But when Push was made, those were 'today's' teams.
Push (and Sunday Drivers) is amazing because it does what no other paintball video does. It gives you a snapshot of our sport as it was. It is our time capsule to the rest of the world. Today, it looks like paintball has a chance to get big. It's already grown leaps and bounds as it was from those two movies. But these movies show us our roots. Yeah, I know that there was competitive paintball even before that, but these take a slice out of when paintball was on the cusp of what it was and what it is.
Have you ever seen the movie Dogtown and Z Boys? It's a movie about the Zephyr team that tells the story of the development of modern skateboarding. I know nothing about skateboarding, and I couldn't skate 10 feet. I don't even know if 'real' skateboarders look down their nose at the movie or not. But as a non-skater, I watch the movie and think it is absolutely beautiful because it tells me the story of what was, when the sport was innocent and fresh. It has captured the roots of the sport and preserved it for anyone to see. That's what Push is to me.
Anyway, I don't even know if I'm making sense anymore. Suffice it to say Push (and to a bit lesser extent) Sunday Drivers are the most important paintball videos ever. And for that, if you have no other videos, you should own those two.
