Best Way to Dive?

[Gold Mask]

I've been doing paintball for a while now but it has always been woodland and I've never really needed to dive (Well, really I could but I probally would of impalled myself upon all the crap littring the ground) but my local site has just added a new concept feild and I love it.

The only problem is that I'm not use to diving and when I do it it feels like I've broken my arm, have you got any pointers on how to dive and land nicely, thanks .

What kind of heights are you diving over?

Gold Mask: check out the previously mentioned KAPP LA Open trailer and you will see LaSoya executing a Superman in perfect slow-mo. Should make for some good study material I guess.

Hrm, how to dive? I don't do it very often, just kinda make it up as I go. Just make sure your hopper is secure , gun pointed in the direction you want, have pod lids secure, and don't think too much about it or you'll be shot on the way in!

Make sure you tie your laces

Why are you diving????

Get some good knee pads and slide into the bunkers on your knees. You can't dive any faster than you can slide. Also if you keep diving you will probably eventually break your arm, collar bone, neck, or worse your marker.
