The new alliance enables users to quickly search for seats contextually via theScore.com to buy their sports tickets in real-time, safely and securely.

A dedicated advocate for traditions, Shanghai Tang has announced their annual Polo Cup’s return to Mongolia from August 27 to  August 29, where Genghis Khan’s warriors once played the regal sport. Polo has been long lost to Mongolian culture but has recently been revived to breed the next generation of world-class polo players. Mongol players play up their heritage by attiring in traditional costumes worn by their mighty cavalry ancestors. With a strong sense of heritage and one of the world’s most breathtaking and well-preserved landscape, this polo match seems promising as an equestrian’s dream come true. Here are some of the event photos from Shanghai Tang Polo Cup’s last visit in Mongolia in 2006.

Well, it’s pretty darn simple; Polo with a modified mallet, usually in a hockey rink and hockey nets on a bike. A variety of characters hit the concrete to take a wack at the ball and pick serious speed.  It is a game of skill, having to maintain balance on the bike while keeping an eye on the ball and the opponents net. Chosen rides range from cruiser to high end fixies. I am going to subject myself to BP next week and will probably head out with a single speed for weight, speed and the ability to not kill everyone in the game. BP is fun to watch, can get hairy and brings a freshness to NEWSPORT. That’s what we call “hybrid” or “new” sports hitting our streets. If you can get out and catch a game of Bike Polo, do it.]]> http://www.spokeagency.com/daily/2010/08/03/bike-polo/feed/ 1 http://www.spokeagency.com/daily/2009/12/09/the-bandwagon/ http://www.spokeagency.com/daily/2009/12/09/the-bandwagon/#comments Thu, 10 Dec 2009 04:01:26 +0000 Jeff Greenspoon http://www.spokeagency.com/daily/?p=219 FanXchange.com for that stat!). Nonetheless, I will remain on the bandwagon. Go Leafs Go.]]> http://www.spokeagency.com/daily/2009/12/09/the-bandwagon/feed/ 0
