Next if we can organise it a short film would be good with a little structure and fake runs and mugging would be good “ENTERTANMENT” is what is needed, the BBC has a Very B I G hole in its sports department. And we could try to fill it

Firstly good effort with everything youve done so far

But why set up fake moves? just film good games with good teams.

No offence to anyone intended here, but If you want paintball to grow as a sport and to be taken seriously, you need to show people who take it seriously and look like atheletes (or as close as possible!)

Although the PA league being shown on Sky can only be a good thing, in general the standard of play was terrible. Again no offense blah blah..

Surely filming something like a pro tour event would have been a far more Entertaining watch? Fast exciting games with a followable scoring system?...

Let alone the arguments and fights.. who doesnt want to watch that!?

But again it takes someone to organise it... any takers?

1st YES please ask YOUR local BBC or email them, just go to the www.bbc.com site and put your post code in, they will happily put articles in and results ect.


Sorry for the fake bit I meant it to be like a entertainment thing I’m not a director but if you just show sup air filmed through netting well you get me. Make a short film about what balling is all about.

I’m new to paintball and have just finished my 1st season playing and have been reffing to and I’m shore there are people that can do better than me I just want to put something back it.

Ah nice action sir, good idea that and nicely edited together I thought, informative and some game action. Good to see Cardiff XM7 in the video as well, shame it was the fronts rather than my sexy body sitting at the back

I think what may be overlooked here is it is a " local BBC spot for local people". The spot is focusing on a guy from Kingsbridge in Devon and that paintball on a local level isn't loons running around the woods pretending to dig terrorists out of tora bora.

Its press coverage on a local level, highlighting the local paintball tournament scene.

"They used to take out their stress by going paintballing, eventually he became more angry..." Quote from Radio 1 news just now talking about the ring leader of the London Bombings....

Better than stomping on kittens to relive the stress between training.
