on a technical note get as low as you can, in essence stumble, and at the same time dive forward. Use your free hand to brace the impact and then get you gun hand with palm up so barrel faces up (trust, it does work) and then the rest of your body...

so it's run, get low, stumble and dive, free hand down first, then gun hand, palm facing upwards and then the rest of your body.

Like the other guys say just do it and don't think about it in a game....when your not playing or having anything to do with paintball, rehearse it in your mind and it'll come. worked for me...

btw get elbow/forearm pads as they help protect your arms....

listen to kyle, he is well good

get as low as you can, almost try to run horisontal and then kick your legs out. Use your arms to soften the impact. It shouldnt hurt if you do it right.

you will find that when you do it in a game you wont even notice if it hurt or not, you will be too busy concentrating on the 7 loonies shooting at you!

Practise makes perfect!

I have been doing this over and over again in training.

so it's run, get low, stumble and dive, free hand down first, then gun hand, palm facing upwards and then the rest of your body.

Exactly that But I see where you're coming from, for me being a 'girl' it is difficult for certain reasons but I can do it now.

Myself and team mates do this:

(If you've got a large enough room) Put a mattress on the floor, and practise landing without a gun, then again with. When u r confident enough, go get muddy

Then use it in training with a snake, 'cos the move is most commonly used for that reason
