The most fun you'll have on two wheels – Since 2006
Despite the remnants of the NEMO blizzard still lingering, our little Boston polo scene is still hustling.
We had 5 teams make it to hockeytown last Sunday for our first ever “team night”. See the videos down below.
That was good warm up for Tyler and Zac who are road tripping from Boston to Austin for the
And Jav was getting fired up to play with Lomax (pitt) and Paul (new york) at the Great Lake Winter Classic By now Jav is the first seed going into Sundays double elimination rounds.
Nature has been a kind kind mother the past few Sundays. We came to check on the court after a slushy and cold week and expected a schwag ice/snow combo across the boards. But to our stoke we found our space fully primed for a beefy sunday session. The Sun came out, Naomi made her return after being away in Berlin, and Gus brought his camera and captured a few moments, which we’d like to share with you:
Up close and personal with Rad Caps

Boston bike polo is flocking to the suburbs tonight, Saugus to be exact, for some indoor winter polo. We want to play polo real bad but our courts are covered in an few inches of ice and snow (see the picture?). It would be too much work to clear off the courts manually, so we are opting to travel and rent some court time from our friends at Hockeytown USA. We also get the bonus of a Hooters right next door for a DANK polo/wings combo! Look forward to some sweet instagrams tonight, and hopefully some pro pictures from Gus later on
This sunday Ruben showed up with a legit (car) stereo, that shit can crank! All it needs is a better set of speakers. He also brought along a new mallet with some next level mallet head attachment innovation. Feast your eyes!

Its winter – the sun is going down early and we only have streetlight to illuminate our pickup courts. So we head to hockeytown for some fully-lit polo with Northampton, MA and Burlington, VT joining to make it all the merrier. Those who hadn’t experienced it before took a moment to warm to the mylec surface and before long everyone got in some solid polo.
Rumor has it this will be the courts for the 2013 NAH Easyside Regional Qualifiers…
Gus and Sydney posted some photos….
And then you can hit up hooters next door to make it a dank combo
If you’ve played polo in Boston you’ve seen Gus out on the battlegrounds shooting photos. He was at it again this Sunday and he managed to get some killer shots of some BBP cats. Be sure to visit his website HERE
Sunday was filled with a lot of hype for Tropical Storm Sandy. The weather was shifting, the wind was howling but was no match for Rubens newest sound system.
This drill box turned speaker was seriously bumping
And this was the drill battery which powered the whole setup
The Commonwealth Classic hosted by US, Boston Bike Polo went off last weekend without a hitch. We had amazing weather BOTH days, great teams from all over. We had 2 teams from each Bangor, ME and New York, NY, one full Burlington, VT team, another from Northampton, MA, and Boston had 4 teams in the running. Saturday was a net-bulging round robin and every team got at least on match up with every other squad.
Boston’s WHITE FANG made up of Papi, Addison and Jamie came out on top after a grueling fangfull double final. The home team boys squeaked in the sudden-death winning goal to keep The Commonwealth Cup in Boston for its first year. Get training for next year!
