If you see several scruffy men riding down Telluride’s main street with a polo mallet in their hands, hide your valuables and protect your children—trouble is on its way. The men of Mallethead live to play bike polo, a sport that takes crazy skill and crazier style. Be forewarned: They take no prisoners. Check out their marquee match—Beyond the Thunderdoom—at the Ice Cream Social.
