James Zoppe

Built to Spill's Joust Master

About Me

I have been training people and their horses for more than 18 years, and I've spent more than 20 years jousting. I've worked with actors from Universal Studios and Circus of the Stars, and trained the percherons used in the film, The Fisher King, among others, as well as presenting hundreds of live performances. Just recently I starred in a video with my friends Built to Spill.Check my website to learn more about what I do:http://www.jameszoppe.comAnd check out a high quality version of the Built To Spill Video directed my friends Shafei & Levitz.http://shafeilevitz.com/onlinereel/musicvideos/1_Buil tToSpill/
