^^If that is true, that would be awesome. I think the USA could do good in it.  I also think it should be included in the X-games, although it needs to become more popular.------------- Pumpker'd; (V.)

I have always considered paintball more of a game than a sport. I bet over-pretective mothers wouldn't like the fact that guys running around with "guns" and "shooting" each other is appropriate for ESPN/ABC. ------------- I don't have a sig anymore

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). ------------- Founder of the "Forumers Against the Ugly Woman Sigs" also known as FAUWS. |

Paintball is the truly the 3rd largest sport in the US alone, as stated ealier above 9.8 million players and counting and I do agree it should be part of the X-Games and everyone should remember the Tournament in Long Beach, Calif. over 400,000 attended. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

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 ------------- GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!!! |

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. ------------- Founder of the "Forumers Against the Ugly Woman Sigs" also known as FAUWS. |

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. -------------

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

i totaly agree, paintball is one of the most growing
extreme sports out there and is definetly better than watching target pratice on the summer olympics. I wuz watchin tha xgames and wonderin why it didnt have paintball in it, i mean paintballs coming at you at 300 feet per second isnt xtreme than i dont know what is.

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 -------------
