Rocked-enabled wheelchair jousting would pwn.

I wonder why the wheels are even on the chairs? They are locked to a metal frame......

Unix · Post by **Unix** » Sun Jan 30, 2005 10:57 pm

they probably use the chairs in other competitions?

If you hadn't included the picture, I would have thought that they where fencing with wheelchairs instead of foils.

I'm pretty sure it's legit... check the source.

So you should be saying "nice bandwidth theft there, roid."

Actually, wheelchair fencing has been around for a while. The US Fencing Association even has a national ranking system in place.

I've been fencing (mostly foil) on and off since I was a freshman in High School. When I first heard of wheelchair fencing, I didn't think it would be very impressive, but you oughta see some of these guys/girls! It's actually pretty amazing how quickly they can move. And considering how much of Olympic-level fencing is dependent on mental strategy, quickness, and timing, even these handicapped atheletes can compete at a high level.
