I mentioned in another thread earlier today that I'd post a vid of us playing with ReBall indoors. So, here it is.
http://media.putfile.com/SitkaReBallVideo1
Now, before you comment, allow me to give you the setup to this video. I live on an island in Southeastern Alaska in a community of just under 9000 people called Sitka. No roads in or out, and if you want to come here, you'll need to take a plane or boat. Up until this video, all paintball here was played outdoors in the woods. No speedball or anything like that.
About 7 months ago, some of my friends and I had the crazy idea of figuring out a way to set up a speedball field indoors. After some consideration, we decided to try to find a place to play, get some bunkers, and shoot each other with ReBall. We had to jump through some hurdles, such as what to do for bunkers, and where to play, but eventually we got everything figured out, and on January 29, 2006, Sitka had it's very first game of speedball.
Some things to keep in mind while watching:
1) I apologize for the shakey camera. I forgot my tripod, and it was a bit difficult to keep the thing steady much of the time. Also, the program I used to put the video together was new to me, so I know it's not that good. ;)
2) With the exception of a few of us, no one has ever played speedball. Practically everyone has done nothing but play in the woods. Also, three of the people in that video have never played paintball at all before this. So, in other words, most of us realize we suck, so we don't need to hear more about it. ;)
3) We only had 1000 ReBalls to go around, so between games we had to pick them up and reuse them. It took 5 or 6 people 3-4 minutes to pick up everything that got shot. We now have 3000 I think.
4) I was operating the camera the whole time, so no video of me in these videos.
Anyway, the first game in the video is our first ever speedball game. The video itself is about 20megs and about 5min 30seconds long. If you have any questions about it, PM me or just reply to this thread. Hope you enjoy the vid.
