Adrenaline: The Call of Paintball

Thursday May 17, 2007
Paintball Planet was always just a big building off the side of the freeway until one Saturday night I convinced my dad to take me and my brothers to go and try it out. I was only eleven, but I still remember the adrenaline rush as I crept around the corner of our base and saw opposing players on the distant side of the arena. Other people seemed to know what they were doing, so I followed their lead and we rushed up the stairs to the second level of the indoor course. It wasn't long, though, before I lost my courage and spent the game cowering behind a crate, but the next game I vowed to do better. Hundreds of games later, the same adrenaline rush still tingles my spine at the start of a game, and at the end, no matter the outcome, I vow to do better. The action, adventure, strategy, skill, and challenge have kept me coming back for many years. Now it's time to find out if paintball is right for you.
