Al's been super busy over the last couple of weeks sorting out the new GFH website. We've amazingly already outgrown the blog and I can't believe what he has achieved with the new site in such a small space of time! It takes the GFH to a whole new level and will be going live TODAY!!!!
Stay tuned and watch this space for an update as soon as we unleash the beast!

BITBURG FIELD LAYOUT
The Millennium has just upped the field layout for the Bitberg German Masters event. Perfect timing so all the fields that are training at the weekend can get on it early as the event is only on the 24th - 26th of next month.
It seems to follow the current PSP trend of no large back centre bunker and has opted to put a small cake there just to make those big back player curse... DAMN YOU!!! I kinda like this though as from what we saw at the last PSP and Millennium, and from the word we're hearing back from the MAO field layout practices, these sort of fields are super aggressive. And that my friends is what we here at GFH HQ are all about!
Other tasty bits on the field are the 4 D-side bags that are set up so there's a line straight down the tape. This should make for some awesome gun fighting and bumping up action, and probably a few good bunkering moves to boot! The snake looks pretty good and is more or less nicking the MAO layout with its 50 bag. Once the snake charmers get into that their are gonna be G's dropping all over the place as either they're gonna start feasting or all the guns are gonna turn and the D-side can bring the pain!
Either tape looks pretty decent, but I've a feeling the snake could be the dominant one with all those mini M's and then the bag. Lets see how weekend practices go and whether the teams that play it are loving the setup....

So while Al's busy with the new website design I guess I'd better get on with it and post some more ballin footage.....
A lot of you probably keep hearing us both go on about the CPPS. Well it's our main UK league, and is head and shoulders above any other UK league we've ever played in. Last event we were impressed with how professional the whole thing was, and you'll be glad to know that the guys over at OKPBTV have got the whole thing on film for your viewing pleasure.
The footage is of all the different brackets so there are a lot of different levels of play but you can see that everyone really brought their game! The Elite division is where it's at though and damn where some of those games good to watch.
Anyway, enough from me. Enjoy.....

ALL CHANGE AT GFH HQ.
Quick bit of noise and exciting goings on at GFH-HQ as we move into operation web design. Yep, the blog was thrown together quickly so we could get the GFH machine rolling hard, which it actually has and thanks to everyone that helped us reach nearly 3000 hits in less than 2 months. But, we want a nice website that we can build on so we've been working hard to design and build a cool place to get involved and enjoy more GFH!!
Don't worry though, we're huge fans of keeping things simple so we won't be following some of the other ballin' sites lead by trying to fit as much ugly content into every square pixel of space that we can. Ain't gonna happen. It's gonna be loud, clean, simple and easy to find all the stuff you wanna read about. The blog element is still the main bit but other things like reviews and interviews will be pulled out separately to make them easier to access.
There'll be teething problems and my love of tinkering means it'll no doubt change as we go but hopefully it'll be a better place to hang out.
Watch this space y'all!!

Been searching everywhere from some decent footage from the recent NPPL at Huntington Beach California and not really been having much luck. You can always count on the guys over at Social paintball to get some footage up sooner or later though.
So here it is. It's all of the dudes on Sacramento DMG during their HB battles, tearing up D2 and D3. Both the D2 and D3 teams managed 3rd places, which is pretty good.
Lets hope someone gets some more footage up soon of other teams and preferably the Pro bracket. I for one am dying to see some as there was no webcast!

Been a bit quiet on the pump front recently but were back with a sweet little video from the guys at KanyFilms with some footage of the Nor-Cal Fuzion D2 team.
Me and Al have had our eyes on the Fuzion camp for a bit now and they seem to be doing things right when it comes to pushing their plays to the next level. Shame they missed out on a spot in the PSP Challengers division, but I'm sure with the effort they're putting in, they should be pushing for a spot for the 2014 season.
This is only their D2 teams Dallas highlights and the D1 teams vid should be dropping soon. Pretty sure that'll get a DailyPump spot too!

PSP MAO FIELD UP
The PSP just upped pics of the Mid Atlantic Open field, and it's another crazy one!
There is a back centre this time, but it's not one that the larger back players have been praying for....It's a small cake! Looks like no one is gonna be stacking people up in that for delayed breakouts so maybe this I'd gonna be another aggressive field?
The D-side is looking pretty good too with plenty options. There's even a row of stand up cans just infield of the D's to block a few lanes, or maybe even nip into for the more adventurous players?!
Snake side is a bit different as there are some good stop off points at the mini race's, but the 50 D is gonna freak some of the snake boys out! It's on the wrong tape!!! Ha, sure they'll figure it out, but one things for sure, once they get into that point every gun on the field is gonna turn onto them!
Some other interesting bits are dotted about, and I wonder if more people are gonna take advantage of the centre race this time. Only a few teams used it to their advantage in Dallas, but when they did, it seemed to work real good. What do you kit think? Any crazy breakouts or plans that come to mind? Drop us a comment and let us know your top plays...

SO WHAT WENT ON AT NPPL HB?
To be honest, I've not really got much of a clue. There was no live webcast, which when even the Millennium series is managing it was a bit of a letdown. There were no live score updates on the NPPL website, they had results but were slow updating them. The only info we could really get was from the actual teams and players from their own Facebook and Twitter feeds! Go bless social media huh.
From the pictures the event looked really sweet. AstroTurf on the Huntington Beach sand with what looked like large crowds gathering to see what all the crazy guys with guns shooting at each other was all about. It always seems to portray the ideal ballin' image we all want to live and be a part of. The best looking event on the calendar, and one the public can engage with. Just a shame that the ballers who weren't there struggled to get any info, especially with how new media means we can be right on the money, at all times.
Some of the main news that we could gather were things like Dynasty dropping out Sunday morning to Uprising in a game that Ryan Greenspan described on twitter as 'an embarrassing loss.' Doesn't sound good, but from what I can gather Oliver Lang got a penalty that I think cost them the game. Thing is I've no idea what it was for? Anybody?
The final was the Texan boys from San Antonio X-Factor, who struggled in the first PSP event, facing off against new Pro team Vancouver Vendetta. Vendetta where stoked to make it into the finals but X-Factor's experience proved too much for them, taking X-Factor to their first win this season. Awesome job X-Factor! Hopefully they can bring it to the next PSP and really start to show their teeth.
Also it would be real nice if the NPPL could sort it for the Chicago Open in May to be webcast. Or maybe at least get some sort of live scoring thing going on for all us fans who can't make it over. They did it for a few events last year, and whilst it wasn't quite up to the big money showing the PSP put in with the awesome Paintball Access, it was still pretty good. Not having it at HB is a huge trick missed by the NPPL and one they need to get sorted quickly.
If this was the last Huntington Beach event by the NPPL, they didn't help things by not inviting the rest of the paintball world to their party.

Wait..What?!? We just did one? Well I'm afraid this bad boy just dropped and I've been waiting for it since the Dallas PSP. I could see from the webcast that Cassidy Sanders was right in there getting some sweet footage, and boy has he done a top job of putting it all together.
The HK army vids are some of the best out there and they've really gone to town on this one. Might have something to do with the fact that their main team, Dynasty, owned the event! Have a look and if you like it stick a comment under it and we'll love ya forever!

Sick of everything all about the pro's? Fancy something from the lower divisions to float your boat. Today's pump is from the Dallas div 3 final featuring the Dallas Jets on their home turf battling it out against the dudes on Syndicate. My money is on Syndicate, but only cos I think they have the best playing tops in paintball!
The vid is just raw footage courtesy of the guys over at Social again. Can't beat just watching two teams go at it and bust each other up for all the gold and glory.
NEW MAVERICK FOR TOPGUN
I know, I know that's the worst title you ever read! But it's kinda true? T1 Topgun Union (now Trenton Topgun Union) have just announced that they have managed to re-sign an ex superstar player. Ryan Martin of the LA Ironmen is returning home to the team that he helped kick some major ass with during the 2011 PSP season.
Now that Topgun have popped up into the new Challengers bracket they're gonna need some established Pro blood to give them that boost they need and smooth the transition, especially after loosing a couple of their more experienced players.
Look out for Ryan Martin smashing the D-side in the first Challengers event. Hopefully the guys over at Paintball Access will bring us some of the Challengers bracket action at the upcoming Mid Atlantic Open early next month. It should be a real interesting division!

NPPL UPRISING
So the NPPL has suffered a bit this year with the loss of some of the top dog pro teams to the PSP. Mainly XSV, Impact and Dynasty deciding they aren't gonna play, but instead concentrate on the PSP race to format. Well now some of the remaining teams are trying to step up and break open the NPPL league.
One of those teams is Portland Uprising. They just announced that seeing as most of the PSP teams are not gonna play the NPPL, they are taking the opportunity to sign 3 very high profile players. So it's Dave 'The Beast' Bains, Alex 'Mouse' Goldman and Corey Bornstein! They're still gonna stick with their regular PSP teams for that series, but just hop on Uprising for a trip on the NPPL train. With these guys on board Uprising should be able to take that next step to getting on the podium or maybe taking a win or two this year.
Huntington Beach is gonna be a bit of an eye opener this year as we should see which of the new NPPL pro's is gonna bring it and which are gonna get crushed!

Today's pump is Derders new Dallas Friday headshot. To be honest I was a bit disappointed with it. Footage and player interviews are as good as always, but it's being let down badly by the commentary! Usually Derder Robs dry but funny commentary cracks me up, but the guy doing this one sounds like he's gonna take a nap halfway through! Not what you need to get the audience into it.
Give it a watch anyway cos the rest of it is sweet like the Derder crew normally do. Action packed moves and good game coverage.

So the boys of Upton 187 Crew didn't do too well at Dallas, but it still doesn't stop them being one hell of an entertaining team! They've always been one of my favorites cos everybody loves an underdog, plus they tend to leave it all on the line. They push like crazy and that to me is good entertaining balling!
Here's Social paintballs latest vid covering 187 at Dallas and damn they make them look pretty good. Not too sure on this season new colours, compared to last years 187 jerseys, but I guess that's personal taste. Anyway check it out ...

How about some raw Dallas PSP footage of two of the higher ranked teams. Courtesy of the guys over at Social Paintball who bring us the semi final game between Damage and Impact. This was their second meeting of the tournament. During the first match Damage got the best of them, but lets see if Impact can even the record.....

THE END OF THE DAILY PUMP?
Crap. Just as we got started too, but I think this news affects more than just a few carefully selected paintball videos by our supremely tasteful eyes.
It affects EVERYONE!!
For those who've been spending the last 8 years trying to become a YouTube sensation, or been creating amazing footage from kids crying and falling over, right through to the latest compilation of the sickest paintball moves at the latest PSP event...it's all about to come to a triumphant end.
But, at least we got our looks right? Here's to an awesome April guys and gals.

This one features all your favorite pro teams battling it out and some slick slow-mo footage which we all love. Special shout out goes to Tyler Harmon's one handed gangsta bunkering to face plant at about the 2 min mark. Crazy crazy move!

More of the same really, some good D1 and Pro footage plus again they called in the UAV for the best aerial footage I've seen. Well done Spantastik. Taking ballin vids to a new level....A much higher level!
GFH REWIND: K2 CAMP MASTERS 2002.
So, Chris is gonna hate me for this but thanks to one of our original K2 team members, The Andy, we have rare footage of my comapdre speaking in public. With French subtitles!!
Nothing more to say other than the guy shouting his head off in the huddle at the start, getting the team PUUUUMPED...well, that's me but it aint the same as a full blown interview. Jealous? I do like a camera. So yes. There's time.
Enjoy.

I CAN'T ALWAYS BE RIGHT!
So rumour has it that the last Challengers team isn't in fact going to Oakland Fuzion who my money was on, but instead is allegedly going to be...... San Jose Royalty.
Fair enough I suppose as they are coached by the legend that is Shane Pestana and from the looks of their latest practice vid on YouTube, can hang with the big dogs.
This isn't fully confirmed yet so Fuzion could still be in with a shout. If they are out then good luck to Royalty and I'm sure Fuzion will get their shot sooner or later.
