Free Shit You Say?

The Los Angeles Bike Polo club has entered in a contest presented by Farmer John. 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.

Okay, okay, you want to hear about the free shit. I understand.
If you click this link right here and then "like" you can then vote for us! If you screen cap your vote, and email it to jinxywheelcovers@gmail.com 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.

Do you really wanna help support bike polo? Do you love us enough to vote a second time? Well you can! You can text TEAM79 to 80800

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.


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!

Thanks again so much to those who have voted, and to those who are going to!

If you have spotted my wheel covers in other tournaments, make sure to snap a pic! Always fun to see my covers in action!


Remember kids, a little more than a week left to get your orders in for NAs! Rep your team right!

Less than a Month

Get your wheel covers now!!
Less than a month away until the North American Championships which will be held in Calgary!
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?

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.

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.

So email me quick, even if you just have a few questions. Hope to hear from you soon!

Scramble

Hey all!
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.
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.

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!

Gateway University promotional wheel covers

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!

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.

 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!

Nevermind, paypal is the devil. long story short, i'm going to set up an Amazon account

On another note, I have been trying to post up some pics from the PDX qualifier, and some other goodies, but blogspot is being all "freezy" and what not.

I will keep trying to get this thing to work to show off these covers in action. So stay tooned! And watch this new episode from Rawbie Boardz with Tall George as the special guest!

The Moment You Have All Been Waiting For!

Rawbie Boardz Show - EP4 from Ken Regehr on Vimeo.

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!
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.

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 "World's First Official Polo Court"!
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 "Get Rawbie some Ghaddam Teeth" fund, or just send him some love and condolences for FatCat.

Here is the director's cut to Mr. Do's wheel cover video!

Thanks guys for your time, effort and creativity! Stay tooned for the next random thing I come up with to give away more free shit.

Polo Service Announcement

Sveden needs wheel covers

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.
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.

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.
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.

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!

This has been a Polo Service Announcement
