It's safe to say that the Polo world is as tightly-knit, if not more as the fixed freestyle world. When polo players need help, the world seems to come together to lend a helping hand. Some of the guys from the MKE Polo squad need help getting to Berlin for the Polo Worlds. Check out the MKE Blog for all the information on how you can help through a fundraiser!
Chris sent this over my way. For those of you who haven't checked out Revoked, this sounds like a good deal.

Keep it 700c the Sun Ringlé MTX 33 Rim Give-Away
You've probably seen this around today, but that's no reason to not post it up! The guys from ReStrap are throwing a contest. All the details are above!
After I pulled a mean April Fool's joke on my readers, Sun Ringlé offered to set up a legit give-away. While it's not a complete wheelset, it'll get you rolling again. I've ridden a ton of rims and banged them up over time. While no 700c rim is bomb-proof, there are some that are tougher than the rest. Since getting on the MTX33's back in February, I've had great luck with them. So much luck that I'ma keep riding them. Now you can too. Some people like 26" fixed and others like 700c fixed. This contest is for the 700c army out there!
The name of the game is simple. Post photos of your trashed 700c freestyle wheels and a story behind them. The more detail the better and if you've got photos of cuts / bruises acquired through riding, that'll help. We wanna see how people are riding and what they're doing to destroy their wheels. The most compelling story and photos win a set of 36h Black Non-machined MTX 33's from Sun Ringlé.
PLEASE, I'll be away from my computer tomorrow, so tag your HTML code with the Width=500 tag. If you don't do it, I won't approve the comment. It's an easy task, just take your time posting. You've got a week, so don't fret!
Damn! It's the summer of bike give-aways. First Milwaukee put a a Bruiser up for grabs and now Flwrider is doing the same. This time it's gone international though! That's right, anywhere on the globe can enter. To find out how to win, head over to Flwrider!

Chrome keeps rolling out the contests! Check out this one:
Chrome Announces MY FOOTS photo contest
San Francisco, CA, 4/28/2010 – Following up from their Turds For Gold promotion where Chrome shipped out over 5,000 pairs of free shoes all over the globe, they now want to see how folks will live in them. Between now and August 1st, take a photo of yourself in your new Chrome shoes and send it to myfoots@chromesf.com. The photo can document your daily life, be humorous or ridiculous. Most importantly, it should say something about you. In August, the Chrome staff will vote on the top four submissions. A staff member will then visit each of the finalists’ hometowns, hook them up with some Chrome goods and photograph them to be featured in a Chrome ad campaign later this year.
“We can’t wait to see what kinds of submissions we get,” says Chrome Marketing Director, Matt Sharkey. “This isn’t hollow market-research, this is us wanting a glimpse into the many different lives that make up the extended Chrome family.”
By submitting your photo to myfoots@chromesf.com, you grant the Chrome crew full permission to blast it all over the interweb, use it as a dartboard in the office, or for any other activity they do so choose. For any questions regarding the MY FOOTS photo contest, visit the Chrome Facebook Fan Page.
Here it is, the winner to the Prolly is not Probably: Photo Caption Contest 01. Talk about a tough decision! There were 70 entries in less than a day's time. I even forgot to close out the comments before I went to bed, so 25 didn't make the cut. After consulting a lot of my friends and some other people in the industry, we all came to the consensus that this one's the winner. It's too simple and too funny to overlook and even though there were some really awesome entries, we all agreed, this one took the cake.
Victor, you're one funny dude. Shoot me an email and I'll get you out a box asap! Oh and Macaframa, no hard feelings, right?
Everyone else that entered, thanks so much! Big ups to Chris and Jeff for emailing me the original photo!

Prolly is not Probably: Photo Caption Contest 01
Photo by Chris Torres
Every once and a while something comes in across my inbox that just makes my day. Chris emailed this photo of his buddy Jeff doing a curb-endo on a dumpster. Well, more like a face-endo on a dumpster. I was originally going to just post it up with some witty caption underneath it but I figured I'd leave that up to you guys.
Leave a comment OR photoshop your entry and embed it in the comments section using the width=500 tag. If you want to do this, you can download a high-res version here. I'll be more inclined to lean towards someone who photoshops their entry; hint hint. The best caption wins. What do you win? Whatever I can stuff into a flat-rate USPS box. I've got a mountain of stickers and other miscellaneous tidbits from sponsors sitting around. Not to be a pain, but US-addresses only.
Now... GO!
Edit: I'll let this run through today and end it at Midnight Eastern Time.
Coming off from a successful contest with Hold Fast, Milwaukee's Megabolt has teamed up with another small-time grassroots company to organize a give-away contest. REload bags offered up a hip pack for a lucky customer. How do you win? Simply purchase a Megabolt t-shirt between now and May 1st. The first 25 to purchase will be entered in the contest with one lucky winner picked at the end.
Easy enough!

As a long-time fan of his blog, Bike Snob NYC, I'm beyond stoked for Eben's book launch. If you're as curious as I am about the content, now's your chance to win a copy of Bike Snob: Systematically & Mercilessly Realigning the World of Cycling. My Love for You is putting together a give-away for a copy and other goodies here and Christopher Koelle, the artist who did the illustrations for the book, is offering a 15% off discount on the book through the Sweet Ride Shop. Chris says that if you order it now, he'll knock off even more (20%) and throw in free shipping.
Not a bad deal if you ask me. Many thanks to Tarcko for the heads up!
