That would be funny! Be even funnier when one of his flunky fans stops you and beats you with the same stick!J/k


No I wouldn't ask for their autograph....LAME

Hell Yeah I would watch them play. Just think what you could learn from watching players of their caliber!

I would jump at the opportunity to watch 'em play, and I probably would go for one or two autographs (you know, just in case in a few year's time it some kind of.....uhh.....collectors item!)

What I want to know is 'Do they actually get 'PAID' as such for playing paintball so skillfully!?'

Cos I've heard about these really expensive team transfers and stuff - is this happening similar to football now, where teams are buying and selling players? And if they do get paid, how much??

If LaSoya is like Man Utd, then we are Woking (at the moment)

And again the same links are seen, Man U big club, big money any player they want,

Woking no money small club and not able to progress cause of this.


Any way back to the point, I have interviewd LaSoya for a radio interview at the last campaign cup. And he was a nice enuff guy, I hate my little friend Jazz with me and she was collecting autographs and was thrilled to meet Chris and he was nice and signed her book, as did Ground Zero and others. It was a great day for her and i think it helps to prove that the sport is growing.

Rocky also signed a t-shirt for a m8 of mine cause he could not come along cause he was marshalling.

Everyone in paintball is really nice (from what i have seen) and yes maybe a few egos are a bit big and some people are more like kids than adults, but hey who cares,

I am going to attempt at some point to put all the raw radio interviews for download on my web site as soon as i can, I will also put together a shorter more radio friendly version to get an overall sound as well.

I will post a new thread when it is avaliable some time in the next few years

Hmmm if say I lived down the road from one of the big US tournies i'd probably go and watch. But I wouldn't go outta my way or nuffink.
