don't think spd's would be a safe option...

ha!
it's safe, don't worry - I only displaced my ribcage and had to 2 chiropractor sessions... :)
Spds are not the best indeed, but I managed to not fall too much. These clips are from the most hardcore guys, Doug, Zach, etc...

looks fun, we should start plyaing foot down in this town more

far too much falling off for my liking, and they are the good guys!?

may come and watch you lot getting twatted up, but fuck that shit, I'm old. when I fall I don't get up so quick

Doesnt look that painful seeing as how they get up so quick...

RPM
every sunday they have Mr. Frank who plays in NYC, and he is about 50, with a geared MTB. He loves it and plays pretty slow, doesn't fall off often, and never badly.
These guys fall cause they push each other and go really fast.

Anyway I'll take it easy too - don't even think I can play on sunday (only 3 weeks after a foot fracture is very soon).
But let's get started! We need mallets mallets mallets!
Oh and a few street Hockey balls

ill work on as meny shabby mallets as possible, a polish freind said you can do them out of a broom handel and cardbord (and lots of gaffa tape). see what i can get by sunday.

if its anything like that on sunday my camera is going to love it.....you are all quite old tho...watch out for your hips

so this sunday we have the southend ride a death race an alley cat and bike polo hmm descisions descisions shame there is so much fixie stuff going on these days in london it's impossible to do it all

darn this website and all you nice friendly bikers how i wish for the days when we all snarled at each other and cycled alone !

if we dont all start making our own unique clothes and stop wearing jeans and bags some kind of civil war is going to break out...i warned you

I'm sticking with lycra. I like to be different (ie. roadie scum).

death race is not till june... i thought.

and southend is next week (bank holiday)

I just got my bottle cage seatposty mounty thingie and some new tyres.
Now I just need to find a nice £200 pair of fatigued denim jeans and have the legs professionally rolled up.
Oh crap, I have a Crumpler.. quick.. where can I get a PAC bag?!? :)

Just to make it clear, polo is at Haggerston park or at Brick lane's basketball court thingy?

brick lane
who's coming then?
I don't have a mallet yet!

I'll be there...

I dont have a mallet but im gunna come down and say hi.

ok chaps i know it's a bit late but i think i passed by the perfect spot it's a bsketball/5 a side court it's concrete and copletely walled, the only thi is that one of the goals doesn't have a wall right behind it but it's cool...le car what do you think?

and it's pnly 2 mins up the hood in Bethnal Green

the place is in the corner of old bethnal green road and clarkson street, just type it in googlemaps and you'll see

I posted that last week! Seems like brick lane is a better option.

Sorry, I'm not reading all three pages of this but i've got to ask an obvious question...
Does anybody have a ball?

good question, i don't think so!lol

trampsparadise Sorry, I'm not reading all three pages of this but i've got to ask an obvious question...

I'm sure we can manage without :p

Or they must sell them at the market ;)
