Medieval Jousting Red Crow Events

[Seraphina1278]

Horse-riding is the best sport ever, and jousting is reeaaaallllyyy funny! People saying "this is not a sport blabalablaaa" are just reaalllyy scared. SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[ThorOsta]

Thats a German sport!!!!

[me700gnomes]

Still the state sport of Maryland.

[keno571]

Enough to say UK is manlier than the US.

[Jdneedles1]

Cheesy

[Armahx]

Why do they do it across the horse, my guess is because the other way would be fatal or rip arms out of the socket.

[1169Timothy]

@Armahx They do it across the horse because it is traditional, You want to take the lance on your shield arm. Keep in mind that this sport has been around since the late 1200s.

[hybo0]

@CharNiteX

This is real.... You're just a fucking idiot. A knights tale was a movie... And if you knew anything about this sport... Like I do (Sydney jousting Champion 08-present) You'd know that the cedar lance was banned in the late 90's... As it was not only to dangerous to compete with, but far to costly to produce.

Perhaps it's best for you peasant folk to sit this sport out.... and leave it to the pro's

[BoudiccaBlanc]

:)))

There's a place called "Medieval Times" that has venues in various parts of the USA where you can be served a meal "medieval style" (by a "wench" not a "waiteress") and watch jousting, etc.

(Toronto Canada also has a "Medieval Times" venue)

Sometimes "Renaissance Fairs" or "Medieval Fairs" are held during the summer months in the USA. Sterling, NY used to have one. Florida also has one or two "Fairs" of this type.

[nadamejorquehacerTV]

thats teh real stuff... dangerous stuff for real men.

[acherrier1211]

I wish they would protect the eyes of the horses so they wouldn't get anything in their eyes!! They should have better protect than just a ornate head dress over their eyes. Anne C

[Apollo1ify]

@SootyFingers37 Unhorsings are not the idea. This type of joust is that practiced in the second half of the 15th century. Very rarely does someone fall, we take horsemanship very seriously.

[Fireburnin21]

@SarcasticF0x I would rather watch or help the guy do it :P i dont want to lose bones XD

[lolol926]

i want to joust

[TheLyreGuy]

They should get rid of horse racing and put this in

[hummingbird2009]

this is sick... especially that black glossy armour

[yipikayee]

they need better wood

[SootyFingers37]

@yipikayee The idea is to smash your lance on you opponent, 1 point for the waist to shoulders, 2 points on the head and 3 point if you can knock them off of there horse.

[ViewtifulFunk]

@yipikayee Yeah, the lance is purposely designed to break on impact.

[Stianofp]

This is a real sport!

[EweTubee]

This should be an olympic sport, get rid of that equestrian shit and put this in. 

[EweTubee]

this is sick. awesome. 

[thestarsandbars]

thats awesome!

[xxTeutonicKnightxx]

@thestarsandbars Dude this use to be a official sport in the USA until 1910! WTF!

They saw it as a Inhuman sport so they bend it as a official sport in the US in 1910. Funny we have football and MMA now a days. Brig back JOUSTING! Hell, make it as a Olympic sport too!

[AndyRaslan]

@xxTeutonicKnightxx And get the pussies out of fencing and wushu and make them real sports again.

[MrGuitarphenomenon]

i love the high five at the end... "aw DONOVIN that was sooo siick brooo.. u like pegged me in the effin throat dudde maaan.

[tryinglockout]

the black knight looks sick

[sirmrkill]

that is realy good jousting

[smurf4u2]

Yes jousting is still done currently at various events throughout the uk

[Mountaineer3615]

@smurf4u2 do you still have to be noble to compete?

[xGhost4000x]

Just to clarify my question, I know they still have done it recently, but I can't seem to find anything post 2007...is it still done currently? 

[xGhost4000x]

Do people still Joust? I know it's not very common but do they still do it?

[XUberPwnerXXX]

@xGhost4000x Only in reinactments of Medieval Europe

[6arcsn1sky]

I don't know on what people may say, but I consider jousting a martial art.

[bookercreator]

@6arcsn1sky i consider jousting a sport worthy of the olympics.

[FinalSmashBrother]

@bookercreator Yeah they should do that for it! cool idea.

[FinalSmashBrother]

@6arcsn1sky It probably is.

[6arcsn1sky]

@FinalSmashBrother Well, jousting does deal with warriors fighting with pole weapons on horse back, so it is considered a martial art.

[FinalSmashBrother]

@6arcsn1sky oohhh

[chantakzee]

That armor is sooo shiny!

[parbelmeister]

ooo man thats hard real jousting....once i must see it in real :)

[zalkarn]

@parbelmeister Yea, watchin this today i saw jousting, i saw more authentic armor (not blu/black lol) it was cool. also had more evevts like horseback spear throwing, lancing rings, etc. oh and i saw a knitghting ceremony 2. XD

[parbelmeister]

@zalkarn ähm cool but do you know that silver armors not the realistic one ......the real armor are dark .....look in the castels thay are mostly dark ....sure i want not say that all was dark but this high silver armors not rally medieval.

[wkgm11]

lance to side of head YEAH

[salnizzo1974]

There many re-enactment videos on youtube, but this is the BEST.

[zalkarn]

@salnizzo1974 i saw betr. XD

[goth6satan]

-crys- i want armor...but i suck....

[FinalSmashBrother]

anyone knows why armor cost a lot of money?

[GetYourAlbatros]

@FinalSmashBrother I dare say it's all made by hand and the hours needed to go into it could be pain staking. Or they know people will pay a lot for it so they might as well bump the price up :P

[nicketun]

Nice piece of video, well spliced. What was the music ? It fits perfectly.

[lydalfa]

I want to go there!! Why is my summervacation already so full??

[sewagedweller]

fencing ( longsword ) and jousting should become official sports , takes a real man .

way better then watching fagotry like golf and tennis

[fifthavenuegirl]

poor horses

[ninjastar404]

Sit firmly in the saddle, making sure your feet are in the stirrups, and be prepared to use your knees to cling to your steed.

Hold your lance upright in your right hand. At the signal, ride hard and straight ahead, with the tilt barrier to your left, leaning slightly forward for better visibility. Keep your lance upright. At the last possible moment, lower your lance at an angle across your horse's neck, couching it in your right arm and pointing forward across the tilt barrier.

[althedogs]

Seeing a man in Knight's attire just gets me all goosy. Love the video too.

[Linkster2o]

A real sport...

[coltsowl]

If you ladies like knights check out this knight in

A knight and his lady

[flamingamstel]

you mean you go to peasants take money from them for "protection"

slay infidels ect

cool!  :P

[Virsidus]

love Knights

[Baldoxxx4000]

with all that 100+lb plate, no body gets hurt.....jousting suc,

[Cheesepickles22]

actually the old jousting they did get hurt, its the new jousting wheer they are safe

[suzerain01]

not particularly safe. do a web search for "arne koets" and you'll probably find photos of him with his helmet being ripped off in one impact... and the guy had already lost an eye jousiting a year before. one competitor was killed last year too.

its pretty risky even with the "safe", pre-cut lances

[BoereBitch]

@Baldoxxx4000

*rolls on floor lmao* You must be kidding right?

*takes another roll on floor* people die in jousting you idiot. This is one of the most dangerous horse sports in the world. Broken necks, ribs and any other bone you can think of and lots, lots lots more. So yeah, next time you wann say something... think. If you can!

[STABxYOUxRAWR]

@Baldoxxx4000

It's closer to 45-65lbs, and there's definitely still risk of injury.

[paradiselost25]

Hi, I'm searching launchers and armor for knight can you indicate me some website that sell it? thank you

[shittyfuck]

black armor

[ErikTributsch]

Very nice video!

Hope you make more like that. Im a knight from germany an look for some cool shows like that :-)

Greets from germany!

Erik

[SammzProductions]

awesome sport... it should be at the olympics!

[RenaissanceOtaku]

I agree!

[foiran]

Why does everyone insist on calling this jousting this is TILTING jousting could be any form of competitive combat on foot with swords or whatever on hoses with lances it was specifically tilting.

[tindog13]

That's only partly true. It is absolutely correct to call this jousting. Jousting has more than one meaning, "to engage in combat with lances on horseback" is one of them... "to engage in combat or competition as if in a joust" is another. Any sort of one on one competition, like a debate, can be considered jousting. Tilting is simply another name for jousting, though it is actually more colloquial, like a nick name.

[wbroz]

probably cos of the movie a knights tale, where they reffer to this as jousting throughout the movie

[SammzProductions]

yea that film was awesome

[q80]

Good job, you're right. I learn something new every day :D

Also, the guy in black was really good, he would look at his opponent and strike according to where his center of gravity was.

Also, the white knight was pretty bad, didn't get any body hits at all and kept dropping his darn lance :p

[tramelius]

the one in Black is Tobias Capwell. Author, Curator at the Tower of London and long ime Jousting enthusiast. He does not however use that armor any longer. It is correct to be called Jousting or Tilting... of the 15th century style.

[q80]

Author, Curator at the Tower of London? What do you mean?

Thanks for the information buddy!

Reminds me of the book i'm reading: "A Song of Ice and Fire" :D

It's The Knight of Flowers and Ser Gregor Clegane :D

[tramelius]

He is an Author and has written books on Arms and Armor... you can search him, by author on Amazon... Tobias Capwell Phd. and he is the curator of Arms and Armor for the Tower of London Museuem. So as to mean he is in cahrge of all the armor displays for the best and most prstegious collection of Easter European armor int he world. He has been invvolved with Jousting since 1994 and is one of the most leading practicers of the sport.

[q80]

Oh, I understood by what you meant when you said "Curator at the Tower of London", it was the whole, Tobias Capwell, Author, Curator etc. I didn't think you meant he was an author, I thought you used it in another context. If you can use it in another context :p Thanks for all the info mate.

[suzerain01]

curator of arms and armour at the Wallace Collection, actually, not the Tower/Royal armouries.

[12555ave]

the one in the blacks name is world champion Marguerite Sacerdote. she's fantastic!

[redcrowevents]

the one in the black is Dr Tobias Capwell

[Shidentora]

The to-day Czech Republic knights are the only ones using STEEL armor. Or maybe some other do as well?

[kldudmp]

Yes. You'll get loads of bruises around your torso and shoulders but i stil lwanna do it.

[oOLG4UsOo]

wow!!

[monsterzeroJr]

More knights were killed in jousting tournaments than in combat (provided that the country was not at war at the time). This prompted some monarchs to put restrictions on jousting, even outlaw it. Jousting was very dangerous and jousting armor was much heavier than combat armor.

[kldudmp]

It was only deadly if it was a joust to the death. In competitions they used flat ends.

[FirstBurns]

Many knights broke their necks when they fell of their horse because the armor made them top heavy so they would fell of their horse head first. This combined with the helmet wich would work in some models as some sort of lever wich broke the neck even easyer.

[dusaf9]

ha ha this is gay to slow hi adam

[uli271]

fdffffffffff

[CorkytheSnarglepuff]

coolness

[segethor]

almost got mine complete.... spend about 2300 euros on it

[LuckyF0x]

Thats probably so mutch fun having your own suit of armour in your house and going to work with it :)

[contagiousbadger]

The aim isn't to knock your opponent off, and very few unhorsings happen during this kind of jousting, although it is possible.

The chances of you hurting your horses mouth by falling off is very low, and the same risk applies to all sorts of equestrian sports.

[dainesecowboy]

these guys in full armour are fucking sexy

[Destichado]

Dr. Capwell has awesome armor. =D

(he's the one in the grand bascinet and the device of three interlaced chevrons)

[redcrowevents]

Hi Freth25 - the armour was specially comissioned by the curator of Arms & Armour for the Wallace Collection, London and is based on an original armour in a museum in Germany so is totally authentic and cost £30, 000 to make this armour. Interesting to read the comments for this video, some of you guys know your history and some don't know shit!

[lakotadak]

now is isnt its like fashion and the who was verey rich have money to that

[cfodk]

Knights tournaments were unhistoric from the beginning. They were staged events made to portray earlier times of chivalry. There were no tournaments in the middle ages. At least not to my knowledge.

[sherwoodparking]

and you know this how god?

[bored2hell]

Jousting is a sport and an entertainment for the rich and noble. It consists of martial competition between two mounted knights using a variety of weapons.

Jousting was just one of a number of popular martial games in the Middle Ages referred to generically as hastiludes.

Though the first recorded tournament was staged in 1066, jousting did not gain in widespread popularity until the 13th century. It maintained its status as a popular European sport until the early 17th century.

[redcrowevents]

check your history - tournaments were an integral part of a knight's training and also as entertainment throughout the medieval period!

[Solombas]

I dont see any gaps for a rapier fencer to stab through.

[Skioppi]

i think it's a reproduction of the 14th century armor of the black prince edward...

[hootowl2112]

There's going to be a joust at the florida state fair. I can't wait!!

[jackflipper1]

there is???

[UtahShotokan]

Is there a website I could check out about this?

[redcrowevents]

check out redcrow dot info

[jackflipper1]

lol ya

[UtahShotokan]

It looked like the man with the red plume took a solid hit to the throat on the last run.

[redcrowevents]

Hell yeah - thats what we do!! Red Crow shows are not choreographed, this is competition jousting at its best!

[walatalalaw]

realy nice! I think it's a great idea to recreate history :) it's juste great!

[jackflipper1]

:D i agree

[dsagaehb]

why dont they use real poles or spears for more fun

[adamdesforges]

sweet

[adderbrain5]

if ur gonna do something like that do it all the way man. its too short and the horses arent at top speed. then again u may have dead guys if that was the case

[genosaurer315]

Love the armor. Probably some of the most realistic I've seen so far. :)

[Bigredgumball]

NIce armour...all blued with gold trim very nice..bloody expensive taste!

[smurf4u2]

Yip was reported to cost about £20,000 to have that suit made.

[incrowdcynic]
