    Chapter 7 - Addendum: The Miami Massacre ...

    I haven’t had too much to do with paintball for a year or so - I’m hoping I can rectify that in the coming weeks. And as if by magical coincidence, I just got a text from Sergey. if you know who he is, then great, if not, don’t worry. He always forgets about the time difference which is why...

    Chapter 7 - Addendum: The Miami Massacre ...

    I haven't spoke to Pete Bofil for a loooong time. I got on really well with Pete even when i had that 'misunderstanding between Nexus and his team He's one of the original 'names' coming out of paintball back in the day. Along with Danny Bonura and Chino, I really liked those guys.

    Chapter 7 - Addendum: The Miami Massacre ...

    I've always found it amazing just how far being a celebrity can take you in the US ..... it's a door opener for sure - whether you earned it or not. It sems to be an affliction that has gained a foot-hold over here. The working premise seems to be that when the US sneezes, we catch a cold...

    A Red Revolution ....

    The Red Legion Wave As some of you may have guessed, I’ve had a sabbatical of sorts this past year or so. It’s not what I would have chosen but without going into too much detail, the welfare of my family comes first. The upshot of this hiatus has resulted in an unplanned/unwanted absence from...

    Chapter 1 - The Rise and Fool of UK Paintball ...

    Spike - John Amodea and myself go back a long way - he's heavily involved in the media and has a vast amount of knowledge of who's who and what's what. I think he's been writing about paintball for roughly the same time as myself, about 30 years or so. He's a well respected guy and I'm really...

    Chapter 1 - The Rise and Fool of UK Paintball ...

    Thanks - however, I would like to add this account is my personal history but there’s a whole world of paintball experiences and histories out there. Unfortunately, there are an acute shortage of people qualified to write about it. There is one exception however - John Amodea is collating a...

    Woodland Events - A flash in the pan ? ..... [Poll Test]

    Hopefully, my situation will resolve itself [No, I'm not banged up in Belmarsh …… Wormwood Scrubs actually] … as soon as everything returns back to some semblance of normality, I'll be back - as to whether that'll be a good thing, or bad? Who the Fuhk knows but my fingers will be crossed...

    The Rumour Mill

    Tony - I've got an on-going problem that's side-tracking me at the moment and I wanna say 'thanks for the post' - I'll call up Billy and see what he has to say - as you know he's a busy man at the moment but I'm sure he'll make time to respond to at least some of the issues you brought up. Hold...

    The New President of Gi, A Silly Billy? ... A brief update on the man who's just landed the top job in Paintball ....

    Fuhk Brexit - Fuhk Brexit - Fuhk Brexit …….. I'd bet my house on the fact that if we had a referendum on whether to scrap Brexit, and stay in the EU, I think there's a good chance we'd vote to stay in. I realise it's off topic but I wonder how much money has already been wasted getting...

    The New President of Gi, A Silly Billy? ... A brief update on the man who's just landed the top job in Paintball ....

    Apologies for extended delay in getting back to you Spike but I've had a few problems to contend with and I had no other choice but to deal with them. However, I think that most of the problems have been sorted, and so fingers crossed, they don't make any sort of a come-back. Who was it who once...

    The New President of Gi, A Silly Billy? ... A brief update on the man who's just landed the top job in Paintball ....

    Billy’s not so Silly …. Myself, Steve Baldwin and Billy Ceranski …. It’s hardly any secret that one of my close friends in the US is Billy Ceranski - we played together on Aftershock for three years starting in 96, and have been friends ever since. Why do I bother even mentioning this...

    New Feature on P8ntballer …..

    To start off my Hall of Infamy, I'm going to select a couple of fellow Brits. John and Jackie Sosta who are the original husband and wife double-act that started in paintball all the way back in the early 90s - They're both well-known on both sides of the Atlantic and will justifiably qualify...
