I went to watch real life jousting in a castle near me a summer or two back. I have to say, I was rather disappointed.
The lances seemed to be balsa wood and the force of impact didn’t even seem to push the opposing rider. You really couldn’t even tell the winner until the judges told you who won based on, idk, style akd and accuracy or smth.
Yeah, I used to go to a place called Medieval Times. It was a dinner show kind of thing and the lances were balsa. But that was just for show. Actually I had no idea “real” jousting existed.
I have to say that IS interesting as fuck.

Oh shit, I had no idea those places were real. I mean going by what I saw in “The Cable Guy”, I’d imagine you saw “more real” fighting.
