After the massive success of the annual KIPP Ping Pong Smackdown (which we directed), we soaked up a bit of the San Francisco culture by making our long awaited debut at American Tripps last Friday. DLO, PandaMan and PongMan played for a few very sweaty hours whilst some severely cool tunes were spun to keep us going. In case you are not familiar with American Tripps, it was inspired by Berlin-style ping pong (AKA “Round The World”), which is said to have originated at Dr. Pong in Germany. We met a kid who played with a hole in his paddle, saw a random guy parade a stash of weed that would have made Cheech & Chong blush and of course, had some Uberpong designer paddles on show! The event was at D-Structure which was exactly how we envisage an Uberpong HQ/venue to look. Check out the photos below:
