Last night Forest Brown died in his sleep. I'm sure some of you old timers know or knew about him. Just passing it on.

Thank you for everything you did for the sport Forest.

RIP.

Sorry for the loss Justin and family.

Sad to lose anybody. Condolences to his family.

I personally have never heard of him.

Anyone want to share with us newcomers some of his contributions?

Challenge Park Xtreme is taking shape quickly, heading toward it's projected grand opening in September of this year. Labor Day weekend is targeted as the opening date

Kinda weird this is labor day weekend.

That place sounds incredible. A lot like Hollywood sports park out here in California I guess.

That place is incredible and it's the location of the Living Legends games held every year... That article I posted was from July 2000... Most people just call it CPX Sports now but it's the same as in the article minus the BMX Track,,, Skate Park and Mountain Bike Trails which have now been converted into more paintball playing fields...

Oh no. wow. That is not good. Forest was like a mentor to me back in the day. He is/was one of my favorites. One of the good guys for sure. I have been hoping to see him each year at Living Legends, but now that will never happen. Man, what a great guy. He was nothing but super nice to me and my team over the years. I have a couple pictures of him from the 'old' Challenge Park.

When and where is the service?

I think I know where I want to go play paintball next summer. Yeah roadtrip! This guy had a vision, and an incredible one too. Wish there was one of his parks like that near my neck of the woods.
