Hey, I know this is posted on one of these threads already, but you all should check out www.thefeedroom.com click on the xs exteme sports tab, then on huntington beach, they say its live webcams of the tournament, but I'm not so sure about it, their shadows seem a little too long for 11:30 in the morning.

Bunker monkey, you have hit the nail on the head dude, thats exactly what i'm saying.

Np's dude,

Just if PB is ever gonna more forward in the general public it needs to be seen by millions at a time and not just a few 000's.

I actually saw it because I was called through by my mum and even thought a missed the first bit I though from what I saw it was the first time I've seen something "Good" on tv about paintball and they kept it safe and htey made it look like a good sport to get into and I'm sure some people after seeing that will want to try it out.

When I saw the guy lift his mask up I though that they had screwed it up for safty (yet again for on tv), but there was noone around and it was no taken off (like in dream team!!!!! )

I thought it was funny though how they were diving around since I've never seen that happen on the rec field in all my times playing there

Anyways good advertisment none the less,

[ChiZZerS]

no offence to anny one who pay fotty or ne thing...
but every one wants to do football... its became a
sport for every one and anny one!
but paintball is uneqe! and needs to stay as a small portion of people..and not for every one.. yu see if it were for every one
paintballing would loose its uneqe touch and just become
an every day common sport...

plus! i got my friend into balling..he is a total noob!
and already he is buying a e-blade!!! ****in hel!!
i have only got an excelorator 6.0! and i have played for 5 years!!!

Should have seen what i started with...........

Good aint it...i was the best @ woodland


Everybody started at the same level don't forget, just cause he has a good marker from the start is irrelevant, encouragement is needed to help people keep it up and help paintball grow, and does it matter if it is a common sport..no..i dont think so, football is common and look how big that has become and the money involved with that.

Football,cricket,rugby,hockey,basketball etc all of these games are popular as they have one central focus,

e.g. A ball

It is this central focus that allows these sports to be filmed easily.

Now i guess you could call paintball a 'ball sport' but we mean that in a different way. If you filmed every ball in paintball (a la matrix stlyi, with millions of different cameras) then it would still be impossible to follow due to the speed at which the balls travel. Also a hit is the same size as a 10p coin and at largest a tennis ball sized splatter. No camera would be able to film this. Camera men would need the ability to film the whole playing area (ideally over head which i believe has been done) which makes it very difficult to do. For a non paintballer it is also very hard to follow, with the emphasis of snapshooting and other skills being on speed, most non 'ballers won't have a clue what is going on and how people got eliminated. 20 seconds games are no fun to anyone to watch either.

I didn't intend to write an essay but i guess i got carried away...
