The number of women in the Hardcourt Bike Polo community is growing, and so is my love for the sport. These fierce ladies are sprinting down court with the guys, stealing balls from their boyfriends, and are sure to have the gnarliest legs around! 

Keep encouraging!

Love the Austin crew!

It's been a long time since I left you...

Although this blog has been dull lately, the poloverse has not!

The New Orleans Hardcourt Bike Polo Open was so much fun! The first day there was rain, but still great playing. The second day, after hours of intense games, Austin, Tx, Hymen I'm Home, took first.

In second place was Big Red, Ft. Lauderdale, FL.  Third was Como Polo, Columbia, MO.

The thing I love about Bike Polo is how these hundreds of people from all across the World are like one big extended family. We might not call, write, or bake each other cakes on birthdays, but we can be sure we'll see each other at tournaments all over, and let the shit talk commence!

Heart of Gold Events:

In these upcoming weeks, there are some alley cat races going on that should be beyond fun. Please go to them if you can!

This is race my friend Randon is putting on in Philly. Should be pretty ridiculous and fun!
