the pit - NYC bike polo

While courtless here in Kraków (we've finally lost our court after 7 years), I'm digging through some yet unseen photos from polo travels. Today I give you New York! It was the third time I had a chance to play in "the Pit", one of the most iconic courts in the world. Nestled in the heart of Manhattan's Lower East Side, it's been home to NYC Bike Polo for over a decade. It's probably the most urban polo location I've ever played at. The pictures from December 2017 don't reveal how cold it was! But for sure It was fun: new crew in the Pit and throw-ins until dusk. Have a look.

New York was the only place I did not play at for the first time this vacation. I had a chance to play with the local crew in 2010 for the first time. However the crew did change to some extend, the spot did not: The Pit still is home to nyc bike polo. Situated in the middle of downtown Manhattan, kinda in Chinatown, kinda in the Lower East Side, it's always full of passer by's so you're giving a constant show playing there! Also, the hustle-bustle of Downtown, with all the honking, people makes the place a constant freak show that leaves unforgettable memories of bike polo there!
