I have never, in the last 6 years I've been fighting heavy, recovered from a blow by windmilling straight down, so that the tip of my sword might touch the ground.

Maybe I'm just not good enough for those advanced skills, though.

Broadway

Long enough.

Shot putt welded onto the end of a 3' section of 1" iron pipe. Shot putt cost me $20, pipe cost about $3... and the welding was like $5 at a local welding shop. I stressed to teh welder that it had to be hard core, because I would be shaping metal with it. 9 years later, and its still holding u...

Ha...

Nice auction.

I can't bitch though... I owe Brent money.

Broadway

Lame

All bids should be public.

Just to be fair and keep you updated via pm there has been a bid of $100 plus some nice info in trade.

Where did I say it was normal?

I just said it wasn't all that difficult. Nothing to write home about.

The video itself is hosted by facebook. Its not like a link to a youtube video or anything.

Join the Darkside... I've been looking at hundreds of Pennsic photos that folks are throwing up on facebook all afternoon.

Denting a 14g helm isn't all that difficult. If a shot like that is giving you a brain bleed, mayhaps you are just a bit too old and fragile to be playing our game.

If I remember correctly you can buy small rectangular shaped LCD clocks that are about the size of one of those "Fun Size" candy bars you pass around at Halloween in most automotive departments at department stores. They shouldn't cost more then a couple dollars, buy one and glue it to th...

I might be able to convince JT to start a new forum for "People who Otto owe's money to"

Anybody interested in that?

Broadway

Nope.

hawkwood is a weird, secretive, insular place. ever since they became a barony (for whatever reason that happened) they shut the rest of the world out. Can't dissagree with this. (except for the fact that we were weird and secretive and insular, way before we became a Barony). and the ones that i k...

Switchblades are legal again? Where? When did this happen?

I ask, because I accidentally lost a few switchblades over the side of my boat a while back, and might have to go diving for them if they're legal.

Broadway

Our practices are a bit of a joke at the moment. The Baronial Practice hasn't really taken place for close to 8-9 months, and I'm not sure if we even have a knight's marshal at the moment. Several of the local fighters have backyard practices when the stars align correctly. Ravenwulf will pretty muc...

I have no clue what you're talking about.

Or am I missing something?

Broadway

Who makes them?

Broadway

No worries, as long as you also ignore me when you're shooting arrows across the field.

Ivan

P.S. I've put you back on ignore.

Broadway

Ivan,

I'm pretty sure anybody can quote what I've said on this thread. I don't think you can actually set the boards up to prevent that from happening.

It's ok for you to be wrong about that Botaro. I don't hold it against you.

Broadway

Hah. You can consider it whatever you want.

When you come up, you can tell me of these Dukes.

@Bender. I was mearly pointing out that there are was a better alternative for for a cheaper price on the market.

@Beau... I'm gonna call bullshit on 3 Dukes wearing your spuntop helms.

Broadway

Still, not the same.

Broadway

"Heavily inspired by the SCA" is not the SCA.

Broadway

As such, how can doing a modern martial art/sport be remotely relevant to trying to teach folks about the medieval era?

Because they're not. Demos are pretty much solely for recruitment, not education.

Broadway

Just placed my order. Look forward to checking it out.

Broadway

Ah, metal cleats. I assumed anybody wearing metal cleats would have been tarred and feathered by now.

Broadway

I'm not gonna agree to disagree. I'm just gonna disagree.

Broadway

I'm gonna jump on the insulting side of things. I think you're an ignorant douche who talks alot of shit about something he has absolutely no clue. I'd say the SCA is way better off without you. Oh, that's a person who's reasoning, not like someone around here that's continuously insulting me. Yes, ...

Broadway

The tops of cleats are leather. They aren't reenforced with anything that makes them invulnerable to other cleats.

The idea that somebody stepping on your foot with cleats will turn you feet into "bags of jelly & bone splinters" is rediculous.

Broadway

That is a completely different forum Richard.

Broadway

Cleats are awesome.

Duke Paul has his own section. You are not Duke Paul. Again, you can ask folks to do this or that, but whether they actually do it or not is entirely up to them. Generally, we allow the original poster to delete a thread they started because they are embarassed by what they said in the original post...

Broadway

Balin, you realize of course, you can stay on the thread, and call anybody you want a liar. No matter what Richard says.
