Lessons with Ollie Lang?

[Tao]

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.

I have the same feeling, but then again some of these poeple are stand up guys and don't care aout the $$$$, they just do it for the fun.

I don't know anything about this guy or anything about any pro player (and I like it that way!), but for $200 you better get an 8 hour day.

I'd suck up to him for a DM7..lol
I think I'd do it, if it was like, the cost of field fee or something. That's just a hell of a lot of money to do a paintball seminar( I guess that's pretty close to what this is)

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.

I wouldn't mind a free DM7.

He used proper grammar and punctuation, only misspelled one word in the entire post, and didn't make a complete idiot out of himself.

/is that a first?

^Espicially from Ollie Lang, the best player ever. Mabe if he gave it to you, you would become a better player. And you would have more skill than me, while I'm just bunkering noobs with my SS25.

i say take the cash and buy paint.

No.
The other posts in this thread are just mildly retarded.

/wonders how Don can post so much useless info over such short period of time.

Naw, DM's aren't my style. I think I will stick to my Phantom.

P.S. The first time I cocked my spyder marked the day I developed more skill than you.

I'm planning on going to this to take pictures for Hollywood Sports. I've talked to Ollie a few times and he seems like a pretty chill guy. I've also video taped him playing right next to me and he's good, but like others have said he isn't the best. He's just like the Tony Hawk of the sport. There are better players out there, but non get as much press as him. He knows how to market himself and that in itself is a skill.

if i had the money to go to a pro clinic, i would, and ive been playing for about 7 years. there is a lot you can learn from the pros, of course the better clinics will have more pros and less people attending because youll get more 1 on 1 time with them.

i think that anybody in any sport would spend the $150-$200 it costs to learn from a pro if they can afford it.

as for everyone cutting up on Ollie: grow a pair and grow up. he may not be quite the best player out there, but he is deffinately near the top. part of his skills come from not only how to play, but how he can lead a team and how he learns quickly from any mistakes made(notice how he always walks off slow and trys to figure out how he got hit when he gets out, gaurantee he wont do the same thing the next point)

I was holding off on a similar post myself, in response to the "he's not the best" replies. No, he may not be THE best player out there, or even the best player in any given game, or on the tournament field today. I tend to think he's the best package player on the field today. He's a leader, a marketable face and name, a game breaker, and a solid all-around player. Can Player X do run-throughs better? Sure. Is So-And-So a better coach, or on-field captain? Probably. Is anyone more marketable right now? Trying to think of someone, and coming up blank. There's a few names, but nobody that pulls it off as well as Lang. Oddly, he seems to be a little sharper than your average player as well, and he's learned how to navigate the corporate paintball world well enough to take care of himself.

no way, you cocked your spyder? I don't know how to do that! hey can you teach me how to open my hopper lid? and mabe while your at it, teach me how to pull the trigger? geeze Paintball is so confusing.
