About me:
JOIN THE EASTVAN BIKE POLO MAILING LIST - EMAIL eastvanbikepolo-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
Vancouver's emerging urban polo league. (none of that large field pansy-ass play on grass stuff. Concrete and Clay for these kids.)
We meet Saturdays at around 1pm on the tennis courts at Grandview Park on Commerical. Most of us are at the coffee shops across Commerical from the park until 1pm. If you show up, and its raining, and none of us are there, try the basketball court under the north end of the Cambie Bridge.
We suply the mallets (though, you are of course welcome to make your own), you BYOB(like)B(eer) - don't bring your prettiest steed though... things sometimes get a little rough out there.
The Rules:
We like to keep it simple. The rules of East Van Bike Polo are-
1) No Foot Downs. If you have to put a foot on the ground, you must ride 360 degrees before you can touch the ball again.
2) Score with the business end of the mallet. To score, you must hit the ball with the narrow/round end of the mallet, not the wide side. Its fine in regular play to move the ball around with any part of the mallet, but for a goal to count, you gotta smack it with the end.
3) After your team scores, all members of the team must circle back around their own end.
Who I'd like to meet: Bikers of all sizes, styles, shapes, & colours.
Polo kids from other cities (Portland, Seattle, Philly, Ottawa - we're coming for all y'all)
Anyone who wants to play.
And this guy:
James bleeds, and tells us all about it...
