Wonderful view behind the scenes of these stunt performers

This DVD production offers an inside look at the unique performers (both male and female) of an even more unique sport. You see it from different teams and differing styles from around the U.S. through backstage interviews and scenes of their performances. We are introduced to the brotherhood of the individuals on the teams, as they trust their opponents to safely do their part on the field. They also share their views of on chivalry and the difficulties of living a gypsy lifestyle. I saw how they trained themselves, the horses and the crew it takes to create these sometimes-intense performances. This will bring back those fond memories of many little boys that wanted to grow up to be a knight.
