The Paintball Historical Society is proud to present, for a limited time (I expect an ANGRY phone call from Robbo, Jerry Braun or ESPN...) VIDEO PROOF that Robbo WORE CAMO in the woods of Florida to play paintball!

http://www.webdogradio.com/shorts/Robbo94.mpg

The source footage is from the "1995 Paintball World Cup" games aired on ESPN in '95. They were actually filmed in '94 at Cup when they were being held at "Paintball World" in Kissimmee, FL. Robbo, playing with "Shades of Grey", talks a little about Euro paintball to a host that, obviously, doens't speak the lingo of 'ballers.

Now since I had the old tapes out, I decided to mpg a few other gems as well. They're SMALLER than the Robbo vid, but chock full of action.

A game Bill Gardner would rather forget. All A's VS. the Ironmen (the real Ironmen...) It's near endgame, wiht Jerry Braun doing play by play, Bill runs up the middle for the flag and... Well, look at the video. I know the rest of the story from there, and so does Bill Gardner. Let's just say "Dislocation" and "Ouch".

Same game, but earlier in the match. Dave Youngblood in his classic blacks makes a move in the center, bunkers two guys, and does a faceplant on national TV.

Mind you folks, this is paintball as we played it in '94. NO masks, goggles only. Woods fields, but you can still see the games clearly. I have a few other games from the series, but not the FUN ones. I'm still looking for Bad Company VS Ironmen with the infamous goggle shot.

There's other stuff in the http://www.webdogradio.com/shorts folder, so feel free to go through my shorts, you'll find some goodies in there if you do! (YER ALL SICKOS!!!!!)

Look at 'em NOW before I get my arse sued off!

Tyger you old dog!!!

The robbo mpeg is awesome pity it cuts off a bit early. How the british game has advanced during the last eight years, if filmed today you wouldn't be able to see robbo through the cloud of smoke. I mean only one player with a smoke on the go whats that all about?:D

Actually, I di dthe ENTIRE segment from when they came back from commercial to when they went back to gameplay. I have something like that with Rennick Miller too about a 10-15 second blurb.

I thought the smoke out the nose was a nice touch meself. Scary to see these people THEN isn't it?

Pete with hair, no tats blazing... Scary.... I'm only hoping he doesn't send a goon squad against me...
