London Fixed-gear and Single-speed SJS Cycles

was trying to be 'sensible' but it goes against my nature...

sparks from spds+concrete as I crashed was good, I like that look!

Stelle - was impressed and intimidated in equal measure by your ability to crash out brutally and get back in the game so quickly...especially when some of the crashes were so close to a 5 storey drop!

great games last night folks, estelle its a good thing i know you so well, otherwise i'd be like .."who's the fucking bruiser on the pista?" a particulary nice head on collision we had too, the 'ooooof' that came from both of us was echoed by the spectators.
nice one joel, evan, robb, hops, dt, trevor, em, alison (hello). Aiden where were you? I 'spotted' you on the way there, so close yet so far away...
we own the night. and were getting good too. Jonny i felt all limp when i saw the lack of copacepitism... ;(

i had to see a man about a dog...was it you that shouted at me?
im going to let you guys get some more practice in before i attend :)

yup that was me, have you changed your bars, it looked like you had bullhorns?

this be true matey!...im surprised your saw me,i was in my stealth suit going at warp speed.
in the last few weeks i have acquired new pedals a new chain new break lever and new handle bars...if feels goood!

it takes a ninja to spot a ninja ;)

well then....you shall experience my wu tang style at polo next week..

En garde, I'll let you try my wu-tang mallet…

Bring the mutha-fuckin' ruckus, bring the mutha-fuckin' ruckus.

:-P

:)

Choose the mallet, and you will join me
Choose the ball, and you join your team... in defeat
You don't understand my words, but you must choose
So... come boy, choose life or death.

do you know a don rodriguez from the bronx?

is that him singing his heart out like a fucknig bird?

nope! i just found this photo and thought it was some how appropriate

Well it's not.

try harder.

well that is in fact the AC Milan team at a Wu Tang gig...the shirt was suppose to say "i belong to genius" but the twat at the printers got it wrong

nice 70's ac milan top from bill

coffe and cigs?

brilliant film

never saw it actually, i like ghost dog, but a mate of mine who's opinion i respect most humbly told me not to bother watching it in the cinema and i've never gotten round to the dvd yet.

i really liked it, but im into the whole two people talking thing, and have generally shit taste in all things.

two people talking is a good thing in a film most def, what can i say, i like pinter...alot.

at my pops yesterday and he was watching some show that is in a psychologist office and its just him and his patient talking for the whole show.... it was interesting.

how about 10 its an iranian film all set in a taxi. Fascinating but i couldnt figure out if it was real or not...anyway peckham car park eh chris? woooooooo how about it?

have heard of 10 form my iranian ex, but never got around to seeing it in english....

never been there, will go when i get back.

Damn it seems i've missed this thread. Would love to try some polo, is it ok that i have no polo experiance? and if so when is the next one, and where exactly is the car park cause i don't know peckham that well. thanks

car park should be on places, and time should be on top. to play you have to have won at least 3 Olimpic gold metals in the sport of theives. if you have enver been shamed by a bronze then you are not allowed to attended.

and there is a sunday one on brick ln and bethnal green rd 2ish pm.

everything chris wrote is true...including the Olympic gold medals

all welcome - the more the merrier

You don't need experience, mallets, or ball - we will have everything

south side polo is every wednesday at 7:30

location:

wow that map is really good - who drew that? ;-)

i'm annoyed i missed polo on wednesday, but this week has been a bit crap, altho at least my bike was not abused by estelle
i really gotta get my polo bike sorted

who's up for tonight!!!???!!! I have new polo gearing on me old 'pete luxton' all sorted and wanna give it a go?
B

Yeah, I'm in for tonight. After a few weeks of missing polo, I feel it's time to hurl myself and my new bike to the ground a few times.

i'm game as well after a few week's absence

On the way back from Brick Lane on Sunday through Lewisham I found another SE spot that looks great for dicking around on bikes. The Quaggy Ball Park on Lewisham Road junction with Orchard Hill. Fenced in floodlit at night and open 24 hours. The wavy thing casting a shadow at the bottom of the satellite view is a 50 foot long bench for spectators
Google Map

i hope to be there

i'm in.

Can someone bring a tennis ball? I'm wanting to try a few different balls to see how they are with polo. James lent me a street hockey ball which i'll bring along as well as the usual normal hockey ball.

Man-flu! Not tonight folks...

why do you want to try another ball..is the original ball not working at the south london pitch?

i think the saftey issue has been highlighted
the dent in dave's frame is massive, and thats metal, so it could do a heck of a lot of damage to a human
also balls have been popping up in the south, uneven surfaces

i cant come along because im babysitting, (means i get loadsamoney!) but next week ill be along with my new oldsworth polo bike, which i managed to scrape together for £25! but have fun this week.

what are you...some kind of pofta!

i'm not asking for a different ball, just explaining the problem

and im just asking if you are some kind of pofta.

no. well not unless you want me to be ;)

are you coming down tonight aidan? or are you some kinda pofta?

skoota i would run ride rings around ya :) but i have important work to finish for Thursday so just use this day as another practice session.

you are a pofta, you wanna ride round my ring. Fine you just keep teasing us sarfeys with your Narfey ways...

Im in!

I like my teeth! Experimenting with different balls is a great idea dt ;)

yeah trev... i can't find any T balls here, anybody def bringing one?
