Hi Jongster and Gadgets88, have you tried playing at Smashville along Ortigas Ave? It has good taraflex, nice locker room, and ample space for parking. Rate is P300per hour though. The court is near Robinsons Galleria and right infront of Meralco Gate 3. I just played there last night with Lui G and his friends. Looking forward to play with all of you this week |

Hi Sir Gadgets88, if you have game this week, please count me in. Hey Arci, Peter Ronald, Yukon hope to play with you soon ! Noel! How about a game this Friday? will keep you in our list Noel. Just dont pair with gadgets...HE'S MINE. Fafaaaa!!! ;D ;D ;D Will be giving free ballet lessons on our next meet. Very useful for badminton players, boys and girls of all ages! Ask Ronald! He's ready for lesson 2.  Remember the dives? Those are reserved for lesson 365! Don't try it at home just yet... ;D one of us even played with SPD cleats on  talk about bikers... Only non-marking shoes are allowed. I strongly suggest players to wear ordinary rubber shoes if you don't have gum-soled ones. Cleated shoes are a danger to the taraflex AND to the player. Be gentle to your body. Use the right shoes for each particular sport. hmm..looks like gadgets introduced to PinoyMTBiker an equally exciting sport...i remember playing this game when i was still a kid...let me check if my muscles still have the memory... can i use my baggy cycling shorts for this? We can wear our cycling apparels, jogging suits, hawaiian sando and puruntong shorts just fine. The first time I tried badminton, everybody got distracted with my neon pink Boracay baggy pants! ;D i find it bogus to play here .... not quality taraflex, cr and lighting I would definitely suggest Powerplay as our official unofficial badminton-EB place. Many reasons why. 1. They are very accommodating. 2. They close at 12midnight. Not that we're staying that long. 3. They have Taraflex matting, shower, good lighting and double decker benches on one side. 4. They also have a drainage system all around the court, so you can pee-spit-vomit-squeeze the sweat off your towel conveniently without mess. 5. They allow us to hang around... eat-drink-kwento-photoshoot... non-players inclusive. Vewy important.  6. They do not charge entrance fee, with the court fee at a fixed hourly rate of P200. It's not gonna cost us much. here I go again... stuck here in my new office... waaahh!!!  So when will you give PinoyMTBiker the honor of your presence? We await the sandwiches.  And before I forget... don't we have a cookie girl in our midst? Hello, Little Red Bakergurl.... |

Hi Yukon, that's the place ... and it's true , so many gals playing there ;D Sir Gadget ... Friday is fine with me. See you at Powerplay Hope you can invite a lady player. My wife is also into badminton Wow. A husband and wife team. If the ladies don't show up. I'll just get one of the Mr. Incredible of PinoyMTBiker to be my partner. Anyway, this is a newbie palu-palo meet so no need to drink Josh before the meet. Post the invite sir gadgets, and i'll try to come if i can. that venue would be an hour or less away from the quezon ave.-mrt sta. by FX and that makes my ETA : 2000h It would be nice to see peepz in another trail......hehehe a taracourt trail And btw, don't forget to lend me a badminton racket ha (meron bang carbon fiber racket? or Ti?) How about Ti string on a Carbon fiber racket? the catch is that the tension was "idiotly" (not adriotly) set at 20 psi, sans following my instruction, by an unnamed store near Rizal Avenue. Beware of having your rackets strung without personal supervision. So many things can happen. Learned from experience.  |
