Actually, snowboarding, I also do snowboarding in the winter when I can. It's only expensive if you compete. Even then, its a individual sport. But for a day on the slopes, maybe $65 for the ski lift, then food and water depends on if you bring or buy. Plus, if you get a season pass, its cheaper if you go a lot. Plus I live far from a mountain. Driving is about the same for both paintball and winter sports.

Honestly, what's keeping paintball from growing and expanding back into it's former glory is the media reputation it's gained. Not many other extreme sports suggest shooting each other with projectiles. Some people also get feared away from the sport when they look at the price of the sport. That's the main reason. Not everyone can afford 100 bucks a weekend.

Sometimes people think that using a gun-type marker for a sport isn't good. People get afraid of others knowing how to shoot other people. I'm like: "Please, you kill zombies and soldiers in videogames, and you don't like people shooting paint rounds?.... pathetic". Euther way, those who don't play are missing something BIG.

Paintball is a great sport. Everyday at you local paintball field you will see new people every time. They might have new gear if they like the sport or they may have to rent some of the equipment. The sport might not seem the greatest but to some people it's the whole world. To me I love the sport and hope someday getting to tryout for a team and make it. Anyways I'm happy that Russian Legion will get some new players and give them an opportunity to play in the PSP events.

No one should care why it hasn't grown like other extreme sports. We are a family, we don't need it to be a huge sport for US to love it. You can't help but feel bad for people that miss out on playing paintball, though. If there was something we could do for them, we sure as Hell would do it. But we should all want paintball to be bigger, better, yet still be grateful for what it is today.

it isnt growing because of politics abd the paint prices

[joeneverforget8088]

I think its not growing because the people that hear about paintball go to try it and everyone is ramping and gets bonus balled a millon times and then they don't come back
