The terrible sport of auto polo #shorts

[no.notfromRDR]

So basically they tried to make a rocket league in real life.

[timslack]

modernize it with go carts, hell if you were to call it Rocket League you have an established built in audience

Someone heard "20 horsepower" and thought "that's 20 times the polo!"

Kinda reminds of those chariot races but with motorbikes instead of horses. Adding combustion to any archaic sport really does make it more awesome, as well as more dangerous, which I think adds a multiplier to the awesomeness factor.

Time to bring it back with Go-carts. You know, those slightly armored ones that are used in racing, where you can flip them.

So instead they created Demolition Derbies! 😂

Motorcyclists: That's cute. (Rides away on motorcycle chariot)

"Dumb and terrible" this sounds amazing and I would pay to see it

[Pantology_Enthusiast]

It helps in traditional polo that horses have more self-preservation instinct _than a car!_

[MrSJPowell]

The fact it died out during the roaring 20s of all times? That's impressive.

[damianmk]

This is the type of thing that someone drunk would do

[bjornthorgudmundsson]

I wonder if we can make motorcycle polo a thing nowadays lol

Ok, so hear me out: go-cart golfing. It would be a better alternative to this and would give golf a higher skill ceiling. You could have just one person be the driver and the golfer or you could have two people (one the driver and one the golfer). Of course the field that you play on have to be tree free as the ball is going to go into the stratosphere when you hit it. Maybe a bigger ball and club would be in order? Of course you have to take turns like in regular golf, there wouldn't be much point in it otherwise.

How could you NOT love this concept?!?!

[matteblack]

BRING IT BACK!

And while youre at it, lets get some motorcycle chariots too

[YalelingOz]

O_o I've never heard of this before, and I can see why. That is madness.

[MJOLNIRMARKSIX]

I like how it's made the game more dangerous AND removed animal injuries from the equation. Basically you go in knowing how bad it could end, and now nobody that doesn't want to be involved gets hurt.

Here in Europe..there is still Motoball…think of football but with modified motorbikes…started a little after WW1 by the Germans then spread to England and across Europe…Im a goalkeeper for the UK Team, it is fun and a little absurd when I first tried for the team but it is good fun…just gotta dodge the bikes coming at u😁

[lmapOS_REAL]

This sounds like some Warhammer Ork behavior

You should cover the Beheading War (aka Federalist Revolt) in Southern Brazil. There is a famous myth about the war, where a rebel, Adão Latorre, beheaded 300 prisioners in one night. He was even nicknamed '"Sinuelo da Morte" by other rebel troops. Would be interesting to see you talk about it
