Namur stilt jousting
text:
Stilt jousting is a 600-year-old tradition of the city of Namur, Belgium, in which teams of costumed stilt wearers attempt to knock each other to the ground. The stilt walkers are divided in two teams; the "Mélans" jousting on yellow and black stilts, who represent the old city, and the "Avresses" on red and white stilts, representing the new city and the suburbs. Both teams use jousting stilts, a type of stilts developed in Namur. A jouster's aim is to bring down all the jousters from the other
