    PUBLISHER

    Let me introduce myself, My handle is Revgray. and I play as the

    backman for the Infamous Team 3NITY.

    1 2 3NITY !!!!!!)

    Well, honestly I am not of STAR Quality player and most of the

    time I am only a stand in player for the team . What I am is , I amthe jolliest player (rite) and the only JOKER in the Team and would

    be most happy in the midst of my team mates but hei thats only

    my word.

    Anyway, enough about me , the real question is, why am I rambling

    in here.

    MY ANSWER - For the love of the sport, I say. But why am I so in

    love with it ?

    I bet my 2 ringgit worth, all af you knows the answer.

    I would like to introduce to you guys, to BOLACHAT (surely some-

    one, somewhere would go, huh ?!!! BOLACHAT??? ) To those that

    are mystified by it.

    BOLACHAT translated literally would be Ball Of Paint ...hence its

    the correct connotation for Paintball. The other justification is

    BOLA - Ball , CHAT Cerita, jadi BOLACHAT is an e-zine that

    talks about ball, Paintball !!!

    BOLACHAT is only a kampung-kampung publication compared to

    the likes ofAPG and it wouldn't be a match toFACEFULL

    orPAIINTBALL Magazine .

    The point is, theres no point why I should nt do it .

    Enjoy the read and lets have some feedback so that maybe someday

    after all your complaints I would be able to publish a magazine at

    par with the above name publication.( mudah-mudahan)

    As always, play ball, support your fields and stay true to your mates.

    My best regards

    WHYPAINTBALL ?Before we even start jumping into the colourful world of Paint-ball, lets zoom out to the word 'extreme sports'.

    Lets face it, man/woman all around the world are pushing human limits to its edgeevery single day. That also includes sporting activities. Thus giving birth to a newgeneration of more exciting and thrilling sport.

    The Extreme sport.

    It doesn't just stop there. Today bungee jumping off a bridge is extreme enough, tomorrow, its just a child play. Whatever that willsatisfy the crave of adrenaline rushing in their vein, as long as it doesn't break, it can be pushed further.

    Little did Charles Gaines, Hayes Noel and Bob Gurnsey knew, that their bright idea of shooting out paint filled balls out of air gun,

    would catch on. They didn't realise that they are indeed, inventing a new type of extreme sports which is now played and lovedby more then 5 millions people around the globe today. Giving each and everyone of them their own personal experience inp a i n t b a l l i n g .

    Talking about personal experience, it doesn't take much to hooked someone to this sport. Just give them a marker and a mask and a bunch of people to shoot at, andit will work its magic. That's how I got dragged into this exciting addiction. Of course even extreme sport is not everyone's cup of tea, let alone paintball, but I've evenseen kids as young as 12 years old, hooked, and loving the sport. Who was annoyingly better then I'm. The natural fact that how it is enormously intense to sit behind abunker with pellets flying left and right and knowing that it won't stop until you mark your opponent, is such a remarkable rush. Even waiting in the starting point, withyour guns pointing away and your eyes locked into your enemy's , waiting for that long 10 seconds count down, is a heart stopping moment. With adrenaline lockeddown and ready to burst into waiting veins. Or when you're crawling up the 'snake' and visualizing in you're head where the enemy is. Or when your heart made asudden decision to burst up and do a run through even knowing how many guns will be pointing at your direction and a rain of pellets will fall upon you.

    Even after taking down one or two opponent, the rush doesn't stop there. It will only stop once you feel a tiny bite from a small paint filled gelatine ball, which later willu n l e a s h i t s t r u e n a t u r e . O r w h e n u f i n a l l y h e a r t h e g l o r i o u s " G a m e O v e r ! " c a l l b y t h e M a r s h a l l .

    Its an adrenaline fuelled sport, we already know that. Might as well jump off of KLCC. Right? Wrong. See what most people don't know is that paintball is more then just shooting your buddy in their bottom side on weekends, (which was a recorded misconception of paintball). Paintball requires skill and particular qualities.

    Whether its woods ball or speedball, teamwork is one of the major key to success. We're not talking about petty teamwork like the ones in football or basketball. Theteamwork, by standard, is beyond. We're talking about precision team movement, accurate team communication, team chemistry so on and so forth. Maybe just belowthe level of teamwork in special forces, such as SWAT or PASKAL. Well, practically, the concept of the game is similar to those of special forces, only you don't haveto kill or die while doing it. I can write a whole new article just about team working in paintball. But basically and realistically saying, one man show in paintball is meresuicide. It will not work. Even superstars like Ollie Lang and Thomas Taylor admits that without their team, they are nothing but amateurs. Other then teamwork, thor-o u g h l y p l a n n e d s t r a t e g i e s a n d i n d i v i d u a l s k i l l s a l s o p l a y m a j o r r o l e s i n w i n n i n g t h e g a m e .

    The other misconception about paintball is that people are saying that you don't need to be an athlete to be good in paintball. Understandingly, this misconceptioncomes from the old rule of engagement, "It takes knights and warriors to slay enemies with their sword, but any peasants can fire a rifle". What the public might notknow is paintballing has its own Pro and Amateurs leagues and tournaments worldwide. Hard to imagine? well imagine football. But instead of Arsenal, we have LAINFAMOUS, IRONMEN instead of MU. Dynasty instead of Liverpool. Thus teams with great and fit athletes, like football, usually rule the field. Not to mention a thickdictionary of individual skills that includes snap shooting, jousting, diving, running while shooting, break out, loading while shooting, sliding, sprinting across line of fire,heavy covering, filling in, communication relay, partner chemistry, hi and low, right and left switching, popping up, muscle memories and heaps of other individual skillst h a t I ' m s u r e I c a n f i l l t h i s w h o l e p a g e w i t h .

    Equipment wise, paintball offers a lot of exciting gadgets that caters for any types of players. Plus, new inventions never stop pouring in from the manufacturers. Youcan choose from open bolts to spool valve markers. Carbon or aluminium tanks. Gravity or motorised loader. White or black. And the list and choices goes on and on.Even going through a paintball catalogue is fun. Caused by arrays of design and functional features in the equipments. Basically saying, choosing equipments in paint-

    ball are always a subjective question. Not adding the tonnes of aftermarket parts and upgrades to further fine tune your equipments to your specific likes and needs.

    To cap it all off, through what I've indulged in my short experience of time playing paintball in tournament level, I can tell you that it has been one hell of a fun ride.Winning and losing always comes second when you're playing paintball. Because your real goal is to experience the sheer thrill of being in the field, putting your maskon, diving in the bunkers and playing with your team-mates.

    Khairil who goes by the handle Brofez or affectionatelyknown by Fez by those close to him is the new Presidentof the Sabah West Coast Paintball Association. Heshares his view and vision with BOLACHAT.

    As the newly appointed President of the Sabah WC PB Asso-ciation, my view on the sport of paintball is:

    Paintball is a positively growing sport especially in Sabah, most no-

    tably KK. Its a team sport that is very much different from otherteam sports because in paintball the overall application of the wordteam is put into us in every aspect of the sport. The team-buildingfactor, the brotherhood, & the camaraderie takes center stage as itis the most vital aspect of the team & the game in order to succeed.Individual skills alone do not play a major factor a teams success.

    Paintball also transcends boundaries compared to other sports in away that it is a great sport where everyone regardless of age, race,gender, & religion could enjoy. In the leagues itself, there is no

    male-female category & you find teams that are mixed. Boy or girl,young or old, everyone gives as good as they get!

    My future plans

    Mainly to get as many people in Sabah to play paintball as much aspossible. And, we would help them to understand & play this sportproperly & safely. The main thing is to get people to enjoy playingthe game whether recreationally or competitively. So through this,Im planning to do a membership drive to get members in so that

    we could poscould possibly have a good pool of paintballers. And also to

    probably have their teams ( i f they already have one ) registered

    under the association.

    From here we could help to en-courage & send them to futuretournaments, help them preparefor the tournaments in terms of set-ting up training & team manage-ment & logistics etc.

    Once this pool of players exist,then maybe we can look intoplayer/marshal development, hav-ing a permanent venue, etc. But,all this would come later on in duetime. The key here is to first doone thing, regardless whether it issmall, and to do it well, before we proceed to bigger & better things. Once youveproved what you can do, the bigger stuff would come.

    Tackling the problem of finance

    Obviously paintball is an expensive sport. What makes it expensive is that at themoment there is not enough of a following that could demand the price of paintballgoods & fields to give lower prices. Furthermore, paintball equipment & such at themoment are brought in from overseas, thus the conversion of prices including thecost of shipping makes it pricey.

    What we could do is probably work with field operators & pro-shops to have regis-tered members play or buy at discounted prices. Hopefully this incentive wouldmake paintball attractive enough for the public & to garner their interest to play. An-other way is that we could probably organize clinics or tournaments that are subsi-dized or backed by either government or private sector. Maybe once these thingshappen, it would showcase paintball as an affordable sport.

    To play paintball does not mean that you have to buy your own marker & gear.Unless youre serious & committed enough to the sport to compete at higher & big-ger stages, then having these equipment would be worthwhile. And if those who dowant to achieve that level but could not afford to do so, then maybe the associationor its members could assist in looking for potential sponsors with the range of net-work that it would eventually build to enable players or teams to play the sport.

    What the sport would be like in 5 yearsWhat the sport would be like in 5 years

    Hopefully in 5 years time, there would be a lot more awareness & participation byHopefully in 5 years time, there would be a lot more awareness & participation bythe public for this sport, & that it would be showcased as a significant sport worthythe public for this sport, & that it would be showcased as a significant sport worthyof a place in prime time news & media.

    acara atau kejohanan paintball (di mana saya ditugas-kan), di mana setiap kali ia akan menguji sejauh mana-kah kemampuan saya untuk menjalankan tugas sayaseperti mana seorang Marshal lelaki boleh lakukan.

    Berapa ramai Marshall di Sabah ?- Setakat ini terdapat lebih kurang 30 orang yang terlatih,cuma malangnya hanya segelintir sahaja yang masihaktif.

    Mengapa seseorang wanita seperti saudari memilih untuk menjadi Marshall ?

    - Kerana minat. Pada asalnya saya ingin menumpukan perhatian untuk menjadiseorang pemain paintball, sehinggalah apabila saya menyertai kursus sebagai Mar-shall, saya mendapati bahawa sukan paintball lebih daripada setakat 'hit & out'. Iamemerlukan disiplin, tugasnya lebih mencabar kerana akan berdepan dengan pel-bagai karenah pemain, memerlukan daya tumpuan yang tajam, stamina yang baik -dan saya akan menghadapinya di setiap

    Saudari seorang Marshall ?- Ya.

    Sudah berapa lama ?- Lebih kurang 3 tahun.

    Apakah position anda semasa bertugas ?Tak tentu...sekiranya terdapat kejohanan paintball di

    negeri sendiri, saya biasanya mengambil posisi'Ultimate'; di tempat lain biasanya sa dipilih sebagai'Ground Marshal'.

    Di Sabah, adakah organisasi khusus bagi marshall-marshall ?- Setakat ni cuma satu sahaja - Malaysian Marshal(Sabah Branch) yang bergiat aktif di negeri Sabah.

    Seronok jadi Marshall ?- Seronok! =)

    13/32

    Bagaimankah seseorang itu mendapakan akreditasi untuk menjadi marshall ?- Menjadi seorang Marshall bukan setakat menghafal buku undang-undang atau terletak pada sijil Marshal sahaja. Seorang itu perlumempunyai disiplin - tepati masa, menghormati pemain dan rakan marshal yang lain, beretika, tegas dan adil. Semua itu tidak adamakna sekiranya seorang Marshal tidak mempunyai ciri-ciri tersebut.

    Apakah tugas Marshall dan mengapa ianya penting bagi pembangunanan sukan paintball ini di Malaysia khususnya di Sabah ?

    - Pada asasnya, peranan Marshall adalah untuk memastikan semua pemain mengikuti semua prosedur keselamatan sewaktu bermainpaintball. Di peringkat pertandingan pula, Marshall adalah penting bagi memastikan pemain mematuhi undang-undang permainan.

    Sukan Paintball adalah sesuatu yang masih baru di Sabah. Terdapat ramai orang ingin mencuba sukan tersebut sebagai satu kegiatanhiburan tetapi tidak mempunyai pengetahuan tentang peraturan keselamatan yang harus diikuti sewaktu bermain paintball.

    Peranan Marshall adalah penting untuk 'mendidik' dan memberi kesedaran kepada mereka yang baru atau ingin menyertai sukan paint-ball ini demi keselamatan diri mereka sendiri dan orang lain sebelum mengenali sukan ini dengan lebih dalam lagi.

    Saya difahamkan terdapat dua organisasi Marshalling di Malaysia, Malaysian Marshall dan MPRO, saudari menganggotai ?- Malaysia Marshall.

    Mengapa ?- Kerana pada waktu saya menyertai kursus tersebut, hanya kursus yang dianjurkan oleh Malaysian Marshall sahaja yang terbuka untukpendaftaran. Secara peribadi, saya tidak kisah menyertai mana-mana organisasi pun kerana misi dan tugas dia sama sahaja.

    Soalan selanjutnya, mengapa terdapat dua badan ini sedangkan sukan ini adalah universal dan tentunya peraturan ataupun undang-undang adalah sama ?- Setiap badan ditubuhkan oleh operator/liga sukan paintball (cth: MPOC, MY-NPL) masing-masing supaya senang untuk mengatasimasalah kekurangan marshall di dalam padang pada masa-masa tertentu.

    Pada pandangan saudari, tidakah dua badan yang berbeza ini mencerminkan seolah-olah ada yang tidak kena dengan industri sukanpaintball ini ?- Tidak.

    Didalam pertandingan yang saudari pernah kendalikan apakah insiden atau peristiwa/pangalaman yang tidak dapat dilupakan.- Terlalu banyak untuk disebutkan secara satu persatu - Setiap pertandingan yang saya pernah kendalikan telah mengajar saya banyakperkara - bagaimana untuk menghadapi setiap masalah yang mungkin akan timbul, kebarangkalian sesuatu perkara yang akan berlakudan bagaimana mengatasi masalah tersebut sekiranya ia akan berulang kembali.

    Secara keseluruhan, kesemuanya memberi saya semangat untuk terus berkecimpung di dalam sukan paintball, dan membuatkan sayamasih mahu untuk meneruskan tugas saya sebagai seorang Marshall.

    Pada pandangan anda, sejauh manakah sukan ini akan berkembang didalam tempoh 5 tahun akan datang ?- Malaysia sudah pun mencapai hingga ke peringkat antarabangsa di dalam sukan paintball. Sukar untuk diramalkan sejauh mana su-kan ini akan berkembang di Sabah dalam tempoh tersebut...saya cuma harapkan yang terbaik dan cuba memberikan yang terbaik.Yang selebihnya, diharapkan semua pihak dapat memberikan yang terbaik di dalam mempromosikan sukan paintball bukan sahaja un-tuk kepentingan diri sendiri tapi untuk semua.

    MyMypaintball journey started somewhere in October 2007. Thatswhen I got hooked on this sport called paintball that I have

    now grown to love & enjoy.

    Paintball wasnt quite such a new sport for me. I was actu-

    ally first exposed to it between 2001-2002 while studying in

    Glasgow, Scotland in the United Kingdom. I was first intro-

    duced to woodsball or recball, whichever you would prefer to

    call it. Played in some desolate wooded area, in the cold au-

    tumn/winter weather, a few hours drive from Glasgow city

    with a few friends. That was my first & only time I played the

    game until I returned home.

    At the time, it did not really catch on to me. It didnt leave a

    lasting impression as I was about to find out a few years later.

    Maybe it was because I thought of it as just another shoot-em

    -up game, or maybe because playing it for the first time in

    cold weather, soaked in rain, & covered in mud for almost half

    a day, plus having to endure hours on the road to & fro, madeit kind of a turn-off for me. So, I never really pursued it.

    After returning home to KK, towards the end of 2007, together with some buddies

    from an online community, we were contemplating what our next activity as a group

    would be. One guy stumbled upon a local fields website & suggested that we try

    paintball. I was game for it as it had been a few years since I last played. However,

    we didnt get to play there, as my friend made a booking at another field. Two paint-

    ball fields in KKI never thought that it could happen.

    So, on that fateful October weekend, with my buddies, playing with Tippmann & V-

    Force rentals, spending somewhere around RM60.00 or so, & ended up counting the

    welts on our bodies, I was hooked! The adrenaline rush of ducking for cover, & the

    excitement of getting to shoot people at will was great. We had a blast & wasted no

    time in deciding the next paintball outing. It began by deciding to play once a

    month, to twice a month, & then ever y weekend.

    1.Unfortunately not yet :(2.Reuben Peter Rajah3.actually 16 years old in a 27 yearold body4.burn, burnie, papadam, reubs,rubina...5.Im a proud member of Team Hood-lums!6.I play mostly back charger.7. cannot explain it in words.8.We all started playing paintball to-

    gether, we are all family as well. Sowe all know each others attitude on and off the field, i dontsee myself playing on any other team.9. We have played in some tourneys, and we had some goodresults, like we got the Best perfornimg rookie award inMPOC Penang last year, We also came in 5th in the WorldCup Asia, and this year we got 3rd place in Labuan which isto date our highest achievement, Hopefully this year we willdo well in the WCA that is actually our main target to actu-ally win the WCA.10.Most of us in the team are shooting Planet Eclipse Ego's,Im using an Ego 8 Gold on black with a Dye Rotor and aStako.11.Fun,Dedicated, aggressive, uncontrollable and alwayslate12.Of course it is- it requires skill and tactics.If you think about it, anything which involves physical activityis a sport, especially if it requires team co-ordination. Iwould say Paintball is actually a very good sport- lots ofphysical exertion needed to do it well, lots of fun etc- thevery fact that you'd question whether or not it's a "legitimate"sport suggests that, despite the energy needed and so on, itseems enough like a game to be considered just "fun"- jump-ing rope may not be an olympic sport, but it's still physicalactivity, and hence still a sport.13.All the depends if the dude in stripes is looking14.When not playing paintball, I dream paintball!!15.Im a diving instructor16.Totally un-true, I feel that paintball is more tiring than alot of other "Sports".17.Win World Cup :P18. COMMANDOS!19.Planet Eclipse Ego Hoodlums edition20.In 5 years i see Sabah being a power house in Paintball.21.Same as above.
