I haven't been as on it with updates and I apologize but polo is still going strong here in Honolulu. Jorge is still recovering from his accident. We are still putting together a bike for him so any and all help you can donate to the project is appreciated. In the mean time I do like these two photos that were taken recently. Oh and these dope wheel covers that were printed as prizes from the Broken Coconuts tourney by Jinxy . Thanks again Jinxy.

Heal Up Milkman!

The Broken Coconut tourney went down well. It started a lil late but once it was under way it was unstoppable. The games got more intense as the day progressed. Congrats to team Tupperware for winning the tourney. One of greatest things I can say about playing polo in paradise isnt that we have some great sceneary with the ocean side courts and lush green mountains. No its the chill level headed people we meet and get the chance to share time with on and off the polo court. One of my favorite most chilled out dudes is Jorgie the Milkman and it pains me to say in the weeks following the Broken Coconut tourney, which Jorge played his heart out in and jumped ten polo bikes in a single bound while sober, Jorge suffered some trauma when he was struck by a truck riding home from polo. I wont go into any more detail about it but I couldnt not let the world know in some manner. I know his commuter was stolen a while back and now his polo steed is twisted up in an evidence closet somwhere. If any and all are willing you can contact me or any other HNL polo head and we are starting a fund to get Jorge back on a bike by the time he bounces back from the string of shitty luck he has had these past few months. Jorge we love you and hope to see you back on the polo courts soon hombre.

Broken Coconut Tournament

Here it is the flyer for the tourney. The rules for even will be followed as listed in the rule section of this blog. If you have any questions or a team let me know and Ill add it to the roster. This event will take place on August 14 2011 at Hawaii Kai Hockey Rink. It will be bracket style tournament. Plan for teams to check in at 8:30 day of the event and we can launch once all have checked in. I will add more sponsors as they come in. Need more info or housing for out of towners email me.

Be There!

Schwenkster put together a great idea. Beach bbq and polo thats how we should be doing it in Honolulu on the weekly. Glad this is going down while Elijah and Alea are here.

Randoms: Polo mayhem

I haven't updated in a while and I apologize but I wrecked my ankle last night at polo and can't even stand on it so here I am at the computer sitting. I wasn't able to attend aloha sunday this past weekend where a 5 team round robin style mini tourney took place. I was however able to attend last weds where I bent my fork, which Jai replaced with his own handbuilt beefy fork. I swear to god the fork weighs five punds but my janky bike has never felt sturdier. We have had a couple of the H-bomb gravity bike guys come out. Jordan came out a couple weeks ago and played polo until my polo fork gave out then he and I hit round top on mini bikes. All in all polo is continuing to grow and thrive and intermingle with people from all aspects of the cycling community in Honolulu.
