What's going on in the Poloverse

Save this date...
There'll be a polo bike race in the programme...

Maximum GI?

I'll be checking the What's your gear ratio... thread to deter sandbagging... I think a maximum of 42GI would be about right...

This is just going to encourage the move back to 700c, Joe.

Awww I miss Rotten Apples!

Louis Vitton are sponsoring tournaments, hosting beginner sessions, building a court, promoting the sport busy making more fancy videos:

Louis Vuitton Presents : Craftsmen on Wheels - YouTube

...which makes people more aware of the sport and will result more sponsorship opportunities.

I can't see the video at work, but if it's got semi-electric bikes in it I'll definitely find time to watch it later tonight maybe.

It's got a playboy model as ref, think I'd prefer Bill in her outfit though.

...which makes people more aware of the sport and will result more sponsorship opportunities.

Fingers crossed. (Cosmic should get in there quick.)

that video made me dizzy!

I told them to use real players, they didn't listen. I even gave them a full list of guys in NYC for their shoot. Alas. Dude holds his mallet terribly

On the plus side they're all super cute and don't appear to have been drinking.

Fingers crossed. (Cosmic should get in there quick.)

lolz

Not a beard in sight! (or any goals for that matter)

Also there should be a warning for epileptics at the beginning...

Sponsorship opportunities for tournaments, Jono. Then you can get paid to do tourneys.

...which makes people more aware of the sport and will result more sponsorship opportunities.

looks to me like a very well shot, extremely stylish bandwagon jump (i know theyve done other bandwagon jumps before too...). Maybe it might increase 'awareness' but i couldent see a huge amount of bike polo as i know it in that. When LV sponsor a tournament etc as jono said, then ill start applauding

LV won't. But umpteen companies who see the vid might. Before the vid they wouldn't know polo exists. Do we want sponsorship and growth or not? I'm not bothered about polo getting much bigger tbh, but I thought all you lot did but wtvr. Roflcopter

if it does get bigger surely its important to guard against people such as in this instance LV just using and not giving anything back. I like them as a brand and all but as Yorgo says for a start they could have got some actual polo players in the vid, hopefully paid them. That wasnt bike polo its some pretty fuckers riding bikes around holding sticks. Growth yes, getting used for no tangible benefit ? no #ifeeldirty

So are Louis Vuitton going to make dedicated mallet bags or something useful?

I just got an email... Apparently they are offering me money to change my surname to Vuitton... I'm holding out for double figures.

£10? You lucky bastard.

Snoops' trolling skills are weak, er, this week... Not had your juice today?

Just found out, badger owns a dyson.
