paintball in the X-games?

[t0ny6789]

how many of you think paintball should be in the x-games because it is an Extreme sport. paintball does not get the respect it deserves! im sick of it. this should be on TV all the time now. it is very very popular where im from. just leave what ya think.

[in trauma]

i think it should but it never will be becasue there are no team sports in the x-games

[t0ny6789]

true

I think Paintball just doesn't translate well as a spectator sport. think about it, woods ball= you dont see anyone. Speedball= a bunch of guys run up to bunkers and get stuck and sit there and shoot it out. Not the most exiting thing to watch, the way they film it. Now if the had experienced paintballers along with the assualt teams in woodsball (who would not f it up for the players) filming it, it might be interesting. I like to join the refs after I have been eliminated, just so i can watch whats going on. Its a lot easier to see the whole game when you are not concerned with hideing or getting shot.

i think it is very exciting watching a game from the sides. the sweetest thing would be if there was a speedball course and you watch it from above where there is like a glass floor. haha that would be sweet

Whatever happened to when paintball was on ESPN. The only thing I remember about it was that it was hard to follow the action closely because you could never tell who the camera was on. Of course I was very little I barely remember any of it but I do remember that I always got a little bit of an adrenalin rush watching the paint explode on the players when they made one last push to get the flag in the center. I remember one instance when they used slow-mo replay to decide whether or not he had grab the flag before the ball hit him. it was soo cool,well I'll shutup now..

HELL YEAH! ALL THE WAY! it needs to be an olympic sport!

DAMN STRAIGHT! i used to watch it on ESPN also. i remember always seeing speedball on these sort of cheap courses, but it was so fun to watch. i also liked when they would play it in slow motion. that wazs awesome seeing all the paint flying everywhere.lol.

i saw paintball on espn once. i thought it was so cool but i forgot about it until 2 years ago and fell in love with it (lol). the game was really short and i couldent really follow the action. but i was like 7 so it was hard to comprehend. i saw a autococker but i didnt know what it was at the time. it was cool and i would really like to see it on TV again. an not the reality crap that UPN is coming out with, real tournys like Masters or Skyball. Or even to the lesser extent cover little tournys at small fields. this would help bring good teams up to the spotlight faster.
