Honolulu Bike Polo blog

I haven't been as on it with updates and I apologize but polo is still going strong here in Honolulu. Jorge is still recovering from his accident. We are still putting together a bike for him so any and all help you can donate to the project is appreciated. In the mean time I do like these two photos that were taken recently. Oh and these dope wheel covers that were printed as prizes from the Broken Coconuts tourney by Jinxy . Thanks again Jinxy.

The Broken Coconut tourney went down well. It started a lil late but once it was under way it was unstoppable. The games got more intense as the day progressed. Congrats to team Tupperware for winning the tourney. One of greatest things I can say about playing polo in paradise isnt that we have some great sceneary with the ocean side courts and lush green mountains. No its the chill level headed people we meet and get the chance to share time with on and off the polo court.

Polo is going down at the race tomm. Schwenke is one of the event coordinators and a bunch of the polo guys are in the race. The details are below so head out to Barbers point and have some race fun and bbq followed by polo.

Here are some random photos just to let you know polo is still thriving in Hawaii. Clark helped some kids fix a flat like the good guy he is this past week. When its sunny we play, when its dark we play, when it rains we still play. Ill be better about updates...

Matt Ching aka Pedal Piff conjured this idea up a while back and told me about it. Im stoked its here finally. I think the status is obvious...while on a bike dodge the ball or hit another person with the ball. Same rules as dodge ball but on bikes kids. Come out this Weds it'll go down at 5pm at Makiki park and continue in between polo pickups till no ne is left riding a bike. Eilif spent his vacation nights doodling up this dope poster for the event. Come check it out it'll be a great time.

Polo has continued to grow and thrive in paradise. I apologize for the lack of photos on the blog as my camera has been busy filming for another polo related project so it contains less footage that is able to be shown at this time. If your at the polo court with a camera and your shooting or filming between games and want it up on the blog feel free to send them to me or drop me a disc or thumb drive at pickup games.

I arrive home today after a long days work, tired from lack of sleep due to last nights wind storm. I go to the fridge and reach for a cold pint of "Japans oldest beer" I say "Wassup?" to the mutt and take a sat. On the counter I see in the stack of bills an issue of Honolulu Magazine. HNL Bike polo has not had very much media attention and we are all pretty stoked that we got some publicity via Honolulu's most widely read magazine. I personally enjoyed the article it touches on polo history of the world for a second and then brings it back to our growing thriving scene in Honolulu.

This past weekend involved one of our best polo celebrations yet. We helped celebrate Clarks birthday with some beer, cake, a pinata, and of course polo. Everybody had a great time as far as I could tell, but was I really a good judge of the matter? Possibly not. Keeping this one short and sweet here are some flicks from the celebration (Caution some may be offended by our cakes of choice) and come on out to WEDS POLO tomorrow 6pm at Makiki.

I haven't updated in a while, Ive been sick and over taken by this semester. We have been having a good amount of success holding polo twice a week lately. The day that seems to work the best is Weds. We have been playing at our usual spot at 6pm for three weeks now and the turn out while it started meek has turned into nothing short of our usual Sunday crowd. Hopefully we can keep this twice a week going.

A bunch of us have been pushing now to try and solidify a weekday to play polo on. While we strived for Weds. they never seemed to come together. A bunch of us kicked around the idea of playing on Tuesday night this week and while there was a decent amount of people who said they could make it the numbers of those who actually showed were small. Enough showed up for 2v2 and we didn't let that deter our evening of polo. Nor did we let me fucking up lengthening of my chain. It took Clark, Josh, and I way to long to piece my chain back together in the dark.

So this week has been a rough one for polo. This month rather. We are running through mallet heads, shafts, forks, chainrings, and rims. The damaged goods are stacking tall these days. Fucking Danny was in for a couple and promptly off back to Cali after some beer, whiskey, and polo. It was good to have him back even if only for an hour or two. I didnt get to many flicks this week as there was another photogrpaher on the court. But here is a couple of broken pieces from my own collection.
