PUSH 

I was raised on this movie...i will NEVER forget. Every friday night my buddies and i would watch it to set the tone for the weekend.

Patrick, cannot thank you enough for uploading this film and creating it in the first place. I played a lot of ball in the 90's and fell out around 2002. I can honestly say I wore out a couple VCR's watching your film over and over. Your attention to detail with sticking everything together is what makes this film so iconic in my opinion. A few examples would be the opening black and white scene with Cold's "Ugly". The line in the song says "why must I die for you, it's the ugly truth". So fitting. Then you have Staind's "Just go", Lasoya gets popped in the face as the track talks about "these tortured faces". Cagnoni's infamous snake jump as the song says "without a care, and full ahead". Danny Love sitting with his hands behind his head as the track says "I'm a captain of industry, spoken famously", guy was and still is a legend. You had Mikey Bruno looking over the top of the bunker as the song goes "still breaking old habits" then right into "remembering" as the guy is crawling on a pipe field. Those were old school moves that were slowly starting to fade with the new style of play. I could go on and on, but we'll end there and just say the whole film is perfect. Once again, I can't thank you enough for making it. Oh, and we can't forget about Danny Love telling it how it is, alllllllll the way at the very very end. Nobody I know ever even knew that was in there. Watch to the very very end everyone! Oh and yah, one more thing..... Doo Doo Brown!

This video changed my world. I was already playing paintball when this video was released, but it made me want to be a competitor and not just another player. Here I am at 34 years old, still playing tournaments and practices as often as possible, as well as supporting acts in the punk rock/hardcore scene through concerts and merchandise. There isnt anything about that era in my life I would change if I had the opportunity.

best paintball movie ever

Crazy seeing a young Matty Marshall & all those vintage cockers definitely the golden age if paintball! Remember when I started playing in 95 at SC village everything was pump 10 round tubes & 12 gram co2 much more fun & tactical then todays faster paced 10 BPS

Bout time this was uploaded by the real deal!

this movie literally changed my life. Ive seen it over 100 times. Thank you for uploading!

I got involved in paintball about a year ago and i was told this film is a must if you love and respect the sport. I got to say thank you for putting this film together it is still bringing new players deeper into the sport. You have created a timeless masterpiece that captures the mind of all players. This is a legacy film thank you again

I remember watching the trailer for Push in '99 with a group of friends. After 3 minutes and 12 seconds with AFI's "Fall Children" playing throughout, we all had goosebumps! We pitched in funds to buy the video when it came out, and watched it as a group of friends, players, and brothers! For the uninitiated, this is THE iconic Paintball documentary! This is the show that set the standard for every Paintball movie after it, and by which every Paintball movie afterwards is judged against. Thanks for sharing it for all to watch. It really is a piece pf Paintball history!

i really miss those days. paintball was just a better sport to play then.

Got into paintball as a teenager back in the early 2000s. Had a copy of Smoked and 300 FPS, but wow... PUSH is on a whole other level! Totally captures the spirit of paintball during that time. Thank you for making it, and thank you for putting it up on RU-vid, and at such fantastic quality!

14:23 best mix of the video. I always remember this sequence.

Originally played 1994-2000, came back to the sport in 2020. So great to see paintball as I remember it "back in the day" freely available on RU-vid.

Thank you for uploading this. It is so much more than a paintball video. The music, the players the atmosphere ; they define a generation of paintball players. Paintball got me through some really tough times in my mid teens. It gave me a singular focus that took me away from a lot of the trouble I was on the brink of getting into. This movie brings me back to those times and makes me remember those people. I miss it so much sometimes it physically aches, but I am beyond fortunate to have gotten to experience it first hand.

This is amazing. This VHS was the reason I stopped messing around with my buddies in the woods and at our local field and started taking paintball seriously as a sport. I lost my copy in hurricane Katrina and was actually pretty devastated. I definitely wouldn’t have gotten into tournament ball if not for PUSH. Thanks for making this available!

Thank you for a high quality upload of Push. I love this film.

Thank you so much for doing this Patrick. At 32, I had the pleasure of playing during the Golden age. It seemed like everyone was playing. We would watch Push before tourneys, before backyard games, before...well , everything. This movie means a lot to me and the people I grew up playing with.

thank you for uploading this. thank you for preserving paintball history

Man the nostalgic trip. Thank-you for making such an iconic video for the paintball community.

Hey Patrick, I have Push on VHS!!! This was such a game changer when it came out. Coming out of the forests and onto concept fields. Thanks Brother!

Thanks Patrick ! It's great to see you share these, as they are getting harder to find in DVD ! I think you tell amazing paintball stories ! Heroes for a Day will always be my favourite.

Probably watched my VHS copy of this 500 times when I got my hands on it 20 years ago.

Bought the VHS from a paintball store in AZ back in 2000. The new remaster looks great!

I remember watching this on VHS when I was in elementary/ middle school. My parents would get pissed because I would run around the living room with my bob long millenium hiding behind furniture trying to reenact everything in this movie.

Thanks for uploading. Seeing this really takes me back to my middle school days behind my blue Impulse. My older brother was rocking a red Texas Storm timmy. So many memories playing the sport back in the golden days.

Awesome, thank you! Best pb movie ever!

This is awesome Patrick, huge fan of your work, movies like this, CK/CK2/Heroes for a Day also made me go behind a camera, and that's why I'm always trying to do my best to capture and film Paintball with the same love and passion that I feel when I'm playing it. Subscribed, liked, shared on my Paintball news page (Portal Paintball Argentina). Greetings from Argentina!

Time capsule. Young icons. Angles autocockers and revys. No F words. Great piece of art. Should be required watching for all ballers to learn of their legacy.

Hey Patrick, Finding that you had posted up PUSH is amazing. I was 13 in 2000 towards the beginning of what would end up being a decade of eating, sleeping and dreaming about paintball. I remember watching the Ironmen at the beginning of the film. Learning about who Marty Bush, Bryan Benini, Shane Pestana are and so many others that shaped the sport. I also picked out kids, some not mentioned, like Oliver Lang, Todd, Matty, and Danny Williamson that all went on to have their own extremely impactful careers. My cousin and I would jokingly yell "its the doo doo brown!!!" every time we would chrono, hahah. I literally kinda got chills thinking about those good ol days from watching this film. I must have worn out my Dad's VCR with this movie pretty much on repeat. Not sure if you have any plans on releasing "Sunday Drivers"? I think at the time I was a still a little too young to fully appreciate PUSH but by the time Sunday Drivers was released I was a little older and had developed some emotions for the sport. I lost or damaged my Sunday Drivers VHS years ago... If you have a copy that you would sell or post up on your RU-vid I would be extremely Grateful. I haven't seen it in YEARS and I know it would be a special thing to be able to share with my kids one day. Showing them what Dad used to do when I was their age haha. Patrick thanks again for making films to define an age in Paintball that truly was a special time and telling a special story. Thanks, Mark

Subscribed and turned on notifications so I get updates to see your new uploads!

Had the original VHS that I got for a birthday present back in 2001 I think. I think I wore out the tape. This Doc not only shaped my taste in music but I think had a major role in becoming a filmmaker myself. Even though I have stopped playing paintball this film is one of my favorite docs of all time, thanks for making it available to watch again.

When are you going to put Sunday driver on your RU-vid channel

lol I just look in my office and found the VHS tape I bought at 16.

Subscribed. Thank you very much. You guys are rockstars.

Thank you so much for posting this! PUSH came out when I was in my rec-ball, Paintball prime in my younger days. OMG did this thing, even though it was speedball / tournyball, this thing influenced ALL of my friends and co-ballers. This brings back, so, so, SO MUCH emotional memories. The soundtrack was probably the greatest thing ever. I would like to rip it, just so I can watch it in case my internet is out sometime, lol.

Thank you Patrick, what you and Bryon did with PUSH was truly incredible. Canonized an era of paintball and our collective feelings about what the sport meant to us. Between the soundtrack perfection and the look into these players lives (whom most of us never got a chance to meet let alone play alongside) it's just something that won't come around again. I hope it does though.I no longer have my VHS copy so I thank you for the time and effort you put into upressing and officially uploading an original, all for free nonetheless. If you ever have the desire, the trailer for push can only be seen in 144p on the web. I would bet people would love to throw that some serious love for years to come if you gave it the same treatment and preserved that little moment of paintball history. Keep planting those seeds man, you made a difference in alot of players' lives.

23 years later after this masterpiece... I still play this film as I clean my 98 STO Autococker.

I cannot thank you enough for releasing this video my friend. The Push trailer spread across my highschool and got me into paintball big time. I even got an AFI tattoo because of the trailer's choice in music. I went on to win a few local trophies for 3 man events and I even had the chance to play with and against team Lockout players at our locally sponsored field. Your film helped me break out of my shell and meet many amazing people. Without your work my childhood would likely be a bore. Thank you so much man

Man, your DVD's (this one and especially Cereal Killerz) are what really got me into paintball back in the day!! Had them shipped to Okinawa Japan when I was stationed there while in the Marines lol. We played every weekend and during chow when we could lol. Thanks for posting, brings back some good memories!! I can't play these days because of my lung disease, but great seeing these vids again!!!

Many thanks Patrick for uploading this, I have the DVD in a box somewhere but I use to watch this before going to play events with my friends in the early to mid 2000s as well as your other movies like Sunday Drivers!

thank you for all you have done this movie changed the face of paintball and my life from then until now and beyond it will be history

Historic film !!! Thx a lot for the amazing job !!! Xalo Almeida - Brasil

Love seeing the old style paintball.

Thanks Patrick for uploading! I just recently found bonnies MWAG vcard i got in 2005 at HB.

This video bring back so much memories for me. I use to play way back in the day. I remember coming home from school and literally watching this movie everyday. Thanks for uploading this.

Awesome video, thank you for posting. Shared to 'Murica Paintball Players League in Georgia.

Love you Pat! Thanks so much for doing this. :)

i love this video, i grew up playing with most of these dudes, awesome movie

Thanks for uploading this Pat. My neighbor owned this movie when I was around 10 years old and we probably watched it at least once a week for a whole summer! This movie made me want to be a high level paintball player and I eventually got to play on the Colorado Sharp Shooters in the NPPL if you remember them! Thanks for making this! I can't wait to see more of the other ones you made up!

Thank you so much for sharing this! Any place to purchase this on DVD?

great film thank you so much for sharing this with everyone I can show my daughter the golden age of paintball and hopefully spark some interest in the sport thanks again for the hard work you put into this film

Just found this. I've been considering getting back into paintball. Watching this brings back so many memories of playing back in the late 90's and early 2000's.

patrick, i worked the field for peter boffil in 97 and wow this brings back so many good memories in those days i was 13 i dont know if your familiar with miami rage boffils field was in miami im still playing now write back if you can i loved the video theres not many that bring this stuff back

Thank you so much, Patrick!

Too funny. I was just going through my stuff and found my Push DVD... Watched it then figured I'd see if there were any highlights of it on youtube. And here we are...lol. I was 18 when this came out and now at 40 I still remember it very vividlly. Haven't played in years but still own my Cobra Angle LCD. To this day I still say "doo doo brown" at random times and people look at me like wtf are you talking about but if you KNOW you know!...ahahahah

Young Richardson! Young LaSoya! Knopp and Pooman! Ten man forever!

Sir, thank you so much for uploading the video on here. My father had a copy on VHS and we have no idea where it is and i missed watching this as a kid. I finally got a taste of the action and i love it and wanna go back for more. Thank you again for creating and uploading it for the next generation of paintball players to view.

Super awesome of you to post this. I had it on VHS. You have no how many thousands of times I watched this growing up. My favorite part is the soundtrack, meshes so well with the video editing. Thanks again for putting this out there. Would love to reminisce some more!

One of the first dvds I purchased so epic!!!

Thank you for this Patrick! I still have my push dvd and watch it at least 1 time before cup every year. Can't wait for sunday drivers I just found my vhs of it but no VCR anymore. I would love to see this style of a video again or an annual video of a few teams through the month leading into and through cup. Your films are a piece of history that need to be shared with the new generation.

Best paintball video ever. Changed my life and will forever have a place in my heart.

respect

Oo ooh man, rockin' the old WGP Auto cockers!!! That was my first marker back in the day. Only part that was stock on my I think was the frame lol. Oooh man the good old days!!

This film.... my god. It was what made me fall in love with paintball. The personalities, the music, the atmosphere you created... totally amazing. I am so thrilled to find this on you tube after I lost my copy on VCR a decade ago. Have already watched it 3 times this week since I found it. And it makes me wanna play just the same as it did 17 years ago. Absolutely crazy and amazing.

you made the best paintball videos ever made ..... you sooo fucking genius ....pls dont stop making pb videos ! respect to you grrets jurydatraina

Thanks for uploading this to make it free to view! Love the paintball history and nostalgia!

your the best film maker by far the sport has ever had thank you for your contributions sir all your film have not inly showed the sport in all its beauty but chanhed how paintball was played for generations just watching your films and dreaming. #MWAG headbands?

Would love to see Sunday Drivers posted officially in such lovely quality.

Awesome Patrick! I was going to offer to do it eventually, if you weren't going to ;) I had Push and Sunday Drivers on VHS originally, not DVD! Thought the original film was 4:3 though. Or were the original releases cropped, and the footage was 16:9?

I was only in the 7ish when I first found paintball I remember watching this when I was a little older , then I got into paintball in the 6th grade, watching this is so cool it reminds me of when I first started playing way back. Paintball is a lifelong passion for me its helped me get past my social anxiety and I started to interact with people more and more. This documentary is pure amazing and so well done

The sound of those old shockers...i miss these days of paintball best memories I've made....fuck I miss these days of paintball

To all the editors and video creators out there, please respect his requests. Lets keep the legend of the golden age alive and demonstrate the respect we paintballers have for each other.

Awesome. So many memories from back in the day.

Nice! The golden years. Real talk!!!!

This is so awesome! Thank you Patrick!

Patrick i am so glad you release the videos. It brings up memories of good times. Just recently i stumpled upon the vcards from mwag from you and bonney from ~2005. You are an orignial an a great creative mind and did alot for paintball. thank you.

I played from 99-10, had this on vhs and lost it. I have been trying so hard to find it online. Thank you for uploading it!!

I’ve only been playing 2 years, this is my first season actually playing in the Xball pits, and I’m still hyped as fuck watching this.

Thanks Patrick, very good memories of being in High School, watching this every Friday with my friends before playing the weekend. Iconic

This is when I started playing, this film made me want to play competitively and fell in love with the game. Big up to all the players and people involved in this project. It really was awesome and the 1st of its kind for the paintball fans.

I'm honored to have played during the golden age. Thank you for making lasting, impactful memoriam for our kind. This age will live on in our heart of hearts. There were no better, nor more pure days. "We're still here. Scarred but here....We were invincible then."

Thank you so much! My old DVD disappeared a while back.

Thank you Patrick both for sharing and for making THE paintball movie I got started with paintball back in 2002 and I have seen your movie about a 1000 times. From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU!

Any chance of Sunday Drivers being released on RU-vid?

This is Great!!!!! My first national tournament was world cup 2000, which was also the event this was released. I had to be the youngest kid there as I had just turned 16. This video helped me mold my view on what paintball really was/is. The tape even started wearing out from playing it so much. This film even inspired 2 of my buddy's and i to start Deadbox Media. Hell, I even still have the laminated pass to get into the premier party. Just wanted to reach out and say thank you for uploading this as it changed my direction in life but also changed many others. Thank you for everything you have done for this beautiful sport!!!

Patrick I found out about this film in a game I'm playing right now Greg Hastings paintball 2 it mentions ur film so I decided to take a look and I'm glad I looked it up and thx for uploading the film because I'm getting into paintball now 👍

Thank you for uploading

when the NCPA was being developed, and those of us at Iowa State Paintball team were diligently working to build a paintball practice field on campus... we watched this DAILY, every night, religiously. Thank you sir for this, which is still to this day the pinnacle of paintball documentaries.

so awesome!

Thank you for your art and when you published it. Knowing all your films will be properly published here on RU-vid is fantastic. My only suggestion/hope is that the version of H4aD with commentary is uploaded as well. Listening to you explain your choices in direction and producing and the dynamics between rich-matty-and Alex was great. I'm still secretly holding out for another mwag film.....anything is possible!

Can't thank you enough for making this. I've still got the VHS, and I watched it probably close to a hundred times way back when. For some reason it popped back into my mind today. I crossed my fingers and searched for in on RU-vid. Thanks a ton for your work on getting it polished up and put online.

What a welcoming piece of paintball history . And I must say to watch this over again , start to finish , front to back is breathe of fresh air all over again. As with the rest of the fans and "old School" paintballers like myself , i say thank you .

32:23 "Image" "Image" "Image" "Image" "Image" "...Image..."

Oh man. I can't thank know you enough for this. this film was released when I first started playing, and has since been part of my pregame ritual, either watching the movie or listening to the soundtrack. this has always been part of my long paintball career.thanks a million man!
