Rainy Games and Deadly Jousts

This past Sunday was a blast. It was great playing in the pouring rain for a game or two. No pictures of rainy games cause I wasn't trying to kill my camera. Cyrus showed up with the uni-cycle again which always makes for interesting polo matches, pretty uneven, but interesting. Ariel brought his new Eighth Inch mallet and it didnt last past the first joust. Eighth inch is rumoring a new sturdier compound being used for heads but I think the heads are heavy to begin with and because of that the shafts are made light and thin to make up for it. A stronger compound that weighed less would be better and up the thickness and sturdiness of the shaft. Thats just me.

More shafts in

From a friend up in Canada. I got 8 more shafts in today. Let me know if you need one and I can set you up. You know how to get ahold of me, wether its at the polo court, phone, or email...I can get a shaft to you if your in need.

First day of Polo in the New Year

This past Sunday was a great way to start of the New Year. Lots of old slackers and new faces showed up to start the new year with some polo. Rob tacoed a chainring riding into the court not even playing. Visiting Eilif came to represent for Corvallis playing with no chain at points in the day. Nates been coming more frequently and playing with an aerospoke like only a mad man would.

Stickies came in for the New Year

Happy New years all! Well the stickers of original design came in the others appeareantly haven't begun printing due to the holidays. But these are gunna be $1 each or $8 for 10. Hit me up through email or at the polo courts if you want them. All profits do go back into the "club fund" for production of other merchandise or other benefits to the club. Show your support!

Boxing Day

Boxing day was Dec. 26th and James and homie Rob were nice enough to put on an allecay named after the day . Props to Johnny O for overall first place for the race. It was well planned for polo in terms of day and time. The alleycat brought a bunch of new faces to watch and play. I think everyone had a great time. I enjoyed the race but did kill the polo steed. Mark Mizusawa supplied pictures from the day. For those who didnt make it here is what you missed.

Genghis Kahn Mallet Head

This thing is huge. The caps at the end were a quick fix to the problem I'm sure. Needless to say the end caps didn't hold up the best. I do however really like the recycled bike tube grip on the shaft. The head is huge and wouldn't be allowed in a tourney (but lets face it we aren't there yet so who cares) and it probably weighs more then Id like. This this looks like something Genghis Kahn himself would show up to a polo match with.

Uni-Polo

So we were short this week and need to build our numbers back up guys. Lets get a good strong turnout this coming week. Cyrus's polo bike got locked up by building maintance at the Kickstand so he showed up on his unicycle, yea he actually played polo on the unicycle. It was fun to attempt to ride in between games. Take note at the pictures Spencer showed up after he has been MIA, rumor has it Nate should be back out soon. For this week lets get back to straight polo and no shananigans. Get the numbers up have more then two teams for the day. Good old fashion beer and polo.
