This guy's videos are interesting. I particularly like the duels, as it allows you to actually scrutinize the fighting style.

Because they take it to the next level. Full armor, full contact, and metal weapons.

Re: GDFB Venetian Sallet and Bevor

What kind of jousting were you doing with it? I'm not sure they would let you compete in the joust of peace in a sallet. It looks like Luke Binks wore an armet with a wrapper, Arne wore a frog mouth, and Toby wore what looks like might be a great bascinet with a bolted on wrapper, although that cou...

That would be sweet to joust in, but I agree with Sean, the locking pin should be on the right. Too much of a chance of an accidently hit (especially with a lance) on that side.
