Okay, friends, how do we bring back jousting/tilting as an actual sport? I was thinking about this in the car the other day and I said to myself, "modern jousting would be awesome." When I got home, I searched for it on the computer and all I got was the shitty Renaissance fair, televised wrestling-tier scripted shit and that lame as hell and mostly boring Full Metal Jousting.
Tilting is easy as hell to understand, entertaining, competitive, and just as potentially dangerous as American handegg. How do we bring it back?
First, how would we make it safe and legitimate in the same time?

It's safe enough already.
I don't understand what you mean by legitimate.
>>338587
Well you mentioned it's scripted so I assumed that's how they made it safe.
How is it already safe? You ride at horse-miles-per hour at your opponent with a joust.

You're armoured, you're fine. What's the problem here? Everything interesting has some form of potential injury. Look at rugby.
The Renaissance fair shit is obviously and completely scripted is what I mean, which is wrestling-tier garbage. Boring.
