Full Metal Jousting

[Doomsday101]

Jousting may seem so 12th century, but the History Channel is giving the medieval competition a very modern face-lift for its new series, "Full Metal Jousting."

The show, premiering on Sunday, Feb. 12 at 10/9c on History Channel, replaces traditional armor with suits of steel and instead of honor, the 13 jousters are competing for money.

Each episode will capture a full-metal joust, where two men charge at each other at 30 miles an hour hoping to take their opponent down.

In the end, only one will be left standing to claim the cash prize — and the sweet taste of victory.

I was watching a show on one of those channel history or such on might that looked like this series following one of these groups around and watching the rookies try to learn and perform the joust to be able to even do a show. I think it was part of this series was interesting stuff.

Pretty cool pretty much like Full Metal. I guess Jousting is back in, only took about 450 years to become popular again. :laugh2:
