Lessons with Ollie Lang?

[RavishingEddie]

I would this be worth it? 1 day event with lessons from Ollie Lang, Free lunch and a signed poster of him! $200.00!! I know he is real cool and all but can I get the same from watching training videos?

[Pacifist_Farmer]

I can't offer much help here, but does it just sound stupid to anyone else?

I imagine you get "lessons" and Ollie comes out for 20 minutes to show off some slides, and then he's gone.

I feel not worth it.

[where am i?]

I can get hands on lessons any time I want its called go to a field on team night. Like here at boston paintball the Hurricanes come every team night.

[Miscue]

Personally I think it's goofy.

See if you can find out more. If it's an open invitation, plan on many many people being there and getting no quality teaching time in. If there are only five of you with him for two hours, I think you could learn something. More info?

ive been wondering why you so good

[dave p]

uh, no.

If you can afford it, go for it. Oliver Lang is, at the moment, probably the best tournament player in the world. If you want to learn, might as well learn from the best.

I know the sentiment against PBN here, but if anyone wants to see some pics of a recent clinic around here, I'll drop a link at the bottom of this post. I'm not associated with anyone involved, didn't go, but saw the pics this morning.

really? I don't think he's the best...just probably the best poster boy for paintball. Don't get me wrong, he's good, but I think there are better players out there.

Like was said earlier....5-10 people there, you'd prob learn something....much more than that and it'd be a waste of $200.

i wouldnt go myself, as you can probably learn just as much from playing with a good local team. but as others have said, see if you can find out how many other people are going. my guess would be 20-40, but if its a small group, then it might be worth it.

do they let single players in on team night at BPS? i know they used to, but that was when team night was wednesday night, which is now bring your own equipment night.

$200!!! Screw that. I might as well get me an X-valve. It's worth more than anything Ollie can teach me.

[mag_lover05]

i would pay the 200, get in my lesson, and half way through kick him in the teeth. what a tool. personally, i think hes a DONKEY!

but does it just sound stupid to anyone else?

ABSOLUTELY!

Ollie lang get's so much press for making one move, he is not the best player in paintball. There have been and there are much better players than him. For example, Konstantin Federov, a front for them crazy Russians, has made many better moves than Ollie. Konstantin plays on a better team, and has more skill. I would pay 400$ to spend a day with Konstantin, who is a much better player, and dosen't rely on press to give him his skills.
Even players on his ld team Dynasty such as Alex Fraige and Ryan Greenspan are much better all around players than him. Don't get me wrong, Ollie is a great paintballer, he is just a marketing figurehead for many companies such as Smartparts and now DYE. I just hate the amount of press he gets when there are much better palyers than him.

DONT DO THE STUPID TRAINING!!!

Meh, you're just jealous he gets paid thousands of dollars to paintball and all you can do is bunker noobs with your SS-25.

I heard Ollie likes when people suck up and defend him. Mabe he will give you free admission to his camp, and a free DM7.
