Why do you play Paintball?
This is the only sport that satisfying me.
Who supports you?
My Father and Reza Adjami (Owner of team Persian Legend)
Who helped you become the player you are?
Due to lack of proper support and coaching, I mostly learn paintball through watching paintball videos taken from professional teams. Above that, Mr.Reza Badrian (Datis) and my colleagues in Persian Legend Team were a great help to me.
Why did you leave Datis for Persian Legend?
I had feeling that there was not much to learn in Datis team any more. Beside that, the atmosphere inside the team was in such a condition that the team members were hardly communicating. Above all, decisions were taken during the games by team leader was improper decisions.
Persian Legend team is a talented, motivated and energetic team and in compare to Datis, they are physically more fitted. The team members have excellent communication and they have very much respect to each other and acting like a family.
How many days do you practice in a week?
At the moment I practice 3 days a week because I’m student and I have to study too, but my insistence is to practicing every day since it is very enjoyable to me.
Advice to any new players?
My advice always is to practice more and more.
Mentors?
Not in a proper way, but on a best effort, I try to teach my colleagues whatever I know.
How is the level of Paintball in Iran comparing to Europe?
To my knowledge the Iranian teams are in a very good level of playing compare to European teams and if to be supported, for sure they will be a big competitor to the European and American Paintball Teams.
Further I have to mention that due to limitations and lack of supports and sponsors, paintball became a very expensive sport in Iran and most of the expenses are provided by the players themselves. Only a few clubs are available that their players could afford the expenses for normal practicing and participating in some of the tournaments.
Do you have any plan to play for any European team in future?
Not for the moment, but I think Persian Legend team has a big potential and capacity to be a good and hard competitor to European teams.
Goal for this season?
My goal is to practicing as much as possible in this season and looking towards finding sponsors for participating in European tournaments.
This interview was made possible by ProPaintball.com’s very own Nima Razavi out of Mashhad, Iran.
Also, check out this Paintball Blog out of Singapore which has also done a story on Parham Nazari.
This article was authored by Brandon Mason – who has written 35 paintball news and gear articles.
In 2002, Brandon Mason and Matt Wojdynski began tracking the internet activities of Kyle Johnson, aka V. Gnome, an 18-year old computer gamer. They monitored and recorded Kyle’s AOL instant messages and gathered information about his friends and family from other sources on the net. Blending this data with scenarios from videogames and sci-fi films, they developed a mythology in which Kyle is “singled out as the savior of the human race.” The story is told in Gem Missile: A Tribute to V. Gnome, a 40-page book that incorporates photographs of Kyle and excerpts from his personal correspondence. In August 2003, Mason and Wojdynski showed up on Kyle’s parent’s doorstep in Thousand Oaks. Mason introduced himself as “Z. Figiam,” Kyle’s “mentor from the future,” presented him with the book, and left without further explanation. The plot thickened several days later with Kyle posted a detailed description of the encounter to an on-line gaming forum, along with digital photos of every page in the book. Members of the forum quickly added their own theories and responses, which ranged from close readings of the text and speculations about the gender of its authors, to admissions of jealousy and accusations that Kyle had invented the story in order to get a high rating for his thread (which in a few weeks had received over 40,000 hits). A year passed after this initial contact. In August 2004, Mason and Wojdynski mailed Kyle a package containing a photograph of their meeting a year earlier, along with a note, a certificate, and a plane ticket to Minneapolis. Kyle was met at the airport by a man in a beat up Lincoln Town Car who identified himself as “The Gatekeeper.” For two days, Kyle was led around the city in search of robots, buried treasure and information needed to save the future. Mason and Wojdynski involved numerous actors and another on-line gamer who, equally baffled, was driven with Kyle to a forest and abandoned there. At some point, Kyle noticed that his new friend had mysteriously disappeared. “I stood there alone in the woods, in Minnesota, with a shovel and a large black locked box, more confused then I have ever been in my life.” Kyle survived the trip and posted a detailed account of his adventure, concluding, “it was a great experience, and I would not hesitate to save the future again, if the chance ever arose”. Today, V. Gnome believes he is the savior of Paintball. SIDE NOTE—– WANTED: Somebody to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. P.O. Box 1122, Newport Beach, CA 92659. You’ll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.

Nice interview Nima! The only thing I missed was a question and an answer to how to make paintball a mainstream, aknowledged public sport?? Maybe you Iranian teams have some thoughts about this?
Hi Mona,
To be honest,it is indeed hard.because paintball is still expensive and there are no many sponsors to support either the sport or teams .The only way,in my opinion,would be a change in our sport foundation in general…and this will take ages…The Laws are too constrained that dissuade companies sponsoring the sport and Laws goes where dollar please!..and yet there has been no benefit in paintball to seduce legislators!!So,The best,has been done.The rest,is out of our control!
parham JOOOOn khoooob shoood in paintball to zendegiiiit omad vagarna to hiiiich chiiiziii , hichiii nemishooodiii!!!!!!!!!!! bahse IQ nakoooon ,
