Yang Cheng Lin is the owner of breakbrake17 THE fixed gear boutique in Taipei (awesome name btw). Again, Recep will be enjoying some beers with him and his friends, who are the taipei fixed gear scene-pushers. This times occasion is these guys’ second event; the P.D.P #2. “Pedal it, don’t push it!” is the claim of this annual showdown. P.D.P. #2 will present Taiwans first official bike polo demonstration, besides trick and bunny hop contests, in a carneval atmosphere. The happening will be during the Taipei Cycle Show by Watergate 16 at the Keelung River. We’ll see if MO will be able to impress these great guys; I heard he sent them some mallets for this event..

Today, Marc from the CCC came along to show us his new tattoo. His passion for music, doing movies and bikepolo came together in person of Monkey Mo. It seems that in top of this another part of his live is hidden..

Last weekend we had the first edition of the Greif Masters Indoor Polo tourney here in Karlsruhe. After weeks of preparation the event turned out pretty good and we are very satisfied with the result. Even a second edition can be supported here :D. Lots of pictures you can find here: Agata, Gabes, Roxy, Daniele, Lory and Kev. Videos you can find here, here and here. Alexander Schindel, a photographer, member of Bikepolo Karlsruhe and Metz, Schindel & Söhne has made a photo campaign of faces of european bikepolo. check details here.

This weekend we have been busy with Greif Masters preparation.. Now everything is in schedule and we are super excited for the next weekend. Check pics here.

As it was little complicated to get a proper netted goal in the right size we like to play with at the Greif Masters next weekend, so we decided to make an own one out of 60mm aluminum tubes. Size should be 180x80x45cm, foldable and has to have an elastic band as upper bar to avoid the goalie to brace on it. With such kind of goals, no further goal refs are needed and a clear decision concerning the height of the shot being a goal or not can be made. Thanks to Ingo Müller frameworks who did the handcraft.. Check the rest on flickr.

If you have your new years eve in Amsterdam accidentally, you should check the New Year´s Polo throw in tournament there. At january the 2nd, Amsterdam FiXXXed, FUCCIT and EHVFXD host the first bikepolo date of the new year. Check all the details here.

Right before Christmas (yeah!) we received a package from Terry at Reynolds. He sent over some special tubes made out of seamless, cold worked 3-2,5 titanium. The tubes used are some longer seatstays tapered from 18x0,5 to 15x0,7mm at the tip.

In cooperation with Schwalbe, Solo and Brooks, FIXIE Inc. and Bikepolo Karlsruhe are proud to announce the first indoor bikepolo tournament in Karlsruhe next february.
