Got a text message from Conn reminding me about the Urban Animal Joust in The Heights. I was able to scoot on down to the Montrose Skate Shop and catch the last few bouts.

There’s just something compelling about adults on skates bashing each other with padded weapons….

It was humorous to watch as the crowd would shout out “CAR” to have the jousters get out of the street, just like when we used to play street ball as kids…

    Happy International Commenting Day.

    Urban animal jousting should be a city-wide affair! I would love to drive into my neighborhood to find this happening on a side street.

    Hi Pat, Wow, long time. I dug up some cool pics from our 1980’s UA days. It’s posted on my facebook, Amber Rewis. Enjoy! I always had a camera with me.
