Chico Bike Ball (1994)

(you may think this is a 'slow' video at first. but like cycling, you have warm up. you'll see) Some pro cyclists and local riders got together and started playing this form of what some call Bike Polo. We called it Bike Ball, and the goal was to take the other person out. Shot in 1994 on campus, this retains the original edits (for the most part), as well as ambient audio for conveying the summer afternoon sounds of youth-with-time-on-their-hands. Please turn up volume for maximum enjoyment.

yes. every retrotech bike in that clip was piloted by a factory rider. the owner of the company came out and played too. you can hear his voice, "Are we still playing? we're just each out one person..." it was very competitive; the action doesn't quite translate to the small screen.
