Paintballing in the USA?

[LeeE]

Hi guys, i'm looking into doing a year abroad in my uni course and popping over to the states, i was just wondering if anybody had any advice on where to go for paintballing? Looking for a decent beginner tournament to get into and possible some big tourneys in the area to watch...doing some research now but if anybody has any experience they'd care to share it would be much appreciated...currently looking at california as a possibility but apparently it's very hard to get into...

cheers

California...

Look at Razza Park - your best bet is probably to post or PM people on PB Nation.

I PM'd Todd Martinez about Raza Park (field that he owns) when i was going.

cool, cheers...

will make an account and post up on the nation but thought i'd ask here first as i know people and the forum better and get an idea of where stuff is first

thanks for the help

California the two notable ones are Hollywood sports and Raza park


As said Tizzle co-owns the Raza Park, its linked to Pevs (the store)
It is where Dynasty Aftermath etc go.

Pebble would be a good person to ask about it as he frequented it when he had his USA trials.


Hollywood sports was frequented by NK when they played HB, so ask Dave Stewart or one of the Kidz to hook you up with the information

real easy to find hollywood sports and its a good place to train. cant remember where it is exactly but its closer to San Diego. as markie said. you walk up a street you will see paintball gear for sale and most shops have flyers and what not. i would say you're best bet would be pbnation. jst ask for a team for a season

sorry to thread jack .

im also heading state side in a years time with family to work for a season if all goes to plan . Hoe easy is it to take my own kit out there ?

easy enough - just pack as luggage (along with a copy of pgi...).
as for your bottle if it is tri-stamped (ie: DoT-us, pi-euro/uk HSE-uk) you can take it provided you remove the reg. you will need a DoT bottle tho' if your isn't trimark.
