courts look rad dingo. good one!
epicly rad for sure.
http://www.bikepolo.com.au/2010/11/new-lights-at-fishmarkets/
Our new lights at this court :)
This was super easy to setup once we got ourselves organised, please get in touch if you need help setting this up yourself.
ha! we are just looking for a smooth surface :)
lights look great.
We're having trouble finding that too, just a bit harder to DIY for a whole court.
(Click for more photos)
that looks sick! do u have permission from whoever to play under the road there?
No, but have been there for about 18 months so it's ok. To be honest, the surface is a bit wavy and affects the game too much. It's a little too far out of the way to sustain good regular polo sessions. When the lights are sorted (again... first lot got stolen) things might improve. At the moment, our main polo day is Sunday and fewer people also play on Saturdays at a school we can (can't access most schools in Australia)
