A 90+lb. suit of jousting armor.

Our friend Dave, scratching and denting our armor.

That has got to be hard on the knee's.

The left knee cop looks to be 90 degrees from the cuisse.

And that image is getting saved!

Yea, I'd hate to be either man at that point. And I'd hate to have to deal with the armorers who had to fix it!

What troupe is that? Looks like New Riders?

Trystan, yes, thats New Riders, good guys, all of them.
You're a Freelancer? Do you know Bill Gay?

Signo, are you a "Bad Guy" fan? I love my "Bad Guy" hat.

Ugo, pm me and I'll try to get it to him, or if your mutual friend is in the field we might have his contact info too.

Mike F, Dave used to do a half flip off his horse, but the bosses decided it wan't worth the risk, as he has been around for quite a while with them and pretty much runs whatever show he is in... Actually we fixed it just this summer, after 2 years of use, and it held up pretty well, except his helmet (not ours) was bent out of shape and his Pauldrons were pretty much flattened. He does the best job of maintainance of any jouster I have ever seen.

MD, I think were just seeing his leg at an angle, the legs were in pretty good shape...but yeah, I doubt I'd want to risk my A/MCL's that way.

It would be fun to meet them.

Yes, I am a FreeLancer, in the Maryland Lance. I am in the "baby jouster" category, my first pro tourney is coming up in May '05. I was Ripper Moore's Squire this year @ MDRF and was an outrider (gamer) in this year's show, which just ended. This is a pic of me from a few weeks ago.

Don't know Bill G. personally, but he seems to be held in high regard in our Troupe.

Cheers!
