I used 8' wooden dowels and put baby shoes on the end for a lil padding and also so they will 'stick' better to the shields. For the shields I got some cabinet doors and used innertubes to attach them.
So, all you unicyclist that wanna JOUST come on out to the Multnomah County Bike Fair, this Saturday June 24th. The Fair is from 1-7pm, Uni jousting will be around 3pm. And there will be tallbike jousting around 6pm.
