Paintball evolved over the
years from its sole purpose in the 1950s to mark trees for the
forestry service to today, the third most popular extreme sport
behind inline skating and snowboarding. In 1981, 12 friends played
the first game of paintball. They created their own rules as they
went along. They played capture the flag, a game where two teams
attempt to capture a single flag and hang it in the apposing team's
base.
