Casting Call for Jousters - Win $100,000

Post by Greenshield »

Thought I would post this here for those interested:

http://pilgrimfilms.tv/casting/jousting/

HISTORY and the producers of Top Shot and The Ultimate Fighter are looking for America’s toughest and bravest for their new competition series Full Metal Jousting. Yes, we said JOUSTING. If you are a skilled horseback rider and have the heart of a warrior, then you might have what it takes to become America’s first Full Metal Jouster and win the $100,000 grand prize.

This hard-hitting competition will recreate the raw, crushing force of hardcore jousting battles by arming 16 fierce competitors with lances, armor and a 2,000-pound war horse — all charging through an arena with one goal in mind… to become champion.

You don’t need to be an experienced jouster, but you DO need strength, determination and the desire to win.

We teach you how to joust. You crush the competition.

When I think of 2000lb Horse running full out while the rider is on their back laying on the ground I think of Duke Max at GW's but my second thought is Uric.. Maybe we can talk him into it.

it will either be fun to watch or a train wreck .. and I am sure there will be opinions from other jousters chiming in when it happens if not sooner.

There is another thread on this in the construction topic with a bit more info - also one on Myarmoury.com.

My offer still stands, if you are selected and want to get a jump on the competition, I do offer private (and group) joust training.
