  2. Last sunday we shot the children’s program “Proefles”, from Dutch TV Channel VPRO. Players from all over the country (and France!) gathered for a great afternoon of Polo. We’re looking forward to the result. In the meantime, check the pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ehvfxd/6231515628/in/set-72157627863113238

  4. Another brilliant Polo video. This time about the Bristol Open, celebrated last weekend and won by London’s Team Spring Break. 

  5. The World Championship of Hardcourt Bike Polo took place last week in Seattle, USA. French Champions - and one of our favorite teams - Call me Daddy, made it all the way to the final. They lost 5 - 4 against Canadian team Crazy Canucks. If you see the video you can easily identify the differences between the American style of playing and the European. Why do we like the European style better?   Because it doesn’t involve endless elbowing, takes more skill and is a joy to watch. 

    Congrats to Call me Daddy and keep up the excellent work. You guys are masters!

  9. Amsterdam Polo Brotherhood @ London Open 2011!!!

      

    Giulio, Alex, Tom, Biancha, Raul and adopted brother Jamal (from Eindhoven) went to the already famous London Open tournament (this is the second edition) and we had a wonderful time!

    Incredible high lever on the organisation (impeccable in every aspect), the level of playing and the good vibes shared with players from the continent. The closest we ever been to a Woodstock-like experience.

    The final was truly electrifying with the Swiss-German team Supersonic beating french champions Call me Daddy 5 - 1. 

    One of the sweetest things witnessed was the team Warin, formed by three brothers from Bristol. One of them, Alfie (aged 12), was the youngest Polo player anybody has seen on a tournament. Despite being a really cool little guy, he was a very good player! We lost our voice while cheering for his team on saturday. Watch him on the family picture, top right, wearing a red t-shirt and being carried by Giulio. 

    Can barely wait for next year’s!!!!
