Full Metal Jousting

[uwhguy]

Is anyone else going to watch this show?

Im a little concerned when they say they are doing away with "Traditional Armour" and replacing it with "State of the Art protective gear"

Still. Could be interesting.

It's going to be a suckfest.

I will give it all the attention it deserves - just like 'Deadliest Warrior'.

That is to say, I may see a picosecond of it while changing channels.

Well the two jousting coaches are rather well recognized, as is the armourer.

I've talked to Casting and am actually applying for a position... Doubt I will make it. There are a LOT of mounted police, polo players and professional cowboys applying.

I'll be curious to see what they come up with for armour. As an armourer the potential for liability makes me shudder.

Who are the coaches and armourer?

Zachos, I don't think I am at liberty to say. Mayhap they will pipe in. I know two of them have been seen in these parts...
