Live from my Sacramento spare room, I preview the ICPL Windy City Classic at Badlands, break down the new Lux Air, talk paintball gimmicks, and try (and fail) to emulated Greg Hastings on my Mac.
Welcome back to another episode of Paintball Ruins My Life with Brad Johnson, live from my spare room in Sacramento! After surviving a last-minute power strip disaster, I’m jumping straight into the action. First up, I’m breaking down the upcoming ICPL Windy City Classic at the legendary Badlands Paintball Field. I dig into the team counts and share some cool nostalgic deep-dives from 90s paintball magazines. I also give you a quick update on my highly anticipated Lux Air review—including a painful lesson on how I accidentally broke mine. Then, the chat helps me compile a list of the absolute biggest gimmicks in paintball history, from JT slam pods and rocking triggers to the infamous Tipman C3 propane gun. To top it all off, I attempt a trip down memory lane by emulating Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball on my M1 MacBook Air. It gets a little wonky, but we push through.
