HK are reaching out into very similar industries with this sponsorship, people who BMX (and other extreme sports) are the perfect target audience to promote paintball to and get new players. And HK's videos are the perfect way to do so.

HK is taking over. Big congrats to you Karl and the guys at HK.

Thanks! I know both HK and I are all about doing what we can do progress the sport. That's just one of the reasons of why I'm really excited to now be teamed up HK ARMY.

If you ever want to play some woodsball at my private field, let me know.

Here is a picture I took (7 second timer) while I was doing some flatland a few years back on my custom bike.

Good to see other BMX'ers balling, and getting picked up by HK! Very cool!

Thanks, Glenn. Yeah, lots of changes happening at Eastern and it's unfortunate. I had some good times riding for EB over the years, but the road with them had to end. I'm looking forward to what's ahead! Thanks for the sharing the photo. Good stuff.

Congrats even more to HK for signing the right guy. He's got a passion and a drive for both paintball and BMX. He's deadly on the field and an great guy off it. You picked up a great ambassador.

I really appreciate the kind words. That means a lot.

haha Thanks, Timmy! Are you saying you're wanting a 1 on 1 rematch? Hope we can getting some playing in together soon.

[Karl Poynter]

I just want to say a big thank you to all of you guys here on PB Nation. It's awesome to see so much support coming from the pball community about HK and I teaming up. Paintball has been a passion of mine for many, many years and this is going to allow me to help promote the sport in even more ways now. Let's do this!

John is right. I guested for D1 Outlaws at the Chicago PSP. UWL has been taking up a lot of my time. Actually heading to the UWL 10 man PA event right now.

[redhand68]

Could not have happened to a better guy! See you in PA!

Awesome news for paintball.

Funny story. You were Karl's replacement at the UWL at Word Cup when he couldn't make it.

[nosurrendernoretreat]

That's awesome, its great to see these companies broaden their horizons. Granted he is also a paintball player, but hopefully the cross-promotion will see HK end up with a bigger following. Definitely a step in the right direction, and good luck to the man himself Karl Poynter. Two sports athletes have always had a tough road, but this is good news for him and for paintball.

[zombieninja9999]

congrats!
