Walked by Grandview Park soon after I moved to Vancouver, saw these cool dudes bashing at each other and was captivated. Martin told me about the game, Chris lent me a bike, I played a game and was hooked... |

In the early days in Strathcona Park tennis courts. We had these hard plastic mallets, sort of in the shape of golf putters, which didn't quite work. But Jim, James, and others kept on encouraging me on to come out to Grandview court. After... |

Rory Bear dragged me out to the night court one night in October 2007. All I had was this dirt jump bike with disc brakes and all. After playing with that bike for a couple of weeks I realized it was a tank and got a new ride. My first tourney... |

Riding past the night courts one night, someone hollered at me to play so I turned around and gave it a shot. Hooked ever since. As soon as I could rig up a polo bike I came back, making due with a crappy hard-tail mountain bike. |

Pieter had been trying to get me out to bike polo for months. I started thinking seriously about it after meeting Patricia and Jim at PEDAL while she was building her fixed gear (I had ridden mine there). That was October 2006. It took me... |

I remember asking Gentleman James one day what the heck those weird sticks were that he was carrying around in his bag. He told me it was for bike polo and I went down to check it out. Would have been mid-september 2006, at Strathcona Parc! <... |
