Paintball 2 Xtremes television on SPIKE TV

[P8NTBALLER590]

the only problem is that we are the only people that are going to wake up early enough to watch paintball on tv. other people are still sleeping and dont set their alarm clock to watch paintball but we do so rock on!

ok...I' m just going to say it.
I found it a bit...well......like one long advertisement. 30 minutes long to be exact.
I understand TV time is expensive but I was hoping for something less like the magazines on the market today. Maybe more player info or possibly some game info. Definately looks like you cant get much info in with a 30 minute show.

I realize this is the premier show but what about episodes that deal with common subjects? Why try to cram as much general info into 30 minutes that you can? This seems a bit more confusing to those that do not know anything about paintball. I would like to see the first episode letting us know, as viewers, what to expect out of the new show then at the end.......Next week we are blah blah blah....and "you know who" will be here to discuss his new cracker jack bongo killing jell flinger. On each episode (for about the first 5 minutes) you could reintroduce what the show is about or how about during the opening !!! Then we dont use up any show time.

Yes....that would be in Bobs perfect world. I bet I just end up with another 30 minute commercial next week. To take a quote from my 13 year old paintball baller "All I saw was 30 minutes of advertisements but the Bob Long one was nice".

It was one giant commercial. Gino even put his cousin Johnny in one of the NPS Spots!

Johnny works for NPS in Sales. So not sure why it's a problem to see him when they showed clips going through NPS?

Yes there was a significant element of advertising but hopefully an ad for paintball as well as for National???

Do you think there was any benefit there in that way?

Many shows on Spike are just like that. Maybe you don't notice because we aren't so involved with the industry the other shows promote? Do you ever watch the car tuning shows? Same thing.

It cost a huge amount of money to get it onto TV, so you can expect the sponsors (err Gino) to use it as ad space also.

So far I believe Gino has footed the whole bill. As more sponsors come on board I would expect to see it develop and change to show a broader spectrum of the industry.

Also it wasn't aimed at seasoned paintball players, more new people and trying to get recognition.

Right now I bet a lot of people are going, 'wow paintball's not what I thought it was'... and I think that's a good thing?!?

History is written by the victors!

Did you actually see the show Sam?

One thing that's very clear is 30 minutes isn't long to show enough of what everyone wants. Lets hope that if this series works, next time we will get a 1 hour show... and then more TV's shows.

You have to start somewhere. :)

Agree completely. Fingers crossed that paintball on TV moves in that direction.

I'm currently sat in front of Spike still watching all the car tuning shows for different cars/trucks/racing/offroad/street etc. Hopefully it won't be too long before we have the same for paintball. But until then at least we have a start with a decent regular slot on TV!

When was that?

They were interviewing one of the founders of paintball and they showed scenes of him playing in Shattnerball talking with Tom.

Atleast I know how a blowback works now

Not very intersting to me, but we got to start somewhere

Manike-
