Most sets of rules that i have read state that T boning is illegal but the rule about this always seems to be written from the point of view of the person/bike making the vertical part of the T being the aggressor.
What would be the ruling if the person/bike making the top part of the T was the aggressor?
ie my opponent is traveling down the court with the ball and i either ride across the front of them or ride towards them then skid my back wheel round so my bike blocks them.
Would my opponent be responsible for avoiding coming into contact with me and be guilty of a foul if they did contact me?
My polo bike is freewheel with a rear brake so i can easily perform this move and ride out of it without foot downing and it can be quite intimidating so i can use it to make a player in possesion of the ball foot down but i want to know if it is really legal or not before i get too used to using it.
