Paintball Advertisement

So i’m sat watching prime-time TV, when the advert break is in full force and amongst all the noise, colours and bombardment of advertisements offering everything from insurance to visiting Wales, I hear the words ‘paintball’. Paintball is never advertised on TV? But then I realised it was one of those funky moon dog websites that offer customized cards for any occasion.

But this made me realize that, even though I’ve only seen one advert on TV for paintball (See Skirmish Paintballs advert), the paintball industry has done pretty well when being placed inside of adverts. Many of the larger companies pay insane amounts of money to create fast paced and cutting edge adverts, and when paintball is used as the back drop, then the industry benefits greatly without the cost.

There has been a fantastic array of adverts over the years that have used paintball as their main theme to sell their products, selling anything from cars, to energy drinks, to lottery tickets.

These videos aren’t posted in any order of preference, more a case of added when I found them.

4. Euro Millions

We just like to point out that some of the players may not be wearing masks, and that is something we do not accept at Skirmish Paintball Games. Everyone is given the latest in paintball safety equipment!

A run down of paintball videos

Over the last few days i’ve had a flourish of paintball videos sent through to me, so i thought i’d share them with all you lovely people in cybespace!

This first video was post on our facebook wall a few days back, and was taken by one of our customers over at our paintball Nottingham venue using a helmat cam:

The second video today is an animation of a paintball skirmish. Excellent use of animation here, dont you think!

There are plenty more, but i’ll keep this post very short and very sweet!

Fantastic stag party ideas

Tradition suggests that stag parties can be monumental, epic and any other word that describes a truly awesome day and night. You’ve probably heard of legendary night’s out to celebrate the stags final outing as a singleton; from being tied to a lamppost to being hauled into the back of a van and driven across country for a night on the ale.

Over the 25 years of being in the industry, we’ve had the pleasure of hosting thousand’s of stag parties and we’ve seen some amazing fancy dress costumes, along with some brilliant ways to ‘get the stag’.

With this in mind, I think its about time we introduced Nick Lovett; a loveable chap, who thought his stag day would start in a gentle (in comparison to his night)  fashion at Skirmish Paintball.

However, this was all thrown out the window when he was bungled into to the back of a mate’s van, tarred and feathered and then dumped at our site. In a bath tub. Right at the entrance. In broad daylight.

You have to have a look at the picture, word’s simply do not do it justice!

Poor bloke!

This is possibly the greatest stag prank we’ve heard about.

But there must be something better out there! Let us know, pictures would be even better
