what is professional paintball?
- Thread starter ChiZZerS
- Start date
i have just read through the thread again i in a few places i have not phrased my self correctly and this may have pissed off a few nexus guys. it may have been thought that the nexus training i am saying is not good, what i am saying is that I think it is very expensive. £40 plus paint is expensive (at least for the students among us) the words of wisdom and the training structure will probably be very good, hence the reason why i will probably come down just to watch, but not participate.
nexus has been formed from the best of the many people that went to the trails (which is many people) and has the support of many sponsors. but i will snad by my idea that if any teami had the resources available (equipment, paint, training facilities and a proper trainer) they would be able to get to top level pro.

without raw ability?
You have to have something to work from, you can't polish $#!+
I think that point of view cheapens those top players who are simply better than the rest. What you are saying is "if we had the money, we'd be just as good"
Absolute crap.

no,
nexus people went to trials and were chosen. if another top player were to run trials and do exactly the same as nexus they could be top. it was said in this months pgi that some one will always be skillful in one area. therefore get a bunch of people with a little skill and talent and hone it to be the best. as robbo said about nexus, which he has done.
it can be done a robbo has done it and has shown up established pro teams, but apart from sponsorship it could be done again

So, totally the opposite of your comment
"but i will snad by my idea that if any teami had the resources available (equipment, paint, training facilities and a proper trainer) they would be able to get to top level pro."
what you are really saying is......"any team made from SELECTED TALENTED PLAYERS will make it to a top level with training etc..."
well duh, how long did that take to work out?

I've only been properly blessed with these things since moving into NeXuS. Living in scotland, we paid for all our eqiupment and paint, as for training facilities, scotland sucks mostly for weather and the amount of times i've played in sleet/snow/rain/brimstone is ridiculous. Our trainer was each other, we just all learned and tought each other. Living in scotland, we live a long distance from relative paintball civilisation, but the clan are emerging as a well-respected team, and two of their players made nexus eclipse. my point is that it seems you're blaming the fact you aint pro on sponsorship etc. but i know SO many amazing players and teams that have just come from nothing and THEN got the sponsorship when they became so good.
Fi$h

yup, and look at me..........more money than sense, any kit I want. Yet somehow, I still can't play for $#!+
If I'd had the proper backing, training, sponsorship I'd be a champion jockey by now.
That would have fixed my natural inability (6ft tall and hate horses)
