“In an inner Melbourne suburb, a passionate group of men and women get together every Sunday to do something that many of us know very little about. The sport of hardcourt bike polo may be unknown, but given its growing popularity it seems we may be hearing a lot more of it in the future.”

This is a short clip of an incredible goal in a game from the final day of play at the North American Championships in Calgary. Ian (Purple Starfish) lob passes the ball through Martin’s (The Outsiders) five-hole, straight to his team mate Johnny Hunter who sinks the goal.

I leave for Canada on Wednesday morning, indefinitely.

Thanks for the memories everyone. Adelaide was such an amazing high note to go out on. I love you all. Keep playing, keep slaying.

Banana Boat has just signed on as a major sponsor for the whole of NAH (North American Hardcourt). Its the first major sponsorship coming from outside the bike industry and has some pretty major implications if you consider the legitimacy and exposure as well as the financial support it will give to NAH and bike polo as a whole.

To cap or not to cap? from Josh Meyland on Vimeo.

I stumbled across this little gem while browsing other polo videos on Vimeo.

Sweet little short film. I know personally I’ve gone back and forth between capped and uncapped. Pretty happy with uncapped at the moment but who knows what the future holds.

With the increasing availability of light, well thought out caps I’m sure more and more people will look towards them for those faster, more accurate shots.

Check St Cago, MKE Bike Co, TPL (Total Polo Laboratories), Eighth Inch and the soon to be released Northern Standard heads for a different range of complete, off the shelf, capped heads or removable caps to fit your existing head.

Cunning Stunts went undefeated for the weekend and won the final 5-2.

There’s already two videos of the final game circulating already.

This first is a helmet cam Maija is wearing, brought to you by 321polo.com

The second is a Mr Do special

If you press play on the first video and wait about 5 seconds before starting the second you should be able to sync them up!

Fuck yeah!
