Ummm... jousting has nothing to do with leisure or fun. It's how well you wield a lance, riding a horse ;) -Marouane 10:58, 16 September 2006 (CEST)

I don't get that. Jousting, in medieval times, was pretty much the definition of what was fun. --The1exile 11:17, 16 September 2006 (CEST)
Maybe for the winner of the joust. I don't see much fun in taking a solid wooden lance to the face and falling off a horse in 60 pounds worth of armor :D Oh, the humiliation! -Marouane 15:24, 16 September 2006 (CEST)
Maybe you don't, but it is what all the peasant kids would do. Also, usually it wouldn't be to the face as you'd have a helmet that would deflect most blows. --The1exile 16:16, 16 September 2006 (CEST)
Jousting, I can say from personal experince, is loads of fun. And tournaments were big events, and I use jousting as representative of tournaments and festivals, since they involved jousting tourneys. The joust is the classic high middle ages symbol of festivity. Vellos 16:25, 16 September 2006 (CEST)
True, but these aren't the middle ages, it's BM, and in BM, jousting is a combat skill trained by wielding a lance on the back of a horse. It is only used for one purpose: advancing in the jousting competiton of a tournament.-Marouane 17:07, 16 September 2006 (CEST)
