    RIP Forest Brown

    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.

      Yes it is. Sadly most players now have no idea who he was or what he did.

            CPX, while expensive, is one of my favorite parks to play at. just can't deny the field of bedlam. now my next outing in october will be sad.

                  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?

                        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?
