just because one is different to the other does not mean it isn't the same sport, take skateboarding for example, i know nothing on this so correct me if im wrong but you've got your street skaters and your ramp skaters, different style of play but it all boils down to the same sport, doesn't matter how you play it or where you play it.
Me i love playing in the woods and intend on staying there, to me sup air is just the same thing, no varyation, where as in woods you have all kinds of different game stratergies, its all down to personal preference, i don't diss supair because i dont like it, i consider it as a sport jsut as much as the woods!
The woods is generally where most players start off, so all who started in the woods, if you'd of started in sup air you might not be where you are today, paintball is paintball, everyones allowed to play whichever side of it they like.
Yes woods is coming more out of the shadows now, this is good, more players will have more opportuinity, if you look at something with a negative attitude and you try it you wont like it! don't knock it until you've tried it!
Still you can use skills from both sides of paintball in the other, alot of skills are needed in woodland i feel, the games are challenging as sometimes you have to make the most of your surroundings, it takes a good level of skill to play good in the woods, as supair fields are generally the same format (in my opinion) then its easy to know a field, so you know where peopel are going to be and exactly where your going to go, its not always liek this is woodland games, you have to be prepared for surprises, think on your feet.
The point im getting at is basically paintball is paintball, there is 2 different sides of it, everyone to their own, just becasue sup air is bigger doesn't mean it more of a sport!

) i think all paintballers should do both rather than limit themselves to supair or woodland!
