by: Dave Pando Nick Slowiak is more than just a paintball player. He’s a business man, philanthropist, a star on Houston Heat, and overall just a great guy. You don’t see many pro players making gestures like he did this past weekend at the SIDS Awareness Tournament at i:70. What made you want to be a part of this event?

After a LOT of anticipation, the SIDS Awareness 3-man Tournament ended up being a major success. Joey Phlipot raised over $10,000 (and counting) towards his new foundation in his son’s name, the Landen Thomas Phlipot Foundation. Players walked away with more than just a feeling of gratitude after this event. They either left with awesome prizes, INSANE raffle items, or a picture with soon to be paintball legend Nick Slowiak, but more than anything players walked away with a sense … →

After the finals match I walk up to the team and behind me I see their Captain Nate Lelle and teammate Cody Shook sprinting full speed to the parking lot.

What I want everyone to realize is that the NCPA National Championships are … →

A sexy collection of old-school Ohio ballers are representing us HARD in Southern California at the 2012 NPPL Surf City Open! After going 4-0 on Friday and 3-1 Saturday, Ohio Power (playing for Steve Pisek of Pinnacle Woods) is sitting at a NICE 3rd seed going into Sunday in D3 7-man.
