Sharing some of my highlights from the weekend:
Playing teams we’ve never played before; Profane Lobotomy (NY), Mortal Wombats and Polocalypse now (Oz), Joel and the Janky Mallets (San Fran), One Team! (Warsaw), Strange Brew (East Van), Polomoto (Dresden) and of course, the ones we know, from Paris (Apologie) and London (BAD and Cosmic).
Thursday Throw-ins on the tiny courts. Dt, Hops and I playing Emilie, Jared and Leon. Fun game.
Rik singing We Are The Robots when L’equipe were on court.
Watching the Roundabout Keirin racing after 4 euro pizzas.
Watching an amazing, hard fought match between BAD and La Schmoove in the losers bracket. After about two minutes of Golden Goal, all three of BAD were up on the schmoove goal, when James Brown hit what appeared to be more of a clearance than a shot and it rolled all the way down court and in. JB actually looked apologetic. (not a highlight seeing London teams take each other out though!)
Alejandro = Barry Handjob
Having an excuse to breakdance.
Seeing Jonny and James Shootthebreeze casually strolling around the courts, Festus sat on the sidelines, beer in hand. I had no idea they were coming to Berlin. Good times.
Table tennis and Choko Crossies with Lebowski.
The food and drink: 1 euro beers served from a giant beer barrel ... 1 euro mango lassies ... steaks & wurst straight off the barbecue!
The final; 5 goals from one player (riding fixed) in 6 minutes. MKE take polo very, very seriously.
Malice making a comeback against Apologies to win – Chukker and Lebowski were awesome.
Well done Berlin Bike Polo, you hosted a good one!
