MOUNTAIN DEW COMMERCIAL
Mountain Dew made a commercial with
Dale Earnhardt Jr. and paintball players!
Although the commercial does pose some
safety issues with the sport including overshooting
and masks coming off on the field (which is NOT ok), it
is a great promotional commercial for the sport. You see
paintball sometimes in movies but most of the time it is
unrealistic. Besides the obvious safety concerns and a
stock car on the field, it did a pretty great job at showing
how fun the sport can be! The more people we can get
to see how great this sport is and how much it is growing
the better.
TEAM DEFIANT, COMBAT WOUNDED VETERAN
PAINTBALL TEAM
Team Defiant consists of combat wounded veterans
and other disabled persons. They utilize equipment like
Action Track chairs to get disabled people outdoors
again doing the things they used to love to do. Team
Defiant is sponsored by Valken Sports, which is a support
system for this awesome group! These chairs that the
team utilizes are capable of going over all sorts of terrain
including tree stumps, fallen trees, rocks, and whatever
kind of terrain they may come across in scenario events.
Founder Spencer Tesanovich and his team are very
admirable for their strides they have made.
