Nike may enter paintball (Rumor)

Cycling?

Are you being ironic, or demonstrating the dumbing down of A levels as an entrance criteria to University? A ball in cycling???

When I did my A Levels, "Aaa" was something you did into a gutter after a pint of Pernod and black, not what you got for turning up.

HAHAHAHAHA

What has seeing the ball got to do with anything, i think you`d go seriously dizzy trying to watch every ball on the field!

i would say its more because its not that exciting from a spectators POV.
you can only see half the players (the rest are hiding! fancy that!)

i feel coaching kills the excitement too.

I find watching an Xball match much more exciting than say, football. The problem is there's too much going in paintball to portray through a television screen.

Be nice, now. I already have parents to mock my university education, I don't need strangers at it too.

Yeh to me and you we can watch and enjoy, but to someone who has never seen it before its just a load of blokes hiding behind bouncy castles!

Maybe welshy does have a point about seeing the ball
no easy way to make them visible though is there?

Fair enough, if they're paying for it. If not, you're fair game for taxpayers.

Go for it, then.

Calm down, that would make me a hyprocrite. I work for an investment bank, I've already had my fill of Taxpayer money. We're like pea's in a pod. You got a 3 year holiday, I got a new Chelsea tractor.

Lols. For 25 grands worth of debt, I'd better be getting a damn good holiday.

Sorry, on a forum it's a little difficult to tell how somebody's coming accross.

edit:: Is there any way to make paintball more accessable to spectators?

 

[stongle]

No worries, with my avatar you think I'm serious????

Anyway, back to Nike.

Even if 4 million play Paintball a year, 50% of those are proper fat making it a rather unattractive investment. Better investment would be Weight Watchers or Kerry Katona's plastic surgeon (you'd still hit it though. I bet she proper goes and you could smash her in the kidneys).

Personally i think the opposite and that XBall increases the spectator POV. Most fields mean both sides, not the middle grey area, the snake side and tbag/dorito side have a main share in watching the action.

If its raised a bit (like we had in Blackpool) spectators can see every angle that a ball can come from then they can work out angles, all of the above promoting the sport so at least you cant say we are not trying lol!

Its the bits you cant see that are the surprise and keeps people wanting... SORRY that sounded perverted
