Who has my mallets now? I've got some balls. heh...

ok i'm down but my "mallet"' 's still a golf club...
clipless,toeclips or just pedals?

Not playing as I'll be on the Serotta, and I'm doing 80 miles in the morning, so may very well ride over to watch just to round the whole day up to 100 miles.

I'm in - still no mallet, sorry..

Yeah i'm coming... i got two of your mallets mike + a golf club.

Polo bike still out of action tho :(

i'll be down. No Mallet but i'll bring my hockey stick

im down! the wasp is needing some minor adjustments

i had a mallet 2 days ago, but i think it has run away

i'll be there with three mallets and a hockey stick and a fixed wheel bike you'll all be glad to know !!
the bmx kid is gone

sigh of relief
I'm (not so) seriously considering putting it to vote that BMX are illegal! (or at least in the hands of people that can maneuver them like you...)

according to the rules of bike polo

A. Bicycles of any type may be used, but a player may be required to remove any equipment which may be hazardous to another player.
B. Mallets shall not exceed an overall length of 36 inches. The cane may not exceed one inch in diameter. The head may not exceed three inches in diameter, nine inches in length, and ten ounces in weight.

C.The ball shall be not less than 12.5" or more than 15" in circumference and not less than 170 grams or more than 182 grams in weight. In a bounce test from 9' on concrete at 70ºF, the rebound should be a minimum of 54" and a maximum of 64" at the inflation rate specified by the manufacturer.

WTF?!? i thought there was only 2 real rules. Keep your feet off the ground and no shuffles. What's this about a bounce test from 9' on concrete at 70ºF, and inflation rate? Isn't that what keeps the prices of everything going up? What's that got to do with bikepolo?

Flo has a banged up knee so we might actually get a referee today! Anybody got a megaphone/loudspeaker/PA system he can use?

you're right those are rules for posh bike polo, the one you play on the grass, of your 3 acres weekend countryhouse in gloustershire

yeah not urban bike polo where at half time we drink stella's and eat beigels

dicki ( julian ) according to the rules of bike polo
