Who would have thought that a sport first played over a thousand years ago as a training game for cavalry units would manifest into a raw street sport? Perhaps the most intriguing part of the sport is the breakaways. After a steal players are pumping at full speed charging at anyone that stands in their way, dodging and skidding to avoid imminent danger. The culture that surrounds the sport is just as interesting, littered with men and woman of all ages and walks of life. If you happen to be in North Hollywood on a Sunday afternoon, stop by Amelia Earhart Park for a lot of freewheeling fun...pun intended.
