Bike Polo is more than a game/sport!

Submitted by reese on Mar 29 2010 5:40pm

General

Bike polo is a ___________ whose mission is a livable community. The idea is our bikes are recycled, our mallets are reused, and our courts are revitalized. In their participation of bike polo cyclist develop bike handling skills that apply to all types of cycling. We play in the local parks, at schools, and if need be in the streets in front of our suburban homes. We will use the tools available to us ie. planes, trains, and automobiles; to strengthen "Bike Polo."

Let us declare our independence from the realm of sport/game and control our future!

If our bikes are recycled, who is going to buy Jousts? And what exactly does 'livable community' mean?

Don't get me wrong, I play minimum 3x/week but if some hister doofus's were playing out in front of my suburban home I'd be calling the PoPo before you could say lowered property values. ok, maybe after playing a few chukkers. ok, maybe I'll never live in the suburbs either. Or own a home. And the police told me not to call them anymore. so really just fark the hister doofus's!

/god I need booze

I just need to know before this gets all meme-y. Are we pronouncing "hister" like hipster, without the "p", or high-ster? I'd hate to get this wrong IRL at a tournament. I couldn't handle the shame.

Already started drinking today.

i dont know if were actually making any social change through bike polo.many people who fall in love with it, put lost of cash into their obsession and take time away from things that are actually important. it is exercise, and it is a pretty amazing game. we use spaces that we can, but most of us would prefer to have spaces that we have some sort of ownership of, wich if you believe in marx, then its all about property wich is theft.

so maybe bike polo is theft, yea i think thats the word your looking for, bike polo is theft,

Actually, I believe in the Thomas Jefferson type people. Who are creating wealth by playing this "amazing game." I think they have been referred to as "idiots."

you are like to bike polo as my oldest siblings are to my family. you make a huge fuss to make sure whatever we are doing includes your ideas and opinions, and that the whole thing feels like it was your idea, but then when we actually go on vacation, you just do you own thing and stand apart, then when we get home you make a huge deal out of everything that went wrong and who's fault it was. then you make it really public, and we dont go on family vacations anymore because of you daniel, and i hate you cause of it. those were my best memories of my life and now i have nothing. thanks

ok so i changed more than you suggested, but it just seemed to make more sense to me this way. also do you order a yellow tshirt or a black one. they both look great. if you find that you can really wear that shirt in public. feel free to change your order to a small or medium and have it sent to 308 s few madison wi.

ill be sure to wear it and let people know it was yours.

if everyone weren't so fucking stupid then there wouldn't be a problem.

i think it's his way of saying all other bike polo players love alexis (like all other comedians love gilbert gottfried) and all other bike polo players hate me (like all other comedians apparently hate dane cook), but without actually saying it. he may not be wrong, even i love alexis.

did i ruin your family vacations too, doug d?

hey doug, been thinking about you a lot lately. wish i would have gotten away with just you for a bit last weekend. you did a good job helping me translate my players comments from frankly honest to brutally honest, wich helped me actually hear what was being said and then address it. thanks. see you soon. think about that job offer from that guy, ive met him and hed do well by you, plus it would be cool to see you in the midwest again.

feel free to reply to this post on the special forum thread i created for this conversation called - easter eggs whatnot ect. its really important that you respond to this there. thanks

"In recent months, the peregrine falcon has continued to infuriate environmentalists by reclaiming its habitat without so much as a simple thank you, frequently and loudly mating in everyone's face, and hunting prey off the coast of Maine as though it were "master of the fucking skies." "

that right there is bike polo.

bike polo is the love of the game, that first love like when your sixteen and its so perfect and you may not even get to second base but your still loving it and everything thats gonna happen later is gonna just get better.

keep at it kid, eventually youll get hurt and question whether its still worth playing the game, but it is. keep at it.
