By Greenpeace. And also a paintball promoter:

He didn't actually get to say who he was representing, but approached my friend and I asking if we'd been paintballing before :rolleyes:

After telling him we were both marshals at Ambush he ended his attempt to sell us vouchers and we got into a conversation about the sport. Unlike most of these high-street promoters, he actually knows what paintballing is about and is a marshal at a nearby site (can't remember where exactly).

He then got onto saying how paintballing was going to be a new sport played in the Olympics - starting in Beijing 2008. I remember the thread recently trying to get us to sign a petition to make it an Olympic sport, I guess it already is? If what he says is true, it won't be one of the highlighted events but worth looking out for!!

Anyone want to comment on this?

Erm never heard anything about it become a olympic sport? I think the guy you meant needed his brain checking ;) especially if he is trying to flog vouchers on the street

If it was really in the Olypics for 2008 - don't you think at least ONE person on here would know about it? We've got some guys who are big names in the indusrty after all... :rolleyes:
