Thanks so much for taking the time to watch, & comment! It is a great sport we are involved in! ETV Dan
Outstanding video! Great narration, writing, editing and production. As the parent of a player in this video who has loved and played paintball and been a part of the grind for over 10 years, I really liked the behind-the-scenes, between-the-tournaments look at what these guys go through to play at this level. Our family loves paintball and I’m proud my kid competes in this sport!
@HabsFanTom let us say then when ppl play for money and sponsors one must play seriously. if you don’t put out why should they. that is the economic stand point. I’m sure you can get this =]
@robonaka I guess I just can’t come to grips with it being a sport.
@HabsFanTom paintball like any other sport is for fun until you hit the pros. once that happens it’s a big boys game man.
Was that Greg Siewers at 6:40?
God I love paintball
@HabsFanTom not tryin to be rude paintball is a very competetive and difficult sport even more difficult than most sports but like all of them there will be people that take it alot more serious than others and when u get to a proffesional level u stop playing for bragging rights and start the big boy game of money and other things
all i have to say is… Thank you Planet Eclipse
the begginnig of these are depressing
@HabsFanTom
y do u say some peopel take it to serious its a sport just the same as football minus the big sponsers
vicious sucks !! he is a great narrator
