Spike - John Amodea and myself go back a long way - he's heavily involved in the media and has a vast amount of knowledge of who's who and what's what.
I think he's been writing about paintball for roughly the same time as myself, about 30 years or so.
He's a well respected guy and I'm really looking forward to what he's compiled.
As for what he's asked myself to contribute?
He gave me a list of the usual suspects starting with the birth of paintball in the UK covering pretty much everything up to now.
He asked me to film a 45 minute long video covering how I got involved in paintball etc. and also talking about other individuals in our sport/industry.
When I finished the part of the video concerning myself - I then had 22 seconds left for other people ……...OK, I just lied but I wonder how many people took that seriously ?
Anyways, I'm not sure who else from the UK is involved except for Ledz - I know John has asked him to contribute - Ledz has been in the game for about 25 years now and also has a vast amount of knowledge and is also uniquely placed to give people an account of what's happened in the UK in that period.
It'll be interesting watching these videos that's for sure because I'd like to see what the Yanks say about us - after all, we're all well aware of just how self-obsessed they are but I'd like the UK to be represented in this history.
The are plenty of Brits who've made a significant contribution to our sport that's for sure.
Ledz, Ged Green, Steve Baldwin, Matt Tudor, Steve Duffy, John and Jackie Sosta and so on.
Still, we'll soon see ……
