| I just saw the movie "Failure to Launch" and there is a scene where on an X-ball game they hit the big X and take it down. Then they use smoke bombs and hide by the X (now in the floor). My question is: Is all of this legal in speed-ball? |

Ya, except for the part where the girl pulls off her mask before the game ends, same with one of the other guys,... That kinda ticked me off,... |

well, taking in count that it is hollywood and that they even used masks is a hudge bonus. It would be great to have some kind of weekly show about paintball on ESPN or whatever though. |
