Long time friend and photographer Michael Wise, the starter of paintball photography company Chrono300, has been putting together photo flip books available for viewing at no charge. Mike has been shooting paintball since 2003, standing behind his motto of “Paintball Pictures For Players” even to this day.
As the 2009 season final events have concluded, we will see many end of year write-ups surface as people give their perspective of how things played out for them. Now, i’d like to share with you Mike’s view on the 2009 PSP World Cup and the 2009 USPL Las Vegas events. Check out the view from behind the lens in the full edition here.
Great work to Mike and all other hands on deck for this project! Be sure to stop by and check out previous photobooks over at Chrono300.com.
The USPL and 7-man format have been a hot topic in our Pro Paintball Smack Box. Throughout the course of the 2009 season, the paintball community has argued the pro’s and con’s of paintball supporting two national circuits and the viability of the sport on the pro level. No stranger to stirring the proverbial pot, the Information Merchant has put together a thought provoking open letter to the USPL. Peer into the crystal ball and see “what could have been” and “what was” in the sport of Paintball. This is one article you won’t want to miss. Read the full article →
Dynasty have just beat Oakland Blast for the event win, but Blast still take the series title for 2009. Congratulations to both teams!
1st- San Diego Dynasty
2nd- Oakland Blast
3rd- Edmonton Impact
4th- Infamous
This was the first win for Dynasty in a series which til now has been all about DC Arsenal. The Vegas finale showed no love to the now former series leader DC Arsenal. The team received two penalties that pulled them from the runnings; the first for an illegal gun, and the second for unsportsmanlike conduct which ultimately placed the team in 12th. Their poor performance at the NPPL Vegas event ultimately cost them the series title. Wow.
Stay tuned for the official Pro Paintball photo galleries from the event, courtesy of Robert Abitia.
