Paintball to the XGames

[kmx13]

I would like to know what people are feeling about Paintball going to the XGames. Also I think we should write some e-mails or something to ESPN encouraging them on the decision.

[Mr. E]

Well, it would be really cool...I mean, boarding/blading/biking only goes so far :D

[Skorpion]

I did that a couple months ago and i got a few other people on xpaintballs forum to do it as well

[Mcot]

ESPN used to have paintball before disney bought them out. I don't think espn will ever have paintball again. yes disney owns espn

[TOPOR]

Yep Paintball IS AN EXTREME SPORTS!!!

But to be on tv you have to upgrade the game: no more flags but big push buttons at the end of each field, a time counter: the quicker you win the more points you make....

:pissed: Disiney is ***, come on, paintball is the greatest, put it on ESPN, the have hockey (fights all the time!) and Disiney wants paintball off;thats ***

[Sked Finger]

PB at the X-games would be great. I can see it now. A gaint Sup-air field with top name pros. Then they could shoot Micky Mouse.

[pb_fool]

it would be awesome to see Avalanche shoot up mickey........that dirty ***!


pb

[ferret0123]

Ahhhhhh yes i remember years and years back I saw a paintball game on ESPN

[brad85]

i saw a paintball game on espn a long time ago and that is what got me interested in the sport

[Sked Finger]

I still think Paintball should be in the x-games. It is and exterm sport.

[Bob Mundon]

its the fastest growing extreme sport to be exact

[Autococker0286]

Yes paintball should be in the xgames and should be a regular on ESPN.

[Mattbar]

How about paintball while skating/bmx-ing? "Hawk tries a freaky-deaky 360 double pony kick and wait a minute Mat Hoffman shoots him in the sack. He'll lose some points for that."

[bunker_guy]

the first time i ever heard about paintball was on espn a long time ago. It relly didnt get me interested in the sport but i was only like 12. But paintball on the x-games would be a hell of alot better than speed rock climbing:sleep: .

[j spec ricer]

paitnball is an extreme sport. the only time i saw paintball on tv was on the dave mura tour. all the other sports are geting borring.:pissed:

Same here, my brothers started watching it and then i did. Didn't really take of for a while til my friends got into it though.

[PJGEM]

FOX sports Network will have PANTBALL shows.http://www.splatterfactor.com/airdates/http://www.splatterfactor.com/airdates/ (http://)

i remember seeing paintball on espn like 5 years ago. i remember this one guy that was playing had a peg leg, i'm serious!

[ScottieMN]

Yeah i remember that guy too. His team name was turtles or something like that. God that was cool way back when they weren't so wussy to put paintball on ESPN.

[DPeks]

My team was actually on ESPN for one of their few tourneys that they covered. I'm not sure which tourney it was, but it was probably skyball

[AvalonGT]

They way the world is going to day I dont think they would let paintball back on the air becuase of the fact of shooting,hitting (and somtimes) hurting buy hits

[Downdog]

are those really the dates that fox sports is going to show pb. If they are that would be cool. They would get hella good ratings!!

[Tardy]

i bet after all this 9/11 thing.. a lotta people are robably going to tell Fox that this show is anti-american and it's promoting people to shoot their own "neighbors." what a cliche :rolleyes:

[amz370]

well...paintball is actually more safe then any other extreme sport (prviding u have the proper saftey equipment (just like ne other x sport) but i think aslong as they keep refering to pb guns as pb markers...it'll be good may be provide a lil less amo for people againts pb

lol

[NYRChaoS]

when was is on espn what year can u people remember

[DRSHOCKER2000]

they need to put paintball in the xgames and try something new and exciting and i bet if like hundreds of people emailed espn they would put it in the xgames

[chadlytle]

lets make a poll and then send it to espn how about that!!

[Furious pb]

go for it

[HellBlaze]

the show on fox sports sucks! i mean it could be a lot better. and it's only on at like 3am and 4am, they actually expect people to watch this show?:confused: what's the point if it's on that early. it should be on at 3pm or 4pm replace you gotta see this, we have enough of those shows. or stop showing nascar, what a bore that is, cars driving in a oval for 3 hours:sleep:

[deltateam2]

i thought they were gonna put paintball on the xgames but columbine happened :|

[DaveShootsStuff]

they have tried to put paintball on espn, but too many idiots think it encourages kids to shoot people. Ironically, some of these people buy their kids shotguns for christmas, then blame video games and paintball (among others) when they go shoot someone, desperatley trying to cover up the fact that they are idiots.

Guess I got a little off subject.:crazy:

[Airsaw]

Now that Xball is out I think paintball has a better chance of being on TV again. Just wait for it to catch on with more people. :love:

[ImpYa]

Just think if paintball would become big, "think" being the key word, like baseball. Its season could be from Feb threw to Nov up north here...even longer in the south. I havent met a player yet that has gotten tired of the sport.

Talk about an intense season.

L8ter

[mike16]

good grief man...... your title is paintball to the xgames.........then you ask what our feelings are about it? dang it i hate when people do this......makes me think that paintball is actually going to the xgames. Make your bloody thread name "What do u think about paintball going to xgames"

[bagabones]

there is a show about paintball its on foxsports and it is called splatterfactor and it used to come on at like 3am but it did well on the viewers so it is on at 11pm go to www.splatterfactor.com to get all the info on it :eek:

[ttccmm123]

I herd that paintball is now the 4th most popular extreme sport and it is the second most popular in my school acording to the yearbook puplishing group so i should be in the x games snowboarding is and that is what paintballing passed to become the fouth most popular extreme sport.

[Pballr720]

did you guys hear that espn might be covering the x ball on sunday!!!!!!! I'm guessing espn because the x ball is gonna be held at the disney wide world of sports thing and disney owns epsn's sorry arses.

[tippythecow]

With the Mickey Mouse thing, DisneyLand used to have two Paintball teams back in the day (1980's) they were Danbo's Comandos and Mickey's Jihad. Just something to think about.:eyes:

[JTp8ntballer12]

haha thats cool

[Heavy_Hitter]

dont u think its kinda weird how disney doesnt want a tv show about paintball, but yet xball was held at disneys wide world of sports.... makes you think doesnt it?

[Goofy]

You know what all of those hucking people that say **** about paintball and video games promotes violence are hucking losers and they should get a life and find something to do instead of *****ing about everything else!

if you have seen happy Gilmore b4! U see the huge guy from jaws, and the ball lands on his foot! he has the best tshirt ever on! iots Orange and its so true! It says "Guns don't Kill People I kill People!" if someone wants to kill someone they will do it! it has nothing to do with a gun, they could use anything like there car!

I dont understand how they show boxing on TV two guys beating the living **** out of each other but espn doesnt want to show paintball a totally safe and controlled game!

what happened to the good o'l days when you could watch paintball on ESPN! is it me or does espn just totally suck **** now! I never see anything good on it at all! I dont even see snowboaring on it anymore i think! its retarded!

just my 2 cents! put Paintball on ESPN! because your ratings will go threw the roof!

p.s. what happened to the good old fashioned *** kicking where to guys fight with no weapons or anyone else jumping in! I miss the *hit!
