Cirque Du Sydney: Tournament Poster

Sydney is pleased to announce dates for our next tournament to be held on the weekend of February 25+26th, 2012. It will be over an entire weekend (and maybe a surprise for Friday night) and feature a team tournament on the first day, then a throw-up tournament the following day to loosen up and kick back with all our polo buddies.

We will be releasing more information over the next couple of weeks on format, setup, events and other details. We are super excited and have some great ideas to make this an epic weekend to remember!

Northern Standard design update

Northern Standard Bike Polo Update – 2011/08/18 from Ken Regehr on Vimeo.

Update on the Northern Standard mallet heads: Seems as though they’ve been breaking. Unfortunately they will be doing some redesign before they release them for sale. Its a shame as the tooling for those heads looks expensive, luckily these guys are dedicated to pushing the boundaries and are keen on developing an innovative mallet head. Excited to see how they turn out!
