London Open 2010

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

The Berlin Bike Polo Worlds just finished, most of us didn’t had enough time to come down back to reality and heal the wounds: the London Open 2010 was already on the horizon, just a few days after.
Many teams decided to go directly from Berlin to London… I told you Bike Polo was same as drug !

We all met for the registration at “Look Mum No Hands” on friday evening, and after a short night, the 150 players joined at the Newington Gardens to play at least 4 games on Saturday.
Sunday were the “Winners-Losers” brackets

Big Thanks to Jono and Andy (who couldn’t unfortunately join because of his job), for the fantastic organization, to Gabes, Wayne, 14BikeCo and the community that helped out, especially the people that made food for everybody !
That was the first, but the London Open should become an annual tournament that evolves year-on-year to attract the best teams from around the globe.

Now, we can sit down with a beer, hands and legs broken, and while the washing machine cleans the blood off our shirts, watch the first pictures from those 3 days.

Pics taken by Morti are visible here, or on the Brussels Bike Polo Flickr gallery

Roxy’s pictures are here, and the London Open 2010 group on Flickr has been created: everybody can now post its shoots ! More should come…

See you next year in London !

Lil’ Throw In Tournament

Saturday, June 12th, 2010

The Lil’Throw In was a succes! Weather was first really bad, but little by little, the sun came back, with spectators. 42 players, 14 teams from Lille, Rouen, Paris, London and Brussels. A great organisation, nice prices and a lot of fun. Here’s a short selection of pictures, more should come in a second set !

A rider from Brussels in the “Velo” book

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Le week-end dernier, j’ai trouvé le livre “Velo”, qui donne un large aperçu de cette culture qui nous uni, avec des portraits de coursiers, des illustrations, photos vintage et actuelles, une visite chez un cadreur ou un designer, quelques pages sur les Alley Cat, ces courses à check-point…

Last week-end, I found the book “Velo”, wich gives a large view on that culture we make and love. Inside of it, bike-messenger portraits, illustrations, vintage pictures, Alley Cat races photographies…

Et puis, page 85, une silhouette familière

… and at p.85, I recognized someone !

Hey, Kardama !

Press, magazines, TV, now books… What media haven’t the Brussels riders touched yet?
