The "Cheese (http://www.automags.org/forums/showthread.php?t=149884)" thread got me thinking, and as a point of comparison I'd like to throw this link out there.

http://www.webdogradio.us/video/oldschool/paintball_oldvid.mpeg 16 Meg size, 1:18 run time (mpg files are just freaking huge, sorry)

I'd put it live on the site, but I have NO clue the context of it. I'm guessing that it's a promotional video distributed to fields in order to bring in corporate customers (Hence "Paintball Seminars"). The gear (and big hair) leads me to think it's from the late 80's, possibly as early as '86. I don't know who distributed the video, or even who ripped it. It's just a random thing I've found, but I have no idea where it came from. Even if you don't know anything about it, you might get a good snicker out of it. (Yes, if you look carefully, there's UVEX goggles in that clip)

Any old timers? Don't make me drag this into the Tinkerer's guild...

Brought back a lot of old memories. I love that some refs are wearing the shop glasses and not even the UVEX goggles. It is also great in the beginning where they start talking about how women are on equal ground in paintball and then follow that up with zooming the camera in on a girl's butt putting pants her cammo pants on.
