Why paintball is not an X-treme sport...

My best snowboard move, before the crash, was a "Stalefish to Melon Grind". (Helmets GOOOOOOOD!!!!!!)

I think that paintball could BECOME an extreme sport with two BASIC Additions.

"Soap" shoes, these are shoes that have a plastic insert over the ball of the foot so you can walk up to a metal object and "grind" it like an inline skater.

Rails, so we can hang a flag 8 feet over eh ground, and the only way to get it is a spectacular jump OR to grind a rail. You want extreme? Under fire, run up to a rail, lock your soaps on it, and grind UP the rail for the flag, grab it, then grind DOWN the other side!

THAT'S EXTREME!

Or we can just make moves for going over the bunkers. "Acid Drops" and so on... Borrow terms from skating to describe the more artistic bunker moves.

Don't get too crocked up on paintball trying to be an "extreme" sport, because in the end, it's a hollow word. We're always so busy trying to categorize everything into all kinds of niches, but it doesn't make sense, because I don't care and I play paintball, and I'm always right.

hehe could put mini trampolines infront of the bunkers for the triple flip with a tangarine bunker move (ok made up name ) could be interesting seeing players bouncing around the field that'll make it extreme.

Mini trampolines eh? that would be extreme..... 300 lbs back players would become much more popular.... and tiny little front guys would become road pizza

 

[MarkehB]

LMAO That would be quality, though landings would be pretty rough, but then I guess that was the point, more eXtreme huh?

Where is the nearest IMAX theatre, CAuse that looks AWSOME

 

[Billteamdirt]

It is in my head and will not go away now....large back players bounding over snakes and 50 yard line teacups burying hapless front players like tent stakes.

Reminds me of the scene in holy grail with the cow and the catapult.

Hee hee! Actually, I can see a huge back guy landing on an airbunker, and it blows, an explosion of air and fabric all over the place....

Tyger...

... now that you mention it, a player on my old team (the Berserks) did just that.

He had seen the highlights of people jumping up over lying down sup'air beercans to mug people and decided to give it a try. Scared the **** out of the guy on the othern side, when his barricade dissapeared with a big bang and then got shot by the same fool who was now lying on the ground.

Somehow I keep having visions of flying fat people impaling themselves on the pegs we use to anchor the bunkers with...
