we played in a super little spot in San Francisco. way fun, and really hard to do! i figure if you have a fixed gear it makes the game easier
Knife fights
We are organizing a tournament and planning to include knife fights in the official schedule. In the worlds I was sadly not able to assist to any of the fights. But people tell me they are a blast!
So please, somebody can you tell me the size of the rink, rules?
Thanks a lot
We are going to start Sunday Night Knife Fights at the 5lowershop with live dj's. We have a regular internet radio show already on sundays, and the roommates like the idea of making it a more social event with some knife fighting in the main room again! We had a repeat on my birthday and it was great. Gonna make some proper boards so we can really do it, yo! Oh, and team gravypants will broadcast our gravy news and music hour. with all the news that relevant to the polo world. Gravypants style. Bitches

You can also use plastic cups and try to shoot the ball into the cup, if you want even more of a challenge.
HERE east van we use a small kids pool that they dont use anymore ( any eastvaners have any pics to show0 and it is awesome if i do make it to the worlds i would love to get drunkerer and play hope u put it in the worlds
No size yet official i guess but what would you say it's ok to play...
let's say 3x3m?
More? And the score is to 3, so when someone scores what? you give the ball to the one who has received a goal. Ok. But at the beginning where is the ball? Middle...?
No time set?
The beer can is easily blown off by a ball or it must be hit with somewhat force?
I would say 5x5m would probably be best. To start, the ball is at the center of the court and there is a joust to start the game like in bike polo. The score is not to 3, but the best of 3 or at least that's how CBP plays. Once a can is knocked over, there is a re-joust and there is no time limit. You're thinking way too hard about this, it is totally informal and fun. : ) Good luck!
in chicago we also have these rules:
dabs = 360
if your mallet or bike, not the ball, knocks over your opponents can you have to fix the goal and 360. (you are allowed to force by mallet contact your opponents mallet into your can and force a goal fix/360 on their part)
if you knock over your own can you lose the point. (you are allowed to force your opponent to knock his own can over)
if you crush your own can you lose the match.
where the blazar at?!
We had a knife fights tourney in Mobile a while back. Shit was a blast. Tiny court in a loading dock, miniature cones, and a bunch of booze. Made for a hell of a time.
someone tell tucker we need to have knife fights tonight.
knife fights are crazy fun. since it's such an individual version of the game, the quicker the "match," the better for everyone participating/spectating. i almost feel like goalie/defensive players have the advantage. either way, it's a good time.
In East VAn we play:
- One goal
- Must be a shot
- You knock over your own can with a shot, shuffle, bike, mallet, foot, whatever: You lose.
- You knock over your opponent's can with anything but a shot: You lose.
Goal is to keep your can up while hitting the opponent's with a shot.
Game.
(also, spectators fucking with players is highly encouraged)
I miss the KFC!!
hmm, yes....i hate to say it but martin is the most right about this. if the can gets knocked over, whoever knocked it--no matter what part of their bike/body anatomy touched it, yer OUT! one point matches, winner stays in the ring and takes the next challenger. dollar by ins and the refs must all be drunk!
best court is a one car garage in a florida beach town.....10' x 10' with full walls
hmm, yes....i hate to say it but martin is the most right about this.
I hate to hear it. Specially from you.
Congrats on your engagement Blazar. Come up to Van and smoke with me...
We had the best knife fights at Cyclecides new werehouse in sf last night.10X10 first to 3 coz only 4 players.polojoel then devon then machine then mike mashes all while the barmaid was shootin down the cans with a BB rifle.
We've started building a indoor location, and with Court 1 in sight (ordered, not build yet..) we are already thinking of making a knife-fight court (I think we call it 'one-on-one' here?..) a ring made out of bend 230x50cm 6mm boards with ~6 meter diameter..
Would this be a good idea, or is it bound to break neck's?
:)
Circular court. Chug beer before beginning. First person to place their empty beer can in the middle gets a point. Run back to bike. Game on. If opponent scores first you play to another point. If you (the beer drinkin champ) hit it down, game over. Two point game. Continue.
How bout knife fights on the Helipad of a cruise ship from Canada to Mexico after a day 2 3 day tournament on their tennis courts or better still on their rollerskating rink
Mr.Anderson and I are gonna install one in the basement of my shop in the next day or two. Should be 10ftx15ft or so - can't wait!
5lowershop sunday night knife fights should be up and running in the next couple of weeks. need to wait for the turntables for the DJ's. Double Dutch will also be happening. And we have a beer vending machine. just cleared out the main space and built a bike rack so we won't have so much shit in the way. now we need some shorty boards so we're not chasin ghte ball all day.

awsome nigh!
It is played 1vs.1 and the point of the game is to knock down your opponents empty beer can. It is usually played in a small enclosed space such as a garage and the best out of 3 wins. At least that's how we play it in Chicago.
Midwest is best!!
