you're not around."
Dayton Children's and Safe Kids Greater Dayton remind parents and caregivers to remember these five things:
- Make sure the helmet fits and your kids know how to put it on correctly. A helmet should sit on top of the head in a level position, and should not rock forward and backward or side to side. The helmet straps must always be buckled, but not too tightly.
Safe Kids recommends the "Eyes, Ears and Mouth" test:- EYES: Position the helmet on your head. Look up and you should see the bottom rim of the helmet. The rim should be one to two finger-widths above the eyebrows.
- EARS: Make sure the straps of the helmet form a "V" under your ears when buckled. The strap should be snug but comfortable.
- MOUTH: Open your mouth as wide as you can. Do you feel the helmet hug your head? If not, tighten those straps and make sure the buckle is flat against your skin.
- Make sure the bike is the right size for the child. There should be about 1-inch of clearance between the bike frame and the child's groin when the child's feet are flat on the ground. Also, make sure the bike is in good repair reflectors are secure, brakes work properly, gears shift smoothly, and tires are tightly secured and properly inflated.
- Remember, bike helmets are for biking. Kids should not wear bike helmets on the playground (where the straps can get caught on equipment and cause injury) or for activities that require specialized helmets (such as skiing or football).
- Model and teach proper bicyclist behavior. Ride on the right side of the road, with traffic, not against it. Stay as far to the right as possible. Use appropriate hand signals and respect traffic signals, stopping at all stop signs and stop lights.
- When in doubt, get help. The sales staff at any bicycle shop or outdoor recreation store should be able to provide expert advice on fitting and adjusting bikes and helmets.
The single most effective safety device available to reduce head injury and death from bicycle crashes is a helmet.
For more information about bicycle safety, call 937-641-3385 or visit www.usa.safekids.org. National Bike Month has been coordinated annually since 1956 by the League of American Bicyclists.

An internship program can be beneficial for both the intern and the employer. For students, a good internship provides experience working in an industry that aligns with their career interests and an opportunity to build relationships with professionals in their chosen field. For businesses, internship programs introduce new and experienced candidates to consider recruiting as full-time hires. But for the internship to be valuable for both parties, businesses must be prepared to invest time in creating a meaningful learning experience for students.
To help you determine what a successful internship program could look like, I interviewed two professionals for their advice on establishing and fostering a valuable internship experience. In the following video we discuss:
- Tips for building a successful internship program
- How students and employers can benefit from an internship
- Common challenges for internship seekers and employers
Our guests are Andrew Maguire, CEO of InternMatch, and Larry Smith, founder and editor of SMITH Magazine, home of the Six-Word Memoir Project.

Loading... No Logo: No Space, No Choice, No Jobs (original 2000; edition 2002)by Naomi Klein
Work detailsNo Logo by Naomi Klein (2000)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. So like this book called No Logo has this cool logo on the front. Does anyone know where I can buy the t-shirt? Some political activists can over-sell their ideology: I would be surprised were Naomi Klein's sternest critics to accuse her of that. She sets out her case both rationally and without drama. This makes her findings all the more disturbing. In this, her first book, she takes on the big names of corporate branding. She explains how exploited workers in third world countries produce designer brands which are then sold, often to the poorer members of the richer countries populations, for exorbitant profits. Klein steers clear of making value judgements, but I defy the reader not to feel depressed. It doesn't matter whether you are a Communist, or a fully paid up capitalist; if you read, with as little prejudice as possible, you must surely come to the conclusion that this trend will not end well, for anyone. The third world poor are being paid less than a living wage, getting injured, or even killed, by dangerous practises and must be building animosity towards the west. The people of the west are being duped into paying over the odds for "designer" labels and losing their jobs to foreign workers and, even the 1% making vast profits at the moment, would see that their days are numbered. This is a bleak, but necessary read. Klein tries to put a brave face upon the situation, suggesting that change can and is coming. I, for one, remain to be convinced that we will make the amendments, so desperately needed, without bloodshed. Modern History. A populist-academic examination of brands and globalisation and their effects on worldwide labour. Quite a good insight into systemic corporate greed and the brewing backlash against it. Later chapters remind me of my own 'Control, Change and the Internet' in their vague attempt to grasp global culture. This looks like another eyeopener from Naomi Klein who wrote 'The Shock Doctrine'. Bel libro; non certo di facile lettura , ma di sicuro da leggere . Non e' un libro anarchico o di sinista, come e' stato etichettato, ma e' una analisi oggettiva e documentata del fenomeno del branding in tutte le sue forme. no reviews | add a review

Wikipedia in English (9)Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0312421435, Paperback)We live in an era where image is nearly everything, where the proliferation of brand-name culture has created, to take one hyperbolic example from Naomi Klein's No Logo, "walking, talking, life-sized Tommy [Hilfiger] dolls, mummified in fully branded Tommy worlds." Brand identities are even flourishing online, she notes--and for some retailers, perhaps best of all online: "Liberated from the real-world burdens of stores and product manufacturing, these brands are free to soar, less as the disseminators of goods or services than as collective hallucinations."In No Logo, Klein patiently demonstrates, step by step, how brands have become ubiquitous, not just in media and on the street but increasingly in the schools as well. (The controversy over advertiser-sponsored Channel One may be old hat, but many readers will be surprised to learn about ads in school lavatories and exclusive concessions in school cafeterias.) The global companies claim to support diversity, but their version of "corporate multiculturalism" is merely intended to create more buying options for consumers. When Klein talks about how easy it is for retailers like Wal-Mart and Blockbuster to "censor" the contents of videotapes and albums, she also considers the role corporate conglomeration plays in the process. How much would one expect Paramount Pictures, for example, to protest against Blockbuster's policies, given that they're both divisions of Viacom? Klein also looks at the workers who keep these companies running, most of whom never share in any of the great rewards. The president of Borders, when asked whether the bookstore chain could pay its clerks a "living wage," wrote that "while the concept is romantically appealing, it ignores the practicalities and realities of our business environment." Those clerks should probably just be grateful they're not stuck in an Asian sweatshop, making pennies an hour to produce Nike sneakers or other must-have fashion items. Klein also discusses at some length the tactic of hiring "permatemps" who can do most of the work and receive few, if any, benefits like health care, paid vacations, or stock options. While many workers are glad to be part of the "Free Agent Nation," observers note that, particularly in the high-tech industry, such policies make it increasingly difficult to organize workers and advocate for change. But resistance is growing, and the backlash against the brands has set in. Street-level education programs have taught kids in the inner cities, for example, not only about Nike's abusive labor practices but about the astronomical markup in their prices. Boycotts have commenced: as one urban teen put it, "Nike, we made you. We can break you." But there's more to the revolution, as Klein optimistically recounts: "Ethical shareholders, culture jammers, street reclaimers, McUnion organizers, human-rights hacktivists, school-logo fighters and Internet corporate watchdogs are at the early stages of demanding a citizen-centered alternative to the international rule of the brands ... as global, and as capable of coordinated action, as the multinational corporations it seeks to subvert." No Logo is a comprehensive account of what the global economy has wrought and the actions taking place to thwart it. --Ron Hogan (retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:17:58 -0400) 28-year-old writer and journalist Naomi Klein describes the growing resistance to the multinational ethos, a world in which all that is alternative is sold, where innovation is adopted by faceless corporations as a marketing tool.
