PoloPOnee ConstruGXion


Necsssity is the muh=ther of invention, which means that there'z some offspring of Poloponee bikez being crafted care of Nirad, Kendoll and of course Devon$. Several worthy candidate bikez, who are ready to serve out another more focused existence on the field have been ID'd as trusty steeds. A coupla six flipflophubz and a fat tire or two, maybe even a foot brake...
Since fixee sans brakez is the purest, most circular form of the sport, we'll make that our standard. ...and we'll flip or flop for major tourneys. The Stompa and Dennis Hopper still shine as the archetypal polo bikez.

G'wood polo nights, when to do'em... Where? Sayre Park?
We gots ta get some more black ABS mallets made. (this stuff does not shatter like PVC) Maybe try the smaller, 1 1/2" dia. and keep 'em lighter.
Bonedale polo barn? Can we play in Sopris Park? I truly believe that we have nothing to hide.... except the beer, smoke, and bikeporn. ...and wouldn't it be better to not be on "school groundz."

Pic-chard here, we got a SZ poloponee named MARtINI. (I don't drink them) Iz an old aluminum frame that was already run as SS, which will "not experience microfractures that could affect the structural integrity of the machine." The thought is: 24" w/ 3.0 DH tire in front with a 9er rigid fork. (just a bit shorter than a 26, and with a smaller reach-around wheel) Probly have some kinda brake in the back.

Get yer clunkerz out and give 'em a big POlo hug. The games are about to begin...

WhatEV!




Holy Crap!, all this concern for the Future! Oh jeeez Please! Yesterday constituted the single greatest haul of vinyl for this lil stompA EVA! With timing and preperation being what they are in 'ol BRkLyN sRoundZ and I rolled out of the spot around 6, busted up kent slicin wind like it was no big thing and slid into the n6th lala land in no time. . He went to retrieve Mr. Blur-Pezzimenti's tele/cele from Lovin'CUp and I bolted into Academy records. The first thing that I put a hand on was 'Dead on Arrival - Dedicated in his absence to the nefarious chameleon'. Dropped it on the counter and proceeded to grab 'Get that feeling' Hendrix Plays & Curtis Knight sings', 'Blood Sweat and tears' Johnny Cash featuring the Legend of john henry's Hammer, Gil Scott Heron & Brian jackson '1980', and the incomparable James Brown Live at the Apollo Vol. 2 from 1968. And a $15 tecnics w/o power cord, did i mention Kevin Bewersdorf is moving here tomorrow? All of which slipped real nice in the StompA Sack for the high speed bomb to the shop where all was well. . Many hours later, after being blown away by the Lisa Yuskavage show at zwirner, and being gloriously lucky enough, thanks to the Greater BRN -Ann y Isla connection, to see MMW in the west village.. and listening to JB all the way through / Hendrix, Johnny Cash, and painting the door, passing out and waking up, did I listen to 'Dead on Arrival'

Holy Crap, screw the future! a silly rad compilation from '78 featuring barely a fraction of artists' I've ever heard of and having not one bad track, (I'm on side c and the reggae is goin' off) the star alignment remains silly fresh. Now I've got to get all these babies burned onto CD for STOmpAZ WorldWIDE!!!! See you at PureFood n wine tonight for door hangin' dinner PARTY!!

xoxoxo slappy

p.s. don't worry about Cali- they've been asking for it anyway, Bruce'll probably take care of those silly robots out of the goodness of his own heart. .

PPS until I get to spin this stuff for Ya! Be WelL!

PPPPS we may or may not be lining up a Vinyl spinning session tuesday night at the Five Spot Soul Food Restaraunt! on MrtyLe. . Tuesday night next. . details on the way. . m

Arnold was right all along


So the news of the day ain't too pretty. Linda Hamilton is seriously gonna have to do some more pull-ups to save us. i'm predicting 2017 but really that's just a guess. One of you stompas hopefully will be in shape to save the day, Bruce Willis style o' course...



Scandinanvian Half Breeds

Well, what a pleasure was had watching these guys play last night, sheesh! Pete 'The Blur" Pezzimenti is one of my Main Men spinnin' wrenches at the shop, and I almost ended up at an MMW show last night; instead watched a young posse, with their elder Drummer celebrating his birthday as of midnight, and was quite simply smitten by their musique. .They're signed up to play the BROoklynBIKEyB 12 Week Open Party on MArch 12th. somewhere 'round there. . m

SuUUM Som STompARZ I LUV U

Hay there all ya'll great and glorious STOMpRZ, , it seems like the time is now in ol broooklyn, for some stompn to get stompD and for that I am eternally grateful.


In the words of Mr. James Brown, remarked during his August 1968 show at the Apollo about NYC, "I come here to DO Buisness, you hear what I mean?"

And So since I've had the pleasure of meeting not one, but two, fine young STomPAZ, in the form of Coleen and Eva, both of whom have recently come into possession of red racing cycles, one a 1984 ish Treck 330, and the other a more recent Specialized Allez al. And They look fast! And they wanna STomP it appears. .
So the idea for a Ladies Racing Squad out of the shop was born. . .ooh about 5 hours ago. Scott Rounds,
(name in t it should be noted, added the ingredient I was looking for, Fierce, after FastY had been tagged on our drawing wall. Wicked..(( Cuz Scott is from VT and he is MAin Man Bringin IT On the POLOPOnY Squad, as in, we've made two mallets out of the stock he was holdin, and one of his was custom made by a friend of his in Burlington, who happened to have just prototyped it at burton. NBD And he crashed into me over the bars HARD last night at the front of the Times UP Love your Lane ride. . Wicked

and so yeah, we gots another local incarnation of STOMPN
The FastYfierce Bike SQuad

Anyway INquires invited at among other things, the shop, and the interweb brand new blog, holy crap i'm going computerblind. .

GOOD THING KEVIN BEWERSDORF IS ON THE TEAM!!! or at least I hope so, he has released a new song, and is moving to nyc tomorrow or something. The first explanation on Stomparillaz Whip creation will be a bike for Kevin. . WHoooOP!

I ought to beddy bye now, big day at the ol shop tomorrow. . .

Stompa Sum It Up


The syncing of tunes was actually pretty effective. Great ricocheting drum beats.

Besides a newcircuitous route and a cop with the flu, we had a supporter of peace and quiet? throw a snowball at us toward the end! It missed. He almost got out in front of the BoomStracycle to try to stop it, and then had a flash of brilliance.. I think he yelled something about Audio-City... ...or maybe it was "audacity."

Let's figure out how to get input from: Snorky & SnoozerYaYaSlappyJVTDeVeRoe.LeBowsKiStaazee,MEATheadMANimal,GavinROGR@koreanhotmale.sexDieselDan.NIraDKenDollCHrizBSlickCollettealope & The Great White HopEHUmpbikesRth'enemyWhoStino,Will....>

Polo anyone???

Yo fellas
Anyway, we have picked a date for the Great Mountain States Grass Polo
Tourney on March 7th in Lyons, Colorado. Hosted by Oskar Blues Brewery.
Takes place on Saturday. Teams of 3 will round robin in the morning with the
playoffs in the afternoon. Announcer for the playoffs, post tourney meal and
party afterwards. We play simple rules of no dabbing, no bike on bike
defense, and a gentleman's approach in general. Let me know if you can get a
couple teams together and spread the word. I will post more info in 1 week
on www.sswc09.wordpress.com.

Peace
Cheeney

-Thanks for the info Cheeney. i'm sure a crew of stompaz will make our way to the field. say word!
