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.....

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!

LEARNING CURVE.
We're back. It's official and I know I don't just speak for myself when I say it was the best decision we've made in a long time, well that and getting off our asses to make the GFH blog happen.
Have we learned anything so far this year now we're ballers again? The answer is yep, shit loads if I'm honest and we got some werk to do. We've always stayed in touch with the game and seen new teams come and go, rules change and the shift between the original XBall style of play to how teams play now and there are definite differences.
I used to skate, and I loved it!! I gave it up a long time ago then paintball replaced it for my adrenaline buzz. A year or so ago I went for a skate again with my old gang and picked it up again pretty quick. You can't really do that with paintball. Why? Well for one, your board doesn't change the way you deal with it and challenge you every time you try a trick but with paintball you have another group of guys shooting at you, being more aggressive and being more tactical. This is even before you remember what you should do when you make the 50. If you get there at all.
You see, the game's moved on. There's a much more collective mindset across all skill levels, not the huge talent gap like there was half a dozen or so years ago. The teams who would never even think of aspiring to play the top boys are actually playing the same game, albeit without quite as much desire to be the very best. So you don't get an easy re-introduction; you have to fully 'compete' to ease yourself back into the scene. Which is hard, but if I'm honest, exactly what we want and need.
So where does this leave us and what are we gonna do this year? Simple. We always want to play the very best we can and have a ton of fun doing it. It would be awesome to move up the ranks with the Planet Eclipse factory team, the SandBaggers, and play some exciting paintball that is great to watch, super fun to play and a little bit scary at times for our opponents. This won't happen straight away, we learned pretty quickly that our guncraft needs some werk and our fitness is lacking, but these things are easy to fix. We're planning a few training days over the next few months to brush up on our winning skills and there should be a clear difference in how we play, even at the next event. Once we're back on form there should be no stopping the GFH from whuppin' a few asses.
Has the progression if the game put us off a full blown competitive comeback tour? Hell no!! If anything it's made us want it so much more.
GFH: Coming to podium near you. Soon.

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...

DAILY PUMP - HIJACK
Yup, it's me again stealing the airwaves with my old school balling pumps. We know that, no matter what age the film is, we all love a good balling clip so I'm trawling through some awesome Traumahead footage to see what we can pleasure you with next, until the slick nu-school fancy kids do some more NASA shit.
Check out this one from 05 for Huntington Beach, see I can have some kind of modern relevancy, interesting to see how things have changed in 7 years. Seems less aggressive these days.
Until next time, have a good wash and always keep it GFH.

DAILY PUMP - HIJACK!
Ok, don't tell Chris but I thought I'd jump in and hijack his daily pump today. He's been super busy and, well let's be honest, a bit of a GFH slacker this week so I'm gonna steal all his glory!!
And what can I bring to the table? Some OLD SCHOOL BAAAAAAWLIN!!!! Straight from 2004 yo, here's a little Traumahead treat.
Yep, bad quality video, no fly-by cams, no slo-mo or dub step just raw, noisy Trauma Trauma Traumahead Sportz.
Awesome!

NPPL. WHAT'S THE SCORE?
Well, as per my boy Chris' post and the lack of anything to get us involved with the NPPL as it happened, we come to final score time. The Breaking News feature at the top of the page is updated as soon as we know basic headlines, so we were all over that literally as soon as we knew. But, here are the full rundown of who finished where at the NPPL Huntington Beach 2013 event.

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.

THE SCORES ARE IN!
Ok, so the weekend's Millenium Series Mediterranean Cup is officially OVER!! Where we there? Nope. Maybe one day we'll be able to go to more BIG events and post live reports as they happen, but for now we can only watch streams, read reports and see what's happening in other ways.
From what we saw, the event looked good. The standard of play seemed high and even better was the fact we played the same field set-up at last weekend CPPS event, so it was great to see how the big boys played the bunkers.
The guys at the Millennium Series had a crack at showing a live feed which, if I'm honest, wasn't as good as what Paintball Access do, but those guys have some dollar bills behind them and that is pretty much what they're hanging their hats on. The LiveStream they did set up though was a damn site better than NO feed. Hats off for making the effort and I for one enjoyed the games I managed to catch.
Our boys did awesome and managed solid showings across all divisions considering the quality that was out there. Not even starting to make any Brit excuses on this; we've always been seen as being at the back of the pack when it comes to high end balling with a tiny talent pool, but for the past few years we've started to build a much stronger presence with some seriously talented ballers coming through. Very exciting times for us to get back into the game and see it all unfold.
Right then. Here are the results. Take them as you will but the big result of the event was Ton Tons taking down the awesome Edmonton Impact, 5-3 in the CPL Final. They showed some fantastic paintball with powerhouse moves and solid tactical play.
Next results update will be NPPL Huntington Beach, where it seems some shock teams are in the final 4.
For now, Millennium Mediterranean Cup Results:
CPL.
1: Toulouse Ton Tons
2: Edmonton Impact
3: Art Chaos Moscow
4: Polar Bears Tarko Sale
D1:
1: London Defiance
2: Scorpions Milano
3: Instinct Gemoss Riga
4: Bad Boys Oss
SPL:
1: Force Majeure Moscow
2: Offenberg Comin At Ya
3: London Tigers
4: Hellwood Paris
D2:
1: Elite Ile D Oleron
2: Diaspora Vilnius
3: Lucky 15s Staffordshire
4: Extreme Neapolis
D3:
1: Apocalypse Brussels
2: Bulldog Alencon
3: Hitsquad Europe Limburg
4: Evil Men Toulouse

GFH DOES A LITTLE HADOKEN.
A few weeks ago we went for a nice walk to our local for a bit of Sunday noms with the fam; me, my wife, sister and sister's fella, and he'd seen the flash-in-the-pan craze of Hadokening on TV. We walked, we talked then decided to have a crack at it and take a few snaps.
For those who don't know, it's super easy and a bit of a laugh; just have one of you throw out a Streetfighter Hadoken move, or any Streetfighter move to be honest and pretend you're all getting owned. Simple.
This was fun. Then the GFH got involved and we decided the CPPS needed to feel some GFH Hadoken love. Which was also fun. Until we nearly missed a game, but hey you gotta live a little right?
Anyways, here are some pics, have a giggle, have a go and don't forget to #hadoken.
I'm off to Yoga Flame my Tiger Uppercut out of my Hundred Hand Slap. Too much spicy food you see.

LOVE THE SMELL OF PAINTBALL IN THE MORNING.
It's on!! The GFH are officially on our way to our first event of the season. The CPPS is THE only series to attend in the UK, with a real Cup Event feel to it, making every leg feel special for all divisions.
We got two SandBaggers teams in this event, one in Div4 and the one we're ballin' with in Div2.
I'd forgotten how much the 4:50am starts hurt but I'd also forgotten how AWESOME that paintball morning vibe feels.
Just waiting to see the sunrise and the paintball mist rising from the cool dewy morning ground.
We'll keep you posted as we go, but for now it's on!!!!!
I'd also forgotten how bad paintball ass smells too.

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.

DAILY PUMP
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 ...

APRIL FOOLS OR BREAKING NEWS?
So I saw a little rumor earlier, but can anyone really take anything they see on April 1st for real! It involves a certain Mr Ryan Greenspan playing for Huston Heat in the Millennium series. Allegedly cos Federov plays for Art Chaos in Europe they've drafted Greenspan in to make up the numbers.
Now we all know Ryan loves a trip abroad so it wouldn't surprise me if he made the journey over to France for the first Millennium, but if he plays for Heat it's gonna surprise the hell out of everyone, me included!
Think this can well and truly be taken with a pinch of salt, but they always say there's some truth in every rumour, so you heard it here first ;)
