    NXLE - Amsterdam

    I joked with Ainsley if he could sort it out. The whole place is a bog.

    NXLE - Amsterdam

    Conditions are brutal. Ankle deep sticky mud for the entire field were in. Half a mile walk through it from paint truck to field. Just brutal. NXL put down a couple tons of wood chips which helped a little but it’s just too much area to cover. We’ve pushed out a dozen cars from the mud already...

    What's the deal with playing in joggers?

    I have a set of the Anthrax ones, they have the kevlar-esque knees though. So the knees can take a beat, but they're soft and comfortable slick jogger material. They're a brilliant compromise. Really happy with them. Had them at CPPS last weekend, easy clean, and zero damage from sliding around...

    Offseason rumors and random bits

    Its just 1 team that moves up/down. Should be a good race to the finish. Id expect to see TonTons back in pro NXLEurope next year. With GI back and lower US teams they'll come back to pro.

    Offseason rumors and random bits

    Yea he’ll have to drop down to play I believe. Aftermath went 0-13 since Vegas. Harrison Frye has a great post saying last year thunder went 0-11 and just knuckles down to train more. Now they’ve made Sunday a couple of events and are top 10. Said to see though after Vegas I had high hope...

    NXLE - Amsterdam

    2 weeks out. The biggest event in Europe in the last 10 years? Maybe the largest major speed ball event...ever? GI Sports coming back to Europe (per their new President Billy Ceranski). Exalt, DYE, HK, VALKEN! - All coming to this event as sponsors, which is a huge win, as the most consistent...

    NXL - Chicago Open

    oops sort of late off the mark for this one! Congrats to XFactor for back to back wins, and knocking Impact out as Series Champions (no way for them to get it now...I'm pretty sure). AC back in the finals for another loss, I think that's 3 or 4 losses in the finals for them. Always the...

    NXL changes for next year

    They will be able to play. But with only 1 US pro. :) Tom said it may go down to semi pro as well. Only allowing 1-2 US semi pro ranked players. He talked to us in Prague about it. He mentioned the Russians will need to run two lines. No golden state kings no heat no impact. Hopefully we’ll...

    Billy Ceranski Tells All .... well .... maybe not all but quite a bit actually.

    I remember 2004 and the east coast couldn’t even practice in the off season because of how bad the freezing rain and snow was. We got one weekend before NPPL Tampa to practice as a team before flying down. SoCal when it isn’t on fire, is quite nice year round. From what I’ve seen Gio hustles...

    Amsterdam hits Jackpot !!

    203 teams signed up! That includes the country teams though. This is easily the largest event of the season though, and largest since 2012?! Great to see so many people coming over. Tom also has shared some plans for changes to next year that will hopefully attract even more teams.

    P8NT to return?!

    Yea I got the supporter version. Cost 20 USD to ship to Ireland, which is 40% of the cost of the pledge lol. Going to be excited to be read it and see my name on the supporter list. I think it's going to be amazing.

    P8NT to return?!

    So the original crew who took our sport/hobby, to a photographic level that no one thought was possible. (Just look at that cover of Matty!, Hat backwards, tweaking an autococker, in black and white) Has returned...to create a hard back tome that captures paintball history in the massive...

    Grand Central Classic & Paintfest 2019

    I knew some folks who went, everyone said other than the weather. It was absolutely amazing and deeply look forward to next year. Also my jerkhead of a teammate won the Caliber from Nicky! *super jealous*

    A new beginning ….

    @Robbo Could you do one of those awesome interview series with Mark Knop? He's in Croatia these days, and chatty as ever. I'd love to hear his views on supporting the sport now (he's a PUSH owner) and how it's different than say the 'lanche days of 2001-2004. Now that he's an owner in the sport...

    NXLE - Prague

    Oof bit of a brutal event for us. We played some outstanding points, and just chucked it out the window with others. Stupid mental mistakes cost us badly. New marker shot lovely though, so that was a positive. Prague's an interesting place. Lots of gorgeous buildings downtown. Also TONS of...

    NXLE - Prague

    So I know at least three of the Jags are going. I’m there (well I’m in Munich about to leave for Prague) joe shattered lens upton is there. Who else is hitting Prague today? My new team edition luxe X is in the car being driven to the field today. Get to grab it tomorrow. Pints are a...

    GI layoffs

    Oooo chapter 11 protection? ThAts not too hard to get away from. Sandy hook folks need to start suing senators who vote to keep mental health care out of the hands of most Americans and the drugs that they need cranked to silly prices. As opposed to admitting that there’s an issue. But that’s...

    GI layoffs

    I knew Missy would have those inside tracks. I can't find the number of employees for GI, Tippmann is listed as having 120. Say Gi is 500 ish. That's nearly 10%. Not actually a terrible number. It all depends on the total number of people vs the number laid off. Now that the new CEO is...

    GI layoffs

    Appears to be another round of layoffs at GI (unknown total staff number), however, Brad McCurley was let go. He had a massive "fire(d)" sale with a not too nice hashtag #F...GI basically. Which he then pulled down, but still selling his stuff. Rumors abound that it's due to Empire losing...

    NXL Prague 2019 ID cards question

    Yea you can pay via pbleagues online up to a couple days before the event. It's 50 euro, at the event it's 60. So you save yourself 10 euro by paying for it a bit early. Millennium used to do single event id's. NXL does not, you get the card, and then at each event they put a stick on the back...

    NXLE - Prague

    The place where Gaz has hung out like 47 times. A pound for a pint. Strippers for cheap, and the distinct possibility of taxi drivers selling you to some Balkan mafia guys to be used as their sex doll. Who will reign supreme!? Legion? Impact going to be angry and come stomp on people? Golden...

    NXL Philadelphia Open 2019

    X-Factor nearly throw the whole event away with a stupid, stupid major so they have to start 5v3 that lets Legion go on to tie it and take it to OT. Ends up being a 2v2, and Archie goes mental, shooting the last 2. 3 for the game, taking the golden barrel top gun award by 1 kill, and giving...
