Watch those mallets. So we are going to think about how to deal with high mallets, it seems that east van has some thoughts on this. Probably a good idea for bike polo in general.

I'll say this just once more: call those central Wisconsin ski resorts and ask about going through their old rental equipment. Ben and I went out to a trash mountain place last night and picked these 120 decent to great poles out of a few hundred that had been laying around for a few years. The rental shop guy charged us 20 dollars.

first day with the roller hockey ball
Submitted by kevin on Sun, 2008-02-24 19:59. bike polo | small ball
Jonny built up about a dozen awesome mallets, but we still have to work on getting lighter more modern ski poles.
We also need to get the right balls, cause we busted through two orange balls today that are too hard/brittle for the 32ºF weather.
I found myself looking down at the ball a lot more than usual, and i'm so far frustrated at not having a hockey-style angle on my mallet for stick-handling, and being able to keep my head up to look around. also i was surprised by the amount of ricocheting and bouncing and chasing after the wild ball... means a lot more biking than before. i think the big ball game is still faster, but less going in tight circles.
And despite a big spill when my chain snapped, it was a good start...

Bike Polo in Galway in the 1930s
Submitted by kev on Thu, 2008-01-10 11:42. bike polo | galway | hurling | ireland | patrick hunt
I learned only recently that my grandfather played a lot of polo in Ireland. Yesterday i had the chance to ask him more about it, and i recorded it. So here he is talking about playing hardcourt polo on the Courthouse Square in Galway in the 1930s and the inspiration and equipment they got from the awesome Gaelic sport, hurling.
