I've never seen jousting on horseback even recreated without injury.
There is a static squire's game that is quite challenging though.
It involves balance and violence, always a crowd pleaser.
Great fun too.

If you can pull it off, it'll be fun though.

[color=darkblue][/color] Bicycle jousting! Sound great! whoever thought up that idea is a genius!!
Sometimes I'm confused by what I think is really obvious. But what I think is really obvious obviously isn't obvious.

It was maryanimals idea...I just liked the violent aspect. Maybe tricycles would be safer.

I'd advise against it. Your bike could get scratched up.
