Or it is the booze (Alzheimer’s disease). But last year there was an expo about the fixed gear shit in Amsterdam at Mediamatic called Sur Place. And apparently a Dutch newspaper made a little movie about the trent of riding fixed gear. They talk Dutch so that means ‘a lot of bullshit’.

Q: What’s the basic difference with a normal bike?
A: You got almost no rolling resistance.

????

But hey, I still want it to show it to you guys.
Title of the story (and I didn’t came up with that) is: Fixed gear ain’t no kamikaze bike

They had a good opening party though.

BAM!!!

First let’s start with compliments to the design of the Team Benelux logo!

The names of the players for the Greif Masters 2 Team Benelux are:

Captain:
Taka (EHVFXD / Eindhoven)

Players:
Jamal (Eindvoven)
Rutger (Eindvoven)
Lorenzo (Eindvoven)
Antoine (Brussels)
Jaouad (Antwerp)
Nicky (Antwerp)
Chris (Antwerp)
Samson (Copenhagen)
Agata (Poland)

I don’t know the details, but since when does the Netherlands stop after Eindhoven? I’m missing some old school FUCCIT players in this list. Where’s Schilham? Where’s Mitch? Where’s Le Haute?
Then again, I don’t know if they have been asked to join, but these three FUCCIT players are some of the best Holland has to offer…
And doesn’t Utrecht, Zwolle and Amsterdam play polo on a regular base too?
I’m not looking for another beef in the Dutch polo scene, but I couldn’t help noticing the total absence of the rest of the Dutch players.

I found a flyer on Facebook for Giulio’s birthday polo thing. So it’s a tournament…

My friend Giulio from Amsterdam is having his birthday this Saturday, and he wants to play some indoor polo. I can’t make it due to family business, but if you wanna go, get in touch with him.

Sunday Skitch, Josine and I went to Amsterdam (well Skitch was already at Josine’s in Amsterdam since Friday) to be filmed for the new video for the band The Cut/Up. We had a lot of fun riding through the outer skirts of Amsterdam and being filmed. Being a video star is tough work! We had to do film several scenes tons of times, every time from a different angle etc. But why complain when you get to go to Amsterdam at the expense of the band and ride all day when the sun is out!
