Guys and girls,
this is the golden opportunity to give our sport the exposure it rightly deserves. It will require us to do our part too. For instance......
If you want UK paintball to look as rock n roll as the American scene, sites and pits need to stop looking like refugee camps, crap everywhere!
Players are clean and tidy at the start of the events and dont appear to look like they have crawled all the way to the site.
Sponsor logos are honoured and in full view for maximum exposure.
Players who really are not that good need to understand that sponsorship is a gift and not a right. Only PROS live for free.
This sport is an economy, you need to spend money for it to grow, and that may even mean some of you divas out there will just have to pay retail for some things.
And that word...SPORT. If you are overweight and just a fat wobbly mess who is in the midst of a late life crisis, youd better get in shape, or else the nation will laugh at all of us, and switch the channel over. So hit the gym.

Thank you.

Agreed, filming games is hard though, even with a decent budget the Yank stuff can be dull. I reckon we will be looking at a paintball Gadget Show. No bad thing. Jason Bradbury would make a good star guest, he likes a bit of paintball action.

Suzy Perry and Pollyanna would also be welcome........

(especially Suzy Perry)
Hard? and with a budget? have you ever seen any of the custompb stuff? that's some of the best filming and editing i have ever seen from any paintball dvd or extreme sport video. the guy knows his stuff and it shows.

Like i've posted before about this, I'm worried that if it stinks its going to set us back so far.

I like peoples idea of a magazine show match of the day stle or what ever but it really needs some one good at the helm not some z list celeb or a baller who thinks he is a celeb.

Talk to people like humans and not in paintball terms or talk to people like their stupid, the guy who does the custom pb stuff i think really needs to be involved with this for the supair side of things his stuff is fresh and takes you through the tournament so you can understand whats going on, now maybe it is full of dubstep but if it works for the new people to get into it then i think it's all good.

Yeah, Kents stuff is good, (I am actually in one of his videos, lol).

I'll forward the suggestion to T.I.M.

I've just sent him an email so hopefully it will progress from there, just think with his slick filming behind it and his editing then I'm 100% sure it will be a hit, plus it must be cheaper than using someone from a production company as well.

I think this will be great, at least as it will annoy more sport hating girl friends / wifes....

Only problem though is that I'm guessing it will be on Sky Sports, so gonna have to talk my landlord into showing it.
Wait a min. Having to watch in the pub..... OK no problem then of course
