Cycle-ball (Radball)

Not sure if it's been mentioned here before but is anyone familiar with this?
I'd love to try it. It's a pretty old sport but it's progressed somewhat...
The bikes are pretty specialist and I've been wondering if it can be done on standard fixed/polo bikes...
Anyone wanna try?

I've also found a site selling the bikes, balls, and parts.
They also sell 'Artistic' circus fixed wheels!!!

I can't explain it but that sport seems to be equally goofy and cool.
I think basically all the striking looks good but everything else looks really stupid. Especially the bikes. What gearing are they running? 22-20? haha

Bloody hell! Those shots are AMAZING!

that looks really fun!!
i reckon it would be hard without those specialised bikes, but it might be fun to try anyway!

A bunch of us were playing around on my new artistic / circus bike this evening....was good fun...a lot was learnt very quickly....and yes it's German.

are you looking at star bikes or walther?

every time i look at the title of this all i can think of is the bicycle boogie scene in RAD

The most impressive was the cross and volley!
Like the look of it but no room in the spare room for another bike!

I think I'll stick with Polo...

hypsters in denver play this, polo is more fun.

i saw this along time ago on tv and was just wondering if anyone had played it or know of people who play it
i would like to have ago
looks fun

"Move Over Bike Polo: Cycle Ball Is Here To Eat Your Children"

First time I've seen this cycle-ball. Found it on a flyer from a recent trip to Portugal. There's a big Indoor Cycling festival going on incorporating cycle-ball by the looks of things.

Couldn't find any specific component manufacturers though. Any chance you still have the details Todd?

sorry, but this is just stupid.

no doubt there is tonnes of skill involved, but at the end of the day you are still playing football with a bike.

i don't care what anyone says, i'm so up for this.

you ride a bike fool, it's just a motorbike without an engine, stupid.

bicycle came first, so a motorbike is just a bicycle with an engine :P

Radball is great, but as a well-established indoor sport that requires quite a lot of props and is probably much more difficult to learn than polo, I doubt it's ever going to rival polo's burgeoning popularity. It's just not easy enough to get into.

It's been around for a long time and tends to be found in clubs that also do 'artistic cycling' ("Kunstradfahren" in German), the discipline that is practised in the recent much-reposted video of the junior European champions Carla and Henriette Hochdorfer.

One of the great things about polo is how little equipment you need to start a game. ANY bike can do, some sort of mallet, a tennis ball sized ball and some posts and you can start a game, even if it won't be played at a particularly high standard.

Who wants to give it a shot? I've got a size 0 football. Which is all we need, along with bikes and a court. Let's start a list and then see if we have enough interest to plan a game.
