coming this summer

New news

Well folks, in just a few short hours the beginning of the weekend will be upon us. That's good news for us here in Grand Rapids because that means we'll have buds coming to play polo with us all weekend. Party!

A few posts back I posted a picture of our new court....here's an updated picture from tonight...

We have lights now!! So pumped for this and will definitely be an added bonus for the weekend.

This picture also came across the Facebook lines today from our good buds, supporters, and club sponsor Central District Cyclery

They'll now be carrying Fixcraft stuff so that you can go buy more balls! Or build yourself a mallet. They have a pretty good stock right now so let's buy it all up so we can order more. Cool? Cool.

See you this weekend

August 17/18/19

We're having all kinds of shenanigans happening the weekend of August 17-19 that you should probably come up for. Polo, beers, buds, buds, beers, good hangs, and some kind of World Championship watch party. It's an open invite but let us know if you plan on making the trip!

Been a while....

So, we have a new court! With room for one more. Come play!

Harrison Park Clean-up

We've worked it out with the city to get the trailer full of gear to help clean-up the court at Harrison.

If you haven't heard we are getting boards after Bike Stock, a little prep now will make installation of these in a few weeks worth it.

Bring?
- a good attitude
- work gloves
- polo bike


Depending on how it goes, we'll probably play a few games once we're done.

RSVP on the Facebook event.

See you there!

A Lull.

Haven't been doing much around these parts other than our typical Thursday/Sunday pick up.

In my time off from tournaments I've been trying to build up my funds to get to more tournaments. Funny how that works. I also was able to get canti mounts on my Bruiser, so now I'll be able to stop when I'm racing you to the ball on the joust. Party.

See you in Waterloo, Milwaukee, and Louisville.

There you go, Zach.

Captain of Team Cockring

Tomorrow's Thursday night polo marks the goodbye of a GR bike polo OG, Casey Cronkright. Temporarily anyway.

He took a job as a medical gypsy and for the next few months will tackle some of Anchorage Alaska's health issues. Bear bites, hypothermia, and never knowing what time it actually is because the sun is still up.

Hopefully he makes his way back someday soon so we can continue to call out his shots every time he makes his way around to the right and tries to shoot it in front of his wheel from behind the goal.

I'm going to miss that shithead.

5 on 5 Polo

What do you do when you have 10+ players come out to play polo on a single court? You play 5-on-5 of course. Well, after you play a number of normal 3-on-3 games why not make the most out of the opportunity.

And that's what we did on Thursday night.

We played with a few unique rules for the 5-on-5 game, which went as followed:

Game Length - 2 Halfs: 20 minutes or first to 10
Mechanical - Out for Half
5 Dabs - Out for Half

Final Score, 6-4 I believe.

What's wrong?

New "there's an ap for that" development...Josh McBryde discovers remotely activated brake lever, can select anywhere between 0 & 100 % brake pull via iPhone. Still working out the bugs.
