AWESOME AWESOME POWER!!!!
GAME ON!!!!

Do you let Canadians play?

[besseyroth]

Most people in the league are Canadian or American.

[Weigookin74]

Wow! What a funny coincidence. I jsut literally heard of you for the first time tonight. I saw your business card stuck on the wall over at Dos Tacos. I'll check your site later. Can you order supplies too?

[besseyroth]

Ya it is possible to order supplies on line. All you really need is a stick and workout clothes/shoes. There are also usually many extra sticks kicking around for the newbies. So the best way to try it out is to sign up for pick up on the site and try it for yourself!

[chungbukdo]

Do your sticks have plastic blades? Im a lefty and dont have my own yet.
