Yeah, I don't think extreme sports should be the olympics. But paintball will probably one day be involved with the x-games.

doubt it...the x-games isn't really based on teams. Paintball has gone to the olympic counsel or whatever and missed it by a very small amount of votes. If you take into account how many countries paintball is played in, it could very well be an olympic sport someday. People call it an extreme sport, but it really isn't that extreme considering its safety record. I just consider it extreme because its 200 mph dodgeball.

Lol @ the 200mph dodgeball comment. Never thought of paintball that way, but thats what it is. I know ive heard from somewhere, that the xgames were considering paintball, but im not sure and my memory isnt exactly the most reliable source.
