When I bring up bike polo in conversation with someone new and they ask if they could see a video, I show them a connect bike polo video and it usually kills the conversation and I see the wonder leave their eyes. Am I doing anything wrong here? TIA

I don’t show anything, I just say : come and watch a game. If they come: half a win. if they play: game is done. That’s what I like about us: we all were curious enough to come watch and play bikepolo. I personally don’t watch games on video as I find it boring, but I never were into watching sports. I guess some other people are like me. Tell them to come watch it for real.

I would agree. I remember looking at videos right after I first started playing (2.5 years ago) and thought it looked real lame, despite it being so much fun to play. I do now watch games, but mostly to learn more not so much for entertainment.
