Seems I'm still pretty popular over on the East Coast. Newport, Rhode Island Norfolk, Virginia and Raleigh, North Carolina heard the call for the $15 sale.<br />
Sorry to say, that deal is no longer available, but you know what is? VELCRO mounting options!<br />

RÜK commutes to and from polo on his trusty Purple People Eater. The velcro allows for easy install and take down. I currently have black or white 3/4" velcro and it's only an additional $5 to your order (per cover) If you plan on mounting two covers to one wheel, then it will be $8 for the velcro.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><i>BUT WAIT, There's MORE!</i></b></div>
<div>
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div>
Blanks are here too! Now that I am no longer cutting the covers by hand, Machine Cut blanks are only $12 each. Currently only Black and White are available. Remember to make sure to let me know what size wheel you are runnin, and if you would like circular zip tie holes or the velcro slits.</div>

I hope to hear from you soon! I also now accept Venmo and PayPal!</div>

<br />And we're movin'! A big thanks to Christine from Sacramento Polo for placing the first order! You'll get to see these bad boys in Fresno this weekend. Remember kids, you've got just a few days left for the special club price of $15 each cover. After the 20th, they go back up to $20.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm feeling a bit nostalgic too, so let's have some fun shall we? Email me some photos of your wheel covers. Bonus points if you are still rockin' them on the court! I might have a special prize for one of you lucky slayers.</div>
<br />
Another shout out to my new printer <a href="http://www.monstermediainc.com/">Monster Media Inc</a>, in Riverside. Between their Coachella and Stagecoach orders, they were more than happy to take care of my order. I think we might have some new bike polo fans in the works. ;)Jinxyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02675928707169153181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3579940819750119962.post-13661758794216427862011-08-31T16:16:00.000-07:002011-08-31T16:16:52.402-07:00A Quick Update<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Rd8t7Xn6-wOENPPd4m7ZmXktya6LJte0zZ7cJGGTrwUF8lZNcpr3-o9ub9Ld6Ka1Tcl2w-H8pX9CIVsc1uQS2Z0PI9AaLzY6DLZ522-cVxBrU73dOhI0g5baY08Xg9ZhqeIhhBIjOGo/s1600/jinxyad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br />
</a></div>Hey everyone! So sorry for the absence, been busy taking care of the North American championships, Hawaii's tournament (which from Mike Shriver's photos, was a huge success!) and recently getting covers ready for Worlds! I even received orders from Tokyo to Australia! The MPLS club recently loaded up with a ton of sweet covers which you will get to see at Worlds. St. Pete's "Septembeard" tournament is also nabbin' a few covers for prizes.<br />
<br />
Giving you all a heads up, I will be attending Worlds! Just for Saturday and Sunday, not going to play but I will be there to watch and mingle. So please, introduce yourself, and if you have any questions or comments let me know! I would love to hear from you guys.<br />
<br />
Once World's is over, I will be doing another photo dump of all of the Jinxy cover sightings all the way back from Portland. Before I forget, if you received a Calgary wheel cover, I would love to get some photos if you are using it on your bike.<br />
<br />
Another reminder/heads up to all yous, I also print decals, and lately those seem to be the most popular order. 100 2.5" stickers for $35 aint too shabby. 2.5" might seem a little small, but trust me, these are the perfect size for helmets and bikes. If you are going to Worlds, keep you eyes open for my limited run of 100 and if you are playing, you will be getting either a 1, 2 or 3 on your helmet.<br />
<br />
So for the time being, check out these great videos. Northern Standard has a very important update on their product, so take a look. If you haven't already seen it, Rawbie has a new video from their polo retreat up north, and Mr. Do posted up some home movies of his trip to Ladies Army.<br />

Submitted the final orders of wheel covers yesterday, so if you wanted some custom stuff done for NAs, you missed the boat. But it ain't too late for Worlds!<br />
<br />
I wanted to give a huge thank you to Sacramento for their recent order of covers. Tournaments sometimes put a decent sized dent in my wallet, and it's hard to donate even a few covers. But for NAs I knew I couldn't skimp out on some sweet shwag for the best players in North America. 16 covers and 200 stickers will be on their way to Calgary. Not only am I sponsoring NAs, but <a href="http://leagueofbikepolo.com/broken-coconut">Hawaii's first bike polo tournament</a>! So Sacramento contacted me and ordered 20 wheel covers! Helping cover the cost of my sponsored goodies. My good friends in MPLS nabbed a few as well. So all in all, all I have to dish out of my pocket, is the shipping costs. It's a lot of work, and I really don't do it for the cash. It's really you guys that make it possible for people to get such sweet prizes in tournaments <br />
<br />
So again, a huge thank you to everyone who has ever bought a custom wheel cover. :D Boy, do I love the poloverse.<br />
<br />

Recently, they attended Polomania in Sacramento, and boy, did they have some crazy fun. Vegas kids sure know how to party.<br />
<br />
Since their first(?) far away tournament attendance, they now have the <i>Tourney Bug</i>. Yes it is contagious, and the only cure for it, is 6 months of planning, sponsor gathering and booze hording. Vegas is now in the works of planning their very own tournament. So for all of you snow birds, keep a look out for a winter tournament in the greatest city in the world.<br />
<br />
<br />
Vegas cats sure do have some style too. Check out what they rolled in on for Polomania!<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Stylish and simple</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"> </td></tr>
</tbody></table>I can't wait for a better excuse to hit Vegas up. They plan on scheduling around InterBike so there won't be any conflict. I think once World's is all over with and everyone is trapped indoors because of 6 feet of snow, Vegas will be there to warm us up, get us plastered and show us a really great time, all of which will of course, <i>stay in Vegas.</i><br />
<br />
Speaking of Polomania, my wheel covers finally arrived Monday morning and will be dished out accordingly to Joe. So those of you who won, or purchased covers, gimme pics! I really wish I was there, and I hope sooner than next year's Polomania, will I be able to visit ya'll in Sac. There is a huge thank you coming your way. To everyone else, just keep your eyes open at NA or Worlds.<br />

We have a chance, with enough votes, to be posted up on billboards along with the other unique local sports throughout Los Angeles. If we hit 300 votes, then we will be entered in a grand prize drawing to win some other pretty nifty schwag.<br />
<br />
Okay, okay, you want to hear about the free shit. I understand.<br />
If you <b><a href="http://on.fb.me/jHq0vD">click this link right here</a> </b>and then "like" you can then vote for us! If you screen cap your vote, and email it to<b> jinxywheelcovers@gmail.com</b> along with your mailing address, I will send you a handful of my very own "Give Blood Play Polo" stickers. It ain't much, but hey, clicking a few times ain't much either.<br />
<br />
Do you really wanna help support bike polo? Do you love us enough to vote a second time? Well you can! You can text <b>TEAM79 to 80800</b><br />
<br />
We are a little more than 30 votes away from getting the billboard. That's all I really care to get, I figure, our image staring at people on the 405 freeway while they are trapped in traffic, is the best way to really promote our oh so awesome sport. So get to it kids, and remember to share the link on your fb wall.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is another great idea from the mind of Jinxy... if you can refer 20 votes, and have your friends send me a screen cap with your name on it, you will get a free wheel cover with the design of your choice. Sound like a good challenge? Let's see it happen!<br />
<br />
Thanks again so much to those who have voted, and to those who are going to!<br />
<br />

Get your wheel covers now!!<br />
Less than a month away until the North American Championships which will be held in Calgary!<br />
This means, you have less than a month to order you and your teams wheel covers! Although they aren't mandatory, don't you want to shine and really show off your colors and spirit in the millions of photos that will be taken during that weekend?<br />
<br />
Special for people attending NAs, wheel covers are only $20 each and if you get 4 or more, then they go down to $15! Confirm that you are registered and attending. Also shipping will go down to $5 if they are going to be sent to Canada, $10-15 if you want these ahead of time.<br />
<br />
I will be taking orders until July 20th to make sure I have everything printed and then shipped. Due to Canada's postal strike, I have to send these out to Seattle or to someone willing to lug these across the border for me.<br />
<br />
So email me quick, even if you just have a few questions. Hope to hear from you soon!<br />
<br />

It's been a crazy few weeks, scrambling to get things ready for the Polomania tournament in Sacramento. The covers are on their way! But, I am not... I really do like going to tournaments that I sponsor, but shit happens and I will have to see the weekend through digital photos yet again.<br />
The batch of covers I sent up (over 20 of them) were all directly printed! Due to my haste to get them packed up last minute and hoping to the powers that be that it will get there in time, I didn't get a chance to photograph any of them! So, unlike the PDX qualifier, I hope I get some photos to share with you all.<br />
<br />
I do have one photo though, and it is from a recent order I did for a USC based University apartment building. They ordered 32 covers to fit on 8 beach cruisers to help advertise that they are now leasing. These look great! With this order, I had to find a drill and pair up each wheel to make clean even zip tie holes. I didn't want them to do any extra work, just slap 'em on and ride. Looks like everything worked out!<br />
<br />

So if you have a business that you want to advertise, this is a great unique way to do so! Thanks again to Gateway University Apartments for choosing me to be involved in their project!<br />
<br />
Oh! I finally was able to set up a Google Checkout Merchant account to make things way easier. Like I had said before, Paypal is the devil and messed quite a few things up. Since Google will be taking over the world soon, I figure, might as well sign up to get that out of the way.<br />
<br />
I hope to be a little bit more current with my posts and photos, so please stay tooned and see the awesome covers to made up special for the Polomania Tournament!<br />

<br />
Rawbie has finally completed episode 4 of his awesome polo pod cast! Better yet, he has a new and improved intro that I freaking adore. Well done Rawbie and Ken!<br />
In this episode it features the winner of the Wheel cover video contest we started a few months back. And you guessed it... Mr. Do! Once again, pwning the whole polo world with his mad video skillz. <br />
<br />
Rawbie, it truly was a pleasure drawing these up for you and FatCat. Now you and FatCat can take to the courts, and slay all those who dare play you on your new "<a href="http://leagueofbikepolo.com/forum/courts/2010/01/05/first-polo-specific-court-in-north-america-if-not-the-world-i-think">World's First Official Polo Court</a>"!<br />
I am sending Rawbie some more decals of his logo, so maybe you can sweet talk him into sending you some. But first, please donate to the "<a href="http://leagueofbikepolo.com/forum/general/2011/04/14/rawbie-boardz-needs-some-polo-love">Get Rawbie some Ghaddam Teeth</a>" fund, or just send him some love and condolences for FatCat.<br />
<br />
Here is the director's cut to Mr. Do's wheel cover video!<br />

There are still a lot of you out there that play without covers. Either, you can't handle the wind, or you ride to the court and the drag just sucks. But seriously, get some wheel covers, they work. Suck it up if it is too windy. You will become a better player because of it.<br />
At Ladies Army III, Jasmine got her foot caught in someone's wheel, and it tore the shit out of it. They had to remove the wheel just to free her foot. Wheel covers people. Save the spokes, save the wheel, save the goal, save the limbs.<br />
<br />
There are a ton of options out there now. The cloth Burro Bag cover that can be slapped on and off in a jiffy, or the new indestructible HDPE covers by Fixcraft means you can drill a bunch of 2" holes throughout it to let that God awful wind through.<br />
Even good ol' cheap ass coroplast can have 2-3" wind holes cut out. With a simple slice on one side of the cover, you can even fold it in half for easy transport.<br />
<br />
So quit the excuses, unless you like truing your wheel all the time, letting balls slip through your spokes, or gettin' some blood on your hubs. GET SOME WHEEL COVERS!<br />
<br />
This has been a Polo Service Announcement<br />

Sure a little late on getting you all the fun news on the latest Ladies Army, but hey, I was waiting for photos.<br />
Over 3 days of hangin out with some of the greatest ladies of polo, is something I don't think I will ever forget. Well, the parts I can remember anyways, thanks to Lone Star Beer. :D<br />
This tournament was one of the biggest orders of wheel covers I have had yet. 13 Ladies Army Covers, 4 "Ignore Alien Orders", 2 very beautiful custom Ladies Army covers for Mo, and of course the "Ladies Love Mr. Do" cover as a big 'ol thank you for him taking the time to come all the way to Austin and filming the games.<br />
There is so much to say, and I think it all has been said here at the <a href="http://leagueofbikepolo.com/ladiesarmy3-thread3">Ladies Army Thread</a><br />
Austin, Mo, Jaz, Meg and all the ladies who attended. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend. Can't wait to play with ya'll again soon!<br />
<br />

<br />
I just finished cutting out 40 wheel covers by hand. Boxed up about 20 of those to be shipped to Austin. 10 of those will be part of the Ladies Army sponsor package. 300 (200 for LA) decals are chopped and ready. I have another set of decals I am currently working on. I can finally breathe a little. Now all I have to worry about is my game skillz.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3nkb4iJU35PTZwCTcqiSBNO_0bObUhyLx3h6gUOzU-MJc2KDDX_GbkFTz-FlxWPqSlLgok7vrnUYlI2j1nMk_vOA8EQACWIRZPatSR-ydJ-Q0py_TaNiorPY7G8YjMyRj0PTkZfwE4iM/s1600/2011-04-28+18.42.06.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3nkb4iJU35PTZwCTcqiSBNO_0bObUhyLx3h6gUOzU-MJc2KDDX_GbkFTz-FlxWPqSlLgok7vrnUYlI2j1nMk_vOA8EQACWIRZPatSR-ydJ-Q0py_TaNiorPY7G8YjMyRj0PTkZfwE4iM/s640/2011-04-28+18.42.06.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
The decals look great, and are easy to do. So if you have a tournament, and want a set of 100 stickers, full color, contour cut, sweet laminate, and your custom design, I can do them for $50<br />
If you remember from the EHBPCs, they had (1) (2) (3) stickers made for the player's helmets. So keep that in mind when you are planning your next tournament!<br />
<br />
Alright, time for me to collapse. Headin' up to San Francisco tomorrow for a last minute mini tournament!<br />

All at once, I started getting emails from everyone putting in their orders for wheel covers! So today, finally, after 3 weeks of back and forth with a million people, the print order has been submitted! 40 wheel covers(20 of which will be donated as prizes) and 300 decals!<br />
Even in the middle of all of this, I received an email from someone in New York wanting some wheel covers for his dahon mu p8.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="black: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.bikefold.com/graphics/dahon_bikes/2008/dahon_musl_2.gif" imageanchor="1" style=""><img border="0" height="253" width="350" src="http://www.bikefold.com/graphics/dahon_bikes/2008/dahon_musl_2.gif" /></a></div><br />
He doesn't play polo, but want's something to really make this whip pop! Can't wait to see the photos!<br />
<br />
I have a few covers on order for the PDX Young Retiree's Tourney that is happening at the end of May. I have stopped taking orders for Ladies Army, because once I have everything printed and then the rounds cut, I have to ship everything ahead to Austin. For the PDX tournament I can take orders for those until mid May. Those will be delivered straight to PDX, so all money orders need to be made ahead of time.<br />
<br />
On a quick note, a huge thank you to all of the people in the Poloverse that made it possible for Mr. Do to travel to Austin in a few weeks! You all just made that weekend even more perfect!<br />
Stay tooned for the very special top secret cover and stickers I have made for his special appearance!<br />

In my last post I shared the promo video for the Ladies Army filmed by our own <a href="http://leagueofbikepolo.com/user/mr-do">Mr. Do</a>, from MPLS. Turns out, the ladies want him, and want him bad. So <a href="http://leagueofbikepolo.com/user/comomegs">MidwestMeg</a> has decided to start a fundraiser to send Mr. Do to Austin so he can cover the talented ladies competing in this year's tournament.<br />
<br />
If you would like to contribute to getting Mr. Do out of MPLS for the weekend to return home with footage of girl on girl action, you can donate some green to Meg's paypal (meganmazzei@gmail.com) so she can get his ticket.<br />
<br />
And after you dig in your pockets, check out <a href="http://www.vimeo.com/mrdo">Mr. Do's Vimeo page</a>. He's got a lot of new stuff up!<br />
<br />

Already 18 teams are registered, and the doors aren't closed yet. This will be the first 2 day tournament, with the usual swiss rounds and double elimination. While Mr. Do was in Little Rock for the South Central qualifier, he captured the images that confirm the rumors of how bad ass these ladies are, and how they took the tournament by storm.<br />
Without further a-Do, here is a wonderful promo for the Ladies Army happening this May.<br />
<br />

<br />
And since I will be attending the Ladies Army, a reminder if I may; I will be sponsoring a handful of covers for the winner's circle. And for the first time, putting extra LA covers up for sale while all proceeds go to the Austin club. So if you want to purchase a cover, please email me and put in your order. I have to ship these out ahead of time.<br />
<br />
Keep swingin' those mallets, ladies. See you in Texas!<br />

Beautifully crafted acid etched brass badges are the perfect way to show your love and loyalty to your club.<br />
Wheel covers are temporary, these are like a tattoo that will never leave your trusty steed. <a href="http://leagueofbikepolo.com/user/blindsight">BlindSight</a> on the <a href="http://leagueofbikepolo.com/">League of Bike Polo</a> is the creator of these masterfully crafted pieces. Jewelers have quoted these from $50 - 75 but he so graciously makes these for around half that ranging from $20-30 (depending on difficulty and cut)<br />
Here are a few examples of his work<br />
<br />

Rawbie's wheel covers arrived in Seattle yesterday, and now they are in the hands of Medic Mike, who has the privilege of smuggling them across the border to East Vancouver. Stay tooned for the next episode of the Rawbie Boardz Show for the announcement of the winners of the wheel covers! There will also be a nice little mention of the winner of the Best Poster of 2010, Matt Bowen.<br />
<br />
<br />
I have also been looking into a ecommerce type of website to make purchasing a little easier. Stay tooned for that<br />
<br />
Til next time<br />

<br />
Apparently, Hawaii got some crazy idea and is going to attempt a game of Bike Dodge Ball. Like the poster says, "If You Can Dodge Traffic, You Can Dodge Ball!" What else would you blame this harebrained scheme? Either the radiation finally got to them, or lots of alcohol. I can hear Jamie Foxx now...<br />
Nonetheless, some of the best poster art I have seen in a while! Great job Eilif! <br />
Play safe out there kids! I want to play polo in Hawaii one day! <br />

Today, I cut them up and then this evening they will be on their merry way to East Van and into Rawbie's garage, where he will do who knows what to them. :D<br />
<br />
Until the official unveiling of the covers (Ken threw in a quick screen cap of the unfinished design, in last weeks episode) here are a few little teasers of the official Rawbie Boardz Show covers.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I do apologize for the horrible cell phone photo quality. If you look closely you can see the direct digital print method used in making these wheel covers. The ink doesn't wipe off, I know this because I licked it. If you are worried about that happening or want to prevent any fine scratches, hitting it with a matte spray will help provide a little more protection. Stay tooned for the next Rawbie episode where the winner of the Totally Awesome Wheel Cover Video is announced!<br />

You can read more and see the photos at the <a href="http://tokyobikepolo.blogspot.com/2011/03/after-earthquake-20th-mar-at-komazawa.html">Tokyo blog </a><br />

Let me give you a little run down of what I got from their blog article, and share with you their photos of the aftermath.<br />
<br />
<br />
A few miles to the east of Tokyo, is a little bayside town called Chiba. Closer to the water, and of course, to the epicenter of the 9.0 quake. The photos of the liquefied ground where they used to play polo are just incredible.<br />

So no later than Wednesday will they be accepted. In other Rawbie related news, the winner will be announced in not this weeks episode, but next weeks. Why? Because I wanted to make the wheel covers absolutely perfect before their web debut. Today will be the day that they will be sent to the printers! Sometime next week they will be on their merry way off to Seattle to be smuggled across the border into the hands of Mr. Rawbie Boardz. Also in next week, you will get to see the final product of the East Van Crown covers, the winner of <a href="http://leagueofbikepolo.com/best-posters-2010">The Best Poster of 2010</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Until then, here are a few other bundles of covers that I have done for previous tournaments that I have attended.<br />
<br />
My first major set was for the LA Labor Day Polo-Q, which was only 8 covers or so.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/62220_1500647289841_1643944198_1240963_884724_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/62220_1500647289841_1643944198_1240963_884724_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Turns out, the most popular thing to put on your bike is your beverage of choice. This weekend also included a very special cover for one of So Cals youngest players, "Boogie Monster"<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/60131_1500659170138_1643944198_1241020_347928_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/60131_1500659170138_1643944198_1241020_347928_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Once the summer fun was over, and things began to slow down, I started working on the Arizona poster for their Desert Polo Invite tournament which catered to almost 100 people from all over the US. The Denver Mallet Mafia, Edmonton Polo Club and some personalized pieces rounded out this set.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2kQaXYKo9hBSILKuxhR3rVcPqiwxCp6TwPse9RhLqOqapk7u_JAURMeungw3kPBv21IwSC3D4Rd4JShMgiYRX1zH6en3eW1SEBCsy1GPohJfbz792u3uFPKGH8-Zcq9pCnOwc0Dj7OfM/s1600/azgroup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2kQaXYKo9hBSILKuxhR3rVcPqiwxCp6TwPse9RhLqOqapk7u_JAURMeungw3kPBv21IwSC3D4Rd4JShMgiYRX1zH6en3eW1SEBCsy1GPohJfbz792u3uFPKGH8-Zcq9pCnOwc0Dj7OfM/s640/azgroup.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I really do enjoy seeing what people come up with. Some make me laugh, shrug or go "why didn't I think of that?!"<br />
<br />
Well, that's enough for now. I can only squeeze these entries out on my lunch breaks or between customers.<br />
Till next time!<br />
<br />
