How about producing some really wicked but LOW COST paintball videos/DVD's to distribute around the scene? Kinda like the fanzines you get in the Punk scene, but video versions.....sort of like an underground form of getting your messages/views around.

Anyone familiar with the hardcore punk scene will know what I'm talking about....

I know what you are talking about... There is a Skateboard mag that is actaully a videozine! You get a monthly skate vid instead of a mag! But who and what would you film that would be worthy of a paintball videozine? It would have to be some kewl **** to get people to subscribe!

x games...

i know this is a bit off track, but how come paintball isn't at the x games? surely it counts as an 'extreme sport' but it's never even mentioned on Extreme TV channel. why?

X games seems to get large audiences both at the event and then on TV, maybe we should petition to organisers to get paintball as part of the x games. i know i'd like to see Avalanche, Ironmen, Dynasty et al ripping into each other on TV

I wouldn't have thought of Paintball as an "extreme" sport, but more of an "Adrenaline" sport.....My thinking is that an extreme sport is a sport where you risk your neck, such as snow-boarding, Skateboarding, etc...

However, as far as I'm concerned, paintball can be an extreme sport as far as I'm concerened if it means it will get on TV a bit more!!

However...this whole Videozine thing has got me thinking.....

Would that happen to be 411 by any chance?
