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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 point 8 months ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
