I formed a team with Bianca and Jamal, we named ourselves Bride of Franklinstein, and we had a heck of a lot of fun. We won all 6 qualifier games, finishing 3rd in the rankings for the finals. We then demolished Berlin's Rakete in 4 minutes, before succumbing to Karlsruhe's Shark Attack in a tense 4-3 semi-final.<br /><br />Bambule took the trophy, which was definitely a deserved win. Sharks came second and we tied for 3rd with Polosynthese.<br /><br />All in all an awesome weekend of polo. Lots of friendly faces, great games and plenty of laughs. As a team, we'd never previously played together, but this won't be our last outing. We might need to change the team name next time though.

So, the launch of Resist now means there is a new platform to release all sorts of nonBMX bits n pieces...which leaves Volume to go back to following it's true roots in BMX - awesome plan I think. <div><br /></div><div>So fingers x'd we might start seeing some Bike Polo parts from Resist in the near future. </div><div><br /></div><div>Watch this Resist space.</div><div><br /></div><div>-Mat</div></div>Cosmichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10596930377088277866noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924915018087378144.post-14395526358389199002010-09-19T02:56:00.001-07:002010-09-19T02:57:27.091-07:00Beautiful BMX EditThe filming in this short BMX edit is stunning...you gotta love any thing shot in slow mo...<div><br /></div><div><object width="400" height="225"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13557939&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=1&color=&fullscreen=1&autoplay=0&loop=0"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=13557939&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=1&color=&fullscreen=1&autoplay=0&loop=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/13557939">7D 1000 fps</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/user4329703">Oton Bačar</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p></div><div><br /></div><div>-Mat</div>Cosmichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10596930377088277866noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924915018087378144.post-18154033795579028892010-09-19T02:16:00.000-07:002010-09-19T02:46:02.486-07:00Pac Bike Polo Top Tube Pad - Review<div>The good guys at <a href="http://bricklanebikes.co.uk/">BLB</a> have given us each a custom made top tube pad which has be specifically designed to hold mallets and produced by Canadian bike bag brand <a href="http://www.pacdesigns.com/index.htm">PAC</a>.</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixwgbK_TRa9rX_nbPGaRtgsmRQLQWOSx8FWcEC5e_9XaRBeSmyJHJvhDW9uyk82PLt3DKBaf_DXbrtAmf64a2wgxJfkJ2F4t_suGCCVay72plsPeXJTi2F2XOk6qNjikHIYL6XqIXPIzY/s1600/IMG_0406.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixwgbK_TRa9rX_nbPGaRtgsmRQLQWOSx8FWcEC5e_9XaRBeSmyJHJvhDW9uyk82PLt3DKBaf_DXbrtAmf64a2wgxJfkJ2F4t_suGCCVay72plsPeXJTi2F2XOk6qNjikHIYL6XqIXPIzY/s400/IMG_0406.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518552578328835554" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivo80PbKxnRdl7FSS3dbbKTR2zatluDC-16lyl47OVnDC_vzLoN-gskBGy5EJg9AnXajS6iLXRh7yMMe2nPIDzBNJoNqmBU4O-yhHvI9HEB7v8XfpdCvzYj3Hpi5Fq8V1NvgC_U6P8jQU/s1600/IMG_0409.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivo80PbKxnRdl7FSS3dbbKTR2zatluDC-16lyl47OVnDC_vzLoN-gskBGy5EJg9AnXajS6iLXRh7yMMe2nPIDzBNJoNqmBU4O-yhHvI9HEB7v8XfpdCvzYj3Hpi5Fq8V1NvgC_U6P8jQU/s400/IMG_0409.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518552459412765106" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKXYolXlb2SxFytc7leFkJXuqWbLg18ZXHGfqWovT-HvOImiEBLSSufS0_XO107F2UYGYsDQfQyWFSzxJVxMCW4KsfFbZPZFTZGUy8sF-DlD-c47BlUvPsY03vnbvdVU05PtSBI1fOymo/s1600/IMG_0411.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKXYolXlb2SxFytc7leFkJXuqWbLg18ZXHGfqWovT-HvOImiEBLSSufS0_XO107F2UYGYsDQfQyWFSzxJVxMCW4KsfFbZPZFTZGUy8sF-DlD-c47BlUvPsY03vnbvdVU05PtSBI1fOymo/s400/IMG_0411.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5518552377438018242" /></a><br />I was so in need of this item because using cut inner tubes as mallet straps just wasn't fitting the image + now my cable and (rusty) top tube get's a bit of protection!<div><br /></div><div>Having now used the pad for a few weeks I can honestly say the design is spot on for function. The design itself is simple...the pad is of a tough material construction with full length velcro closure. Then to strap the mallets on (fits two comfortably), two lengths of velcro at either end of the pad are used, which wrap around the mallet shaft holding firmly in place - simple, but effective. </div><div><br /></div><div>My pad is in solid black (an assortment of colours are available) with a little PAC tag stitched on one side. Overall, the design is very clean and does it's job perfect. The only downside is I can no longer see the 'eye of cosmic' sticker which is stuck on the top tube, thus I can't look at it to gain cosmic strength. I'm sure the eye will burn through the pad eventually, but perhaps a cosmic x pac colour way is needed?</div><div><br /></div><div>Anyway....the standard PAC Bike Polo top tube pad is def worth a purchase.</div><div><br /></div><div>Available now to buy for £25 from <a href="http://bricklanebikes.co.uk/">BLB</a> and <a href="http://www.blbbigmama.co.uk/">Big Mama</a>for EU distro .</div><div><br /></div><div>-Mat</div>Cosmichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10596930377088277866noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924915018087378144.post-40088660807878571102010-09-18T04:03:00.001-07:002010-09-18T04:05:46.169-07:00Cosmic Balloon Art<div>See at the <a href="http://www.haunchofvenison.com/en/">Haunch of Venision Gallery</a> ...</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSlMgyne1_bC4FhASi43g6XMp2n6EJ4q2sBLCopab7bVV0CJaYBm6PcH000ru-3kUI4UyYSp4VVVnLKsDH2r0aqf-keKB-fvAQ_ZgfUxw0b828xfF5-0aqu2z8EfYs2kcY4NobRoSVZZc/s1600/IMG_1103.jpg"><img style="display:block;

With the pressure there, I shot late only to hit the post! The good damn post! 9 times out of 10 I would have got that in...but it wasn't to be. I left the shot so late, I didn't even have the space to turn away from goal, so ended up crashing into it. Then Chris from The Odds picked up the loose ball went on the attack and to his credit scored a great goal to suddenly make it 3-3 with less than a min left.

Jump / trial frames are an option but I don't like the builds so much.<br /><br />The market is about to get flooded with 26" trick frames so more options will be available yet all of these will have long top tubes for bar spinning.<br /><br />I think the Joust is the nearest there is to what I want....<br /><br /><br />-Todd<br /><br /></span>Cosmichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10596930377088277866noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924915018087378144.post-61775842725473396342010-09-02T16:41:00.000-07:002010-09-02T16:50:25.717-07:00CULT<a href="http://www.cultcrew.com/cultblog">CULT</a> the NOS (new old skool) BMX brand...doing it how a bike brand should.<div><br /></div><div>Here's a walk through of the Cult Clubhouse with Big Rob-o...<br /><div><br /></div><div><object width="640" height="360"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="movie" value="http://yawnbmx.com/w/video.swf?v=451"><embed src="http://yawnbmx.com/w/video.swf?v=451" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="360"></embed></object><p><strong><a href="http://yawnbmx.com/2010/08/cult-walk-through/">Cult Walk Through</a></strong> from <strong><a href="http://yawnbmx.com/">Yawn BMX</a></strong></p></div><div><br /></div><div>Toddy should start offering walk throughs of his cosmic bedroom full of charms and trinkets...I've heard a lot of magic goes down in there between certain hours of the day.</div><div><br /></div><div>-Mat</div></div>Cosmichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10596930377088277866noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924915018087378144.post-5773006383159402722010-09-02T15:58:00.000-07:002010-09-02T16:23:54.033-07:00DIY CourtMaybe it's time London found some dead space and built a court like this... <div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:monospace, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mdS3q6RkKb4?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mdS3q6RkKb4?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:monospace, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:12px;"><br /></span></span></div><div>Everyone chipping in for a sheet of ply.</div><div><br /></div><div>Excited to see Polo in Tokyo...cosmic holiday destination next Autumn? </div><div><br /></div><div>Be good to see some Asia rep in the Worlds next year.</div><div><br /></div><div>-Mat</div>Cosmichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10596930377088277866noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924915018087378144.post-86076355816899512422010-09-01T14:26:00.000-07:002010-09-01T14:40:22.662-07:00Cosmic Mallet - May 2009<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsdfb4i_11KU1smsROqXf5mHH7-lSLrzBfZI0OYMNt7SZ5MbQc8EYvQGCdZHbRZHf0Wg85yMUWqJiG9WHmROh10f6N7_4793d0R7ZQGcR0RNLYSapc65KITSlJQl2ofnRmZkVCW7_X2DM/s1600/Mallet.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsdfb4i_11KU1smsROqXf5mHH7-lSLrzBfZI0OYMNt7SZ5MbQc8EYvQGCdZHbRZHf0Wg85yMUWqJiG9WHmROh10f6N7_4793d0R7ZQGcR0RNLYSapc65KITSlJQl2ofnRmZkVCW7_X2DM/s400/Mallet.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5512061815827828578" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I was just going over some old images from the days when Cosmic first formed right up to the present day, and was really surprised to see how much we've progressed! Even the game we play today and all the equipment we use is so far from what we started out with. Bikes have been and gone, beards have grown, team logo has changed, tournaments have been played, friends have been made, and god knows how many mallets we've been through!!!<br />So nice to look back at our history and have so many fond memories.<br /><br />And throughout all the changes, it seems the 'eye' has always been with us.<br /><br />Long live Cosmic!<br /><br /><br />-Todd<br /><br /><br /></span>Cosmichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10596930377088277866noreply@blogger.com0
