I agree, it would be awsome to see paintball in the X-games
NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil.

anyone wanna ___ signal his name^
anyway, I doubt paintball will make it to the olympics just yet but the X-Games eventually for sure, I mean, people wanted scooters in the X-Games so give paintball a chance

I dislike mimes, does it show?

Paintball is considered an extreme sport because there is risk of serious injury.

I am gonna need proof on that. 3rd Largest sport doesn't sound right. Maybe extreme sport. I bet tons more play baseball, but i don't have the statistics, so I'll have to look it up.


paintball isnt the 3rd largest sport, its the 3rd largest EXTREME sport... right behind Inline skating and skateboarding

Biking is very technology oriented too, infact all sports are in the olympics especially if you look at the training too. I would hope that that wouldnt hold paintball from the olympics. Alot weirder sports have been in the olympics such as hunting.

I personally consider paintball an extreme sport when you have up to 30 balls flying at you at speeds of up to 300 feet perseond I don't see how it couldnt be considered an extreme sport.

according to a poll in the september 04 issue of APG, its the #3 extreme sport, so i can see it being in the X-games, as for the olympics, i doubt it because its too technology based

 What defines an "Extreme Sport"? I have always though of one as a sport that is "unconventional(sp)". Paintball is very out of the ordinary. Most sports use things like balls and maybe some pads. Paintball uses a gun to propel a ball at 300 FPS using compressed air in a tank. If that sin't extreme, I don't know what is. BTW: Motocross is an extreme sport, and you just race a bike (mostly).
