Paintball is not cheap. But it is by far the funnest sport there is. Hands-down. I’m 40 about to be 41 and I’m still addicted. Love the show as always.
Caputo is such a nice person. We need many more like him in the sport.
Best question of the interview @ 22:01 . Made me fall out of my chair laughing. "How do you impregnate the metal with this silk? I'm assuming you just don't squirt it on......" Then the response.....
Cringiest new age thing to happen for paintball. The image of the brand is so lame, screams soybean and blue haired lesbians
I played vs rage when I played for hotshots. Scary team to play against.
OMG!!!! Johnny and Angel are my all time favorite ballers back in the SC village days 2k 2k1 they would show me how to slay. i became a bunker king thanks to them i still have an OG proflex Angel gave me! bushwackers reprsent
Zyzek.... as a fellow nerd and rule devour'r i cannot actually find the chin strap rule. i have ready every word in the NXL and ICPL rules. i cannot find it( other than if it came with one you cant remove it-modify) but if i wanted to use my 99 spectra 360 i dont see how it could be ruled illegal. not being contrarian ...i really would like to know where it is. my 99 spectra came with a meets or exceeded ATSM standards, so compliant there.... i see lots of rule infractions in ICPL videos, and NXL (24 Mid Atlantic) and those are allowed , and those ARE specified in the rules. this appears to me urban legend/ bro science that is being propagated.
Probably is no rule but it got enforced on us…
Had the honor of getting bunkered by this legend in my first paintball tournament. Thought he was a nice friendly guy before I even knew who he was.
I played paintball in Indiana in the early 2000s. I remember all those fields and tournaments and teams. Crazy I probably played against him
I got to play a 10 man practice with Image and the Canadian Black Shields at Arnolds !
Had a lot of battles with Ron over the years... GWS, local SoCal tourneys, NPPL. Respected the hell out of his ability.... he could shoot as accurately and fast left or right handed with an Autococker. Bushwackers weren't a force, but Ron was. Every time we towed the line in a tournament or practice, I would look for Ron and go to whatever side of the field he went to. Why? Because I knew the longer Ron was in the game or in control of it, it was not to our advantage. For reference, I played with Mafia, California Bushmasters, Hostile Takeover, (Bushwackers NPPL SC Village) GBD, Shockwave from 1989-2001

@@paintballnerd tqvm!
This was great! I need to do a scenario.
Does the scenario guy have live viewership that follows him to other channels and social properties? Bc there is another influencer whose audience doesnt at all. Starting to think that balding workout guy isnt smart enough to pay for botted views in other channels to keep his hype going.
Wolf’s channels far out perform mine but based on the views so far, the reach isn’t crossing over. I guess scenario guys aren’t fans of tournament channels, which is what paintballnerd is.
Excellent episode, been wanting to play a scenario game now I’m definitely going Also need to check out that shotty
Benchrest and long range F-class rifle shooting would have a similar individual cost. Both of those disciplines abandoned tv and influence other shooting disciplines. They downstream gear, product development, and sub variant competitive formates like PRS and NRL hunter. Paintball is on its own island.
No BS i was reffing that night when all the pro teams came and there was some pickup games after which even I jumped into!
I remember speedy! use to ref at Extreme rage in the late 90s and early 2000s
Huuuuge fan of WOLF! Great show!
Too much fun Bro! Thank you 🙏🏽
Thank YOU!
Major league wiffleball gets millions of recent views. Paintball engagement is not there.
Most people have played wiffleball at some point in their life and can relate. It’s also very accessible. You can play wiffleball at a family picnic and buy all the necessary equipment for $10. Paintball is not the same… but it can grow.
DOO DOO BROWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds a lot like the dirty Chang short cut in Indonesia #rip
Such a good listen
Very true. I played pro in Europe at that time (I'm not saying I'm in the same league as angel, don't worry) but obviously I played at the highest European level, I get asked this all the time. Yes, for sure, if you took me of that time and put me against a top pro team of today, sure, I'd get wooped. But give me some time, I'd go study modern paintball, then train my ass off with these new things id seen. Just like today's pros, we did everything we could to be the best, we studied, adapted, overcame. I'd like to think 20yr old me would have held my own in 2024 paintball
Tom Cole gets a lot of heat but this interview has aged well especially with the release of the espn feature news. 👏
Agreed
You can go past the cap set using an electronic gun, or just get rid of caps entirely, no?
Yes. But certain leagues have caps.
This man is amazing. I just spoke with him in person at our local field. He’s always willing to talk to anyone and is a wealth of knowledgeable. G1 is an amazing product by a player for the player.
The legend! G1 Paintball is the flyest gear out there 😎
Speedy is The Man !!!
Yes he is!
haha I was in that clinic in Australia. Fun times
Axel Gaudin isn’t the boogeyman, he’s the one you send to kill the boogeyman

2007 my friend John Armfield shot his self in the eye and now has a glass eye 👁️ Marker: Spyder Imagine No bueno
Andy is back... wink wink 🤫
😮
Leverage is a special group. All great guys who love this sport more than most. Happy to see them doing well.
Chris is my hero
I get it been there, traveling and playing with established organizations is awesome..BUT playing with your boys is just different, win or lose. I'd rather with or lose with them any day, makes it that much more worth it 🤙🤙
Was shocked that he left the bears but I can see why he would want to go pro with his friends
What a clear reminder of where modern tournament paintball came from. Imagine if all those people from that era were still around.
Can somebody please explain the circumstances of this story somehow? I know it has something to do with paintball, but I don’t understand the story
A legendary team in the early 2000’s called avalanche was involved in a huge cheating incident at World Cup, the “Super Bowl” of paintball events. One of their players was caught hiding out of bounds shooting players on the opposing team.
Haha shit man eating breakfast, enjoying my coffee and was not prepared for that origin story 😅
Hahaha yup
Thanks for all the photos Tom! What team was the San Diego NPPL D2 win?
NTK. We beat X-Factor in the finals.
@@tom222boy Ok, Yeah i remeber this.
Finally Angel for Goat Respect
Imagine if Angel's teacher asked a soccer, basketball, or baseball player to spend time with him. He got a mentor that played on Outta Control instead. Oh well, guess that was better than nothing.
Love the stories like this. I remember hearing about the Salm story from an mentor of mine who played with " Works Factory" but he said it was Spesh who dragged him off. Mr. U makes sense since it was GZ who was getting sniped.
Uncle Sizzle!!! You da man
One of my earliest Paintball Kids.
Scott Tinsley is the under sink guy.
Great interview
SIZZLE!!!!!! Love you, brother.❤
