Fair game. I still need a team for this!

Dave, you want to make a team for this? Snoops 3rd player maybe?

A big thanks to Geneva and the european polo community, especially you guys from London, you really made us feel welcome at our first tournament!

Polo'Erotica is dead, but we'll re-invent ourselves and come to Berlin with new (not so tight) shirts and some actual tactics!

See you all!

Asshole move - keep the ball on the ground.

Program-link doesn't work.

If you should decide to sell it to buy a frame in your size, please send me a pm - ill take the Mercian of your hands if the price is right.

Fuck me. Where is this 'secret' forum where these tournaments gets announced?! If anyone needs a third player i'd be happy to bring some ruckus to the 'dam!

Don't know if I met you when I was visiting, but Copenhagen is keeping our fingers crossed for you! Get well!

Lots of polo love from across the pond!

You got a link to that tourney rick?

Hey,

im back in snowy Copenhagen so no polo for me, but thanks for an awesome time the last week and some really good polo - hope to see alot of you at the euros!

Btw can one of the regulars send me their adress? I forgot to hand out stickers when I was over there, but I thought id send some over so you guys can rep copenhagen ;)

Thanks!

Hey, id greatly appreciate it if anyone could bring a spoke key and some expertise to Downham tomorrow, my wheel keeps hitting my brakes no matter what I do and I cant true wheels without a trueing stand (yes I know - embarrasing) so if some one could help me (ie. do it for me ;)) ill pay with beer!

see you tomorrow.

I'd be down to play Newington from midday as well ... And, does anyone have some spare yellow pipe that they can bring tomorrow? Would really appreciate it if I could get my hands on enough for a couple of mallets!

thanks

So it's Newington wednesday? What time?

Thanks alot everyone. I've sent out a bunch of PMs but im not sure if theyre getting through ..?

Hey Londoners,

After a long time with exams and shitty weather I need to get out of the city and domestic train tickets costs just as much as a plane ticket to London - so i've decided on the latter.

I've already bought my place ticket, but ideally I would like to crash on someones floor.
And I hoped that a fellow polo player would be willing to host me - even for just a few days. I'll fly in on Tuesday the 16th of February and i'm leaving on the 22nd of February.
I cant offer anything else than friendly company and a nice couch to crash on if someone comes to Copenhagen sometime.

I'm bringing my polo bike and just plan riding around, meeting people and play as much polo as possible.

Any help is greatly appreciated - cheers!

Does anyone of you guys know if they have decided on a specific date yet? All we heard was something around July.

Those metal goals seem a little brutal, but plastic ones might be okay?

@treo - Are your new goals plastic? You prefer them over cones without question?

I agree that the metal goals are a bit brutal, but thats because they're heavy as hell and bolted firmly in the ground so they won't move an inch if you crash into them.

Our new goals are regular iron roller hockey/ice hockey goals, but they're not bolted to the ground so they move if you crash into them, but no if you just 'touch' them. And id take them over cones any day.

Ah, got it, didn't read it properly.

treo, how is play with the goals fix to the floor? what you prefer fix goals or cones?

Well, this was from last year so this is our 'old' court and im not a fan of those small goals. Now we play on a full sized hockey rink - but still with fixed goals, but they are much larger, regular hockey sized I guess.

The only time i've tryed to play with cones was at the ECMC, but I never did see anything 'good' about cones other than the fact that they move if you crash into them :). For me, playing with cones leaves too much up for discussion concerning scoring heights, passing through them from behind, putting them back in place if moved etc. But like I said, i've only tried it in Berlin and once in London at the Euros.

wow nice danish polo as well treo! a good advert for no crossbars at the start.

Didnt quite get what you mean by the 'good avert for no crossbar' thing?

Its not related to London in any way, but if you're half as geeky as I am, everything polo related is fun to watch. The Danish national television came out to our little tournament and made this little video. Theres some danish talking about the the game, tournament etc, but check it out!

Thanks Dan. Thats cool - we just wanna get out of the city and play for fun. Just need to find a floor to crash on - no money for hotels :)

Hey London. Would anybody be interested in hosting two copenhagen guys for this weekend if we get our asses over the water?
