10-15 years later and its still the best of the best. You know... it would be awesome if you put together a 2023 release using all un-seen original footage you have left over that never made the original cuts. There's a huge community that would pay for it. Be it PPV or crowdfunded up front.
These were the days we were Kings, we crammed 8 people in 1 cheap hotel room and ate way to much Mc Donalds because it was cheap, after driving all day to make it to a tourney...and if you made it to sunday it was a bonus because we were fortunate enough to go play a sport we love with people we call family.
We used 2 Toyota Previa minivans to haul the team around the country playing tournaments back in 05-08. We'd survive on Beenie Weenie and bologna sandwiches and cram everyone into one hotel room. Those were the days man
Thanks dudes for the stories, got into it when I was maybe 12 in 2000-01/2002-03 ish never did big circuits, but a true love of mine. Played in a series called ICC (Indiana Captain's Council) just Novice and it was either that or Amateur. The thing about the round Robin way of doing tournaments back then that I digged was that each Novice team had to play a few Amateur teams and vice-versa with Amateur teams getting to hopefully take a dump on the lower lvl Novice teams. I loved that cause it didn't always work out that way and if you beat one of those Rank 5 and up Amateur teams (or just beat one in general) being Novice and not Top 5 damn it felt good and shit got heated quick...so many dead man walks or at least that's when an Amatuer team did it to us
@@MikeJones. they still rip just like a lot of the old markers. Heavier , not as good on air but dam they ball. Old school guns along with new still were its at. Specially prices on the oldies.
@@militarydocumentariesinc.7007 still got my classic Timmy, alias with infamous board, I honestly really miss my sft shocker, Superman'd, all blue and red. Had a pm6 and a 06 ego, the stock reg on the sft need to be rebuilt the second you get it.
I took like a 10 year break from the sport and recently got back into it and I’m having more fun than ever. And I encourage you guys to get back into it as well.
As a highschooler going through a really rough time, paintball gave me the environment i needed to continue life. We all have our issues and thoughts, sitting with my best friend who we met in middle school drooling over the timmys, shoeboxes, and my personal favorite invention, the Autococker. My internal and recall memory of anything pball, is from this time. Met prretty much all of these ballers, had a borken noid in my alias and this G was like "can you wait five mins?" Im like yeah of course, he comes back with not one, but two noids, and a baggie of orings. If you take the jump you do meet your heros. The one sentance that is reaonating harder now than anything "Your heart never dies but your body does."
Omg... me and my brother watched this video on repeat while we where into paintballing back in the day. This movie was the best. Nostalgia hitting hard.
I played paintball weekly through HS and some of college. Probably 7 years straight almost. I stopped but I forgot how good this movie is and has made me fall in love again.
holy shit. can't believe you released this free on youtube! going to nostalgia hard over the next glorious hour and 15 minutes. thanks mwag, you guys were the goat!
The days of real paintball, xball, nppl, millennium. Was sad nppl got shut, used to go me and my friends, wander around the stadium, get backpack filled with monster, would sneak into the pro pits and ask them if they needed pod bitches, made tons of friends, those days are gone, damn do I miss SC village and Raza, you could go to Bob long and shoot the shit, walked out with solonoids and other parts for our Timmy's, then onto smart parts to check out the sft. Man I wish I could relive those days. What happened to the Game? Mwag, your a god among men, Thank you for this.
It is now a game of 12 year olds beating the hell out of me. MISCONSTRUED BUT HAUNTING... Thank you for all your videos pat! You inspired a generation of players to give their all!
Same got back into it YET AGAIN at 32, just way too much fun to pass up anymore....you literally are free on that field from reality, work, whatever your Brain needs to get away from. ONE OF THE FINEST STRESS REDUCERS OUT THERE, way better than sitting at home just tryin to "feel good" all day. Obviously it's a luxury spo⁶rt meaning that its like golf in terms of having your own clubs (marker,/air tank/loader/etc). Paint can be expensive, but it also use to be even more expensive when I was younger :*(. The greatest community of people ❤ so many friends you'll meet just the nicest people willing to help you out all around every paintball field in the States. The community alone is worth picking up the hobby...... to at least give it the good 'ole college try. Nothing like shootin & bunkering people and just get that anger out that energy out.
Watched this 15 years ago as a sophomore in high school. Watched it again today as a grown ass man. It brought me back so hard I remember things that I thought I lost…man I miss my old Impulse..
People forget that Bob Long took a random group of pros, taught them how to play a brand new never before played format while playing the tournament, against teams that practiced the format before and coached them to a win. It was the World Cup that they showed off XBall for the first time. If you ever see the team county Xball jersey that is from that tourney.
‘Random group of pros’ Lol. While Bob was great he had the best players in the world under him. Team USA was always going to win. Also the Nations Cup event was at the IAO, not the World Cup.
This the best paintball video by far. Still have the DVD. Watched it at work recently and decided screw it I'm going paintballing, after years of not playing.
I was big into paintball 7 years ago when I was 14, still rocking the proto rize I bought just as an introductory marker to use to get into the sport. My favorite thing was just going constantly, as much as I could, and playing speedball with the local guys to try and get better. Now, I'm finding myself having more time and an adult job where I can afford to play even harder, and I gotta say, I think it was what was missing from my life in the last 7 years. Thanks for making these films, they really mean a lot to me.
CK and and Heroes for a Day... by far the best DVD's ever made for Paintball. The music choices are amazing. Thanks Patrick! Excited to see what the new guys do with MWAG and CK3!!
The sheer amount of monster we drank, the smell of paint, the anxiety of being able to check out the latest dm5 asking bob long himself what you should do to your timmy, orings, ORINGS WAS THE BEST!, the excitement, the drive it took to get there, watching from the sidelines and then sneaking in the propits, meeting pros, getting free pods, paint, parts, advice, it was a time of unlimited possibilities!
Man, I still watch this. The drive, the passion, the aggression, and the grit. It’s all here. If only I had an functioning time machine... There will always be something great to take from each of these players. Everything about the game in the early 2000’s was truly a gift for the world to look back on. There will always be a lot to take into now, and into the future.
I watched this movie every night before a tournament for like 3 years. Just to get me pumped and help me focus on my goals. I wanted to be like those guys. I wanted to play on XSV. I never made it that far. NXL wasn’t as popular back in 2008 when I played. We were still playing 5 man NPPL rules. Lots of east coast tournaments. I miss the thrill. But I’m old and washed up now. I will always remember the glory days.
It was a treat seeing one of today's best players being trained by the absolute legend Bob Long. Haven't watched this in almost 15 years and it just as good as back then.
I’m so thankful I was playing competitively at this time. I was only 15 years old playing with 20-40 year olds. Packing up in my buddies suburban 8 deep, stuffed in a one bed motel. It was odd being so young but I am so thankful because this was probably the best time in paintball. Going to CFOA had the whole city hotels/motels booked, no vacancies. I remember the only way I was able to afford the sport at 14-15 was by flipping guns on PBnation. I went through probably 50 guns in 3 years starting from a pmi piranha & wgp autococker. Traded all the way up to An Alias intimidator, dm6, Dynasty shocker, dm3, an Ego 06, and a pm5 with UL frame. We lived off Cici’s pizza and the whole team worked together to get to these tournaments. It was one of the best times in my life. Now I’m getting back into the sport and I don’t think I’ll ever relive it but it’s worth a try! Love this sport
love this whole video. Gives me chills to this day. Those ripper timmys of BL were the best shooting guns and the milling was nasty. Great to see Field One carrying on that milling style. The Lasoya part, Matty, Bob. Ollie, Alex, Lundqvist so good all of it really. Thank you for loading this up. I used to watch this on repeat at the the field.
I still find myself doing the Bob Long Patented Half Fan/Half Walking the trigger thing. I don't know why I do that but I've been doing it ever since I started playing.
Man where has time gone, training against Hostile Intentions in Australia to make our team better in semi pro div in Aus (circa 2007-2009) I was mid 20's, earning descent money in another career but spent it ALL on paintball haha
I was paying more attention to the hardware being used. Those XSV Autococker + Egg setups looked sweet, sure they probably weighed a ton but who cares when it looks that good!
Same here man. This is the last era of paintball I actually gave a shit about. Soon after this all the guns and gear started to look the same and every gun shot 30 bps. I really miss the days of mech cockers, angels, and impulses. Fun to watch this and reminisce but sad to know it will never be the same.
@@JustinWilliams-ed2ug im not interested in making a change in paintball. I have other passions in my life. I will always appreciate my time playing in the early 2000s and look back on those days with a smile.
Would have been nice if this was remastered like Push was but it’s still utterly fantastic and I really appreciate it being up on RUclips. Any chance of Sunday Drivers being put on this channel or is it tied up in music licensing nonsense?
I wish paintball was this great still and 15 bps people want to see people get lit up plus I love lighting people up lol this 10 bps or whatever it is now I haven’t played in years is ridiculous guns are made to ramp and be amazing
Why did you retire from doing projects? All the videos these days are soulless. I miss when the music made you feel what the players were battling with instead of it just being a silly highlight reel that doesn’t make sense.

this game was way too fun. I could only afford to play walk-ons and at some practices for a few years, but I loved playing till around 06'.
Team Kolohe #1
We wouldn't f*** with that McDonald's too much we just went to an all-you-can-eat buffet once a day
Still the standard for spotlighting the best pros of this sport.
Oh, without a doubt.
I still have an 08 ego I’ll never get rid of with the empire loaders haha 😂

Same here, trying to get back again!
Me too lmao. I came back last yr
Two days ago I hit the field for the first time in eight years. Still absolutely love this sport.
Been 20 years, soon
@@johncouture6752 18-19 years here since last played speedball, 😢soon. Going sometime this month & go shoot with basic guns get the feel again.

@@bobbycorps7891 extremely well said
@Bobby corks
Yeah-exactly man
Very well put
One of the best paintball classics ever
This is the video that got me into tournament paintball.
Watched this 15 years ago as a sophomore in high school. Watched it again today as a grown ass man. It brought me back so hard I remember things that I thought I lost…man I miss my old Impulse..
I never used one, but those old bricks were a sight to see in these old videos.
I feel like I did the same lol. Watched this when I was 14 and just recently saw it again
ollie scene is a work of art. so well done.
Even among the best, Ollie still stands out from them all.
Legend and the GOAT
Ends with him getting STITCHED UP!! PAINTBALL GODS EQUALIZE ALLLLL
It’s been 10 years since I’ve watched this and it STILL HITS!
Yes it does
By far my favorite pb DVD ever.
Used to watch it again and again when I was 18-19 yo.
AMAZING!
i used to watch this everyday after high school. such an awesome piece of work.
The ollie lang section changed my life.. I still catch myself singing tht onlinedrawing song randomly
Yes!!! Love to see these older videos come back to the surface!
The soundtrack in these films were such bangers. Good memories.
This makes me feel old.

Lol. While Bob was great he had the best players in the world under him. Team USA was always going to win.
Also the Nations Cup event was at the IAO, not the World Cup.

Grew up in Socal playing paintball and watching this religiously. Glad its on youtube now! i remember buying this dvd at NPPL HB way back when
I remember this was one off the best paintball film, but didn't remember it was that good ! Had a great time rewatch that, many thanks
CK and and Heroes for a Day... by far the best DVD's ever made for Paintball. The music choices are amazing. Thanks Patrick! Excited to see what the new guys do with MWAG
and CK3!!
300 fps, CK, HFAD, all are classics of a time we all want back.

I would give anything to re live this era of paintball with the boys. Good times.
if only paintball players still experienced life like this
Doing the lord's work uploading these
It was a treat seeing one of today's best players being trained by the absolute legend Bob Long. Haven't watched this in almost 15 years and it just as good as back then.
Seeing young tyler Harmon when bob long was coaching is truly an amazing thing to see considering Tyler is one of the best players in the world
Thank you for bringing this to us

Man. Remember getting this for Xmas in 04, back in highschool. With my old Spyder Fenix
Oliver Langs segment still to this day gives me chills 😂 the nostalgia is crazy right now
I miss the anticipation in the start box, and the sound of the guns rolling on the air bunkers
this brings me back! heck yes!
love this whole video. Gives me chills to this day. Those ripper timmys of BL were the best shooting guns and the milling was nasty. Great to see Field One carrying on that milling style.

Still hands down best Paintball Movie of all time nothing comes close
Nothing.
I'm glad this is here cause I have the DVD and no where to play it. Best pb film of all time.
History. Tradition. Thank you Pat for uploading this time in paintball.
This vid is a core memory of mine
I was one of those 12yr olds beating the hell out of Ron. I used to be a Bushwacker.
seeing a young harmon getting coached by bob long is amazing
Thanks for uploading this video, it was one of my favorites when I still played. Stopped playing competitively in 2006 out of San Diego. Good times 🤙🏽
Awesome seeing a young Tyler Harmon
Le meilleur film de paintball
Real OG dvd here. One of my favs and still rock the stickers on my goggles
Appreciate this being on RUclips. Helped me get my Iron Kids band 😅 didn’t have to dig though the old dvd box
shit hit in 2005 when i was 16, still hits now om 2023
awesome film. I have always loved playing paintball
Bob Long, walking example of dunning kruger.
Classics and great pb
Wild that Tyler Harmon is in this video at like 12.

One of my favorite movies alk time!!!
Just curious, why blurring on the Miami Effect logos during Lasoya?
Edit: I see it's all the old NXL logos
Everyone starts out like Alex and ends up like Ron.
I wish paintball was this great still and 15 bps people want to see people get lit up plus I love lighting people up lol this 10 bps or whatever it is now I haven’t played in years is ridiculous guns are made to ramp and be amazing
It’s like I watched this a lifetime ago.
What song is playing during Bob Longs clip? Long is a legend!
Elseworth-The Killing Spree
Can yall please re-upload just that ollie section? I hate that it's been taken down, I watched it regularly.
The best ever 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Please for love of paintball someone tell me the song at 44:30 for Ron Kilbourne's plug. One for the nostalgia play list
Elseworth-On and On
Damn, right in the childhood.
Still have my original DVD
I have them both. I still find myself watching this in full length now...have been to many of the events featured in the video.
This was it man. People were involved, watching and investing. Why? Bc 15 bps guys were getting their fuckin asses shot apart....
Now nobody besides players knows it even still exists. Sad stuff.
thank you!
Damn man stumbled across this one. Haven’t seen since my sophomore year of college. Dude a young Tyler Harmon 32:05 getting coached by Bob Long!
love seeing the karnivors w/ "eggolution" loaders! LOL
oh the memories
6:10 is still the roughest dives I've ever seen. I think Vegas broke a finger in that one.
Wondering when CK2 going to be uploaded on the channel
Is this better video quality than the DVD? Or pulled from it?
Seeing Tyler Harmon then and now
He was a little whippersnapper lol
Awesome!!
Any chance you'll be uploading ck2?
Soon :)
Ooooooooooh snap!
Any ideas guys? What song is playing during Bob Long clips?
Elseworth "The Killing Spree"
Why did you retire from doing projects? All the videos these days are soulless. I miss when the music made you feel what the players were battling with instead of it just being a silly highlight reel that doesn’t make sense.
I was trying to get some late night work done. Welp....
Why aren't there chapters?
whats the song name during rocky knuths part?
From autumn to ashes is the band
I would love to have the song that starts at 3:00. Never get tired of this
