What else?
A bit far from Brussels (will take place in Austin, Texas), but Ladies Army III tournament’s poster looks great !
Still a few days left to see the “Terrain Dur” exhibition, made by our friends Guidoline
for the 11eme Festival des Cultures Urbaines in Canteleu (Fr)…
But it will then be visible at Le Havre (Fr) during 2 month for “Une saison Graphique” !!!
A lot of material from all over the world: great job, guys !
If you’re in Paris or plan to be there for Easter on next monday, there will be a “Search & Shoot” race, organized by our Surplace’s friends.
Concept is simple and already tested in China: you come with a friend to make a team (with your bikes of course), a camera, a Paris map and a pen. You’ll receive a list of targets to shoot, everywhere in the city, during 2 hours (no more), and will receive 1 point per target shot. Easy, isn’t it?
Filmed during the Madrid Bike Polo Open 1976 2011, here is a beautiful slow-mo video.
And music choice is perfect on those images. Enjoy !
(also visible on Vimeo)
Nice, nice stop-motion-style video from onecut:
you’ll see paris, sun, tits and ass, cougars, bunnies, bananas and baboons, all in one !
This year, the qualifying tournament to grab a ticket for the Euro Bike Polo Championships (June 24-26, Barcelona), took place in Haarlem (in the Netherlands, not Harlem!).
Because places are limited to 3 teams for the Benelux (10 for UK, 8 for Germany, 8 for France…), 3 teams from Antwerp and 2 from Brussels played hard against the Dutch teams.
But Belgians are not easy to eat: 2 teams are in the top 3!
Guacapolo from Brussels finished 2nd, Fishsticks 3rd place!

A few weeks ago, our friends from Antwerp decided to play 2 on 2 (instead of 3 vs 3) and teams were made on the spot.
Even some guys from Rouen/ Lille were there to play !
