Well I'm moving back to DeKalb tomorrow. Just want to say it was awesome meeting and playing with everyone this summer. You guys/gals are fucking rad. Hopefully I'll get the privilege to do so again in the future.
Hey Jake, check out this thread on customizing old mtb frames for polo. It is on the dreaded league of bike polo web site, but it is free of the usual BS.
I saw someone riding what very much looked like a polo bike down Newstead this afternoon (low gear, wheel cover). If my windows had been down I would have hollered at them to come and play tonight!
po·lo [poh-loh] - noun 1. a game played on horseback between two teams, each of four players, the object being to score points by driving a wooden ball into the opponents' goal using a long-handled mallet. 2. any game broadly resembling this, especially water polo. 3. polo shirt.
To the girl I told to look up polo when she was riding by Tower Grove and Shaw -
For real, you should come play with us, or at least check it out sometime. We're really nice, polo's really fun, we need more girls playing, and you ride like a polo player already.
Tim Alternator, Nick Kruse, Aaron Hand and maybe another one or two from como are comign to STL next week to see big business at the firebird. It'll be rockin'.
You all should join us. And then maybe we could get some polo together on Saturday for special occasion?
State vs. State was a lot of fun, but City based teams is where new format is headed. The Midwest differs from some of the other regions in that there are lots of cities with smaller polo scenes. That is why we are going with "club based" teams. Ideally, if a city can field a full roster, they should. If they can't, it's OK to combine cities into one club. The catch is that once a player plays for a club, they can only play for that club for the rest of the season (season starts post-worlds). Also, the general consensus has been that 9 is too many players per team. For this tournament, we are going with 7 active players and up to 2 alternates on the bench.
MIDWEST CLUB REPS: EMAIL THE ADDRESS ABOVE BY AUGUST 31 IF YOUR CITY IS INTERESTED!!
Details on format will be posted after the registration deadline.
SUMMARY: Bench style tournament. Club based teams. Teams of 7 + 2 alternates. Midwest. Lexington. Awesome.
The collection was for the deposit, not registration (if that's what you're asking?), and at this point I think we're okay, a bunch of people gave me $$$.
If you have more questions, shoot me an email, I'm not 100% sure I totally understand what you're asking - rosemary louise at sbcglobal dot net
So I'm working on some blog redesign stuff and while poking around, I found out that the search keyword that nets our blog the second most amount of hits (after "stl bike polo") is "chick magnet". No joke.
Looks like Brian is responsible for all of our "Chick magnet" hits. http://stlbikepolo.blogspot.com/2007/08/watch-out-ladies-you-might-not-be-able.html
We played last Wednesday. I was really late cause of work. Maybe you were the first one there. Even if it doesn't rain any more today the court will still be very slick and dangerous tonight. I'd probably play anyway, but it just depends on if we can get six people out.
Jake, if you have some extra BMX bars lying around could you bring them, I only want to borrow them for a week to figure out what size bars I want on a bike I'm building up, thanks -Patrick
If by chance nothing works out today would any of you be willing to chat on the phone so I can gather some info for my piece? I'll for sure come out on Wed regardless! You can email me your number at washugobears@gmail.com
SIERRA BLANCA, Texas – Authorities say they found drugs and a gun on rapper Nelly's tour bus at a West Texas border checkpoint where several celebrities have been arrested. Hudspeth County sheriff's officials said an initial search Wednesday night turned up small amounts of marijuana and heroin and a loaded gun. Authorities say a second search revealed a duffel bag with about 10 pounds of pot. Officials say one of the occupants was arrested after admitting the drugs and gun belonged to him. Nelly and five others were released. Previous drug-related arrests of celebrities at the checkpoint near Sierra Blanca included Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg, Fiona Apple and Armand Hammer. A publicist for Nelly, whose birth name is Cornell Iral Haynes, didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
The weather forecast doesn't look good for polo tonight. Does anyone know of a covered place we could play when it rains/snows? We should all be on the lookout for one.
No polo tonight. Go tick-or-treating or go to The Handle Bar at 8 for the Halloween ride. I hear it will be spooktacular! http://www.facebook.com/events/300400013407302/
I'm no longer sure the place you are getting your information, but great topic. I must spend some time studying much more or understanding more. Thanks for fantastic information I was on the lookout for this info for my mission.
