Any paintball players in the house?

Just holla

Been balling for 15 years myself and played up to semi pro for 5 years. Went on a hiatus because I was busy making kids, but i'm back at it since last year and the passion never left me.

So; who's balling in here? Are you playing this weekend?

I was really big into it during middle school and high school. Started with a Spyder, then moved to an Orracle Autococker, and finished with an Angel Speed. Haven't played in probably 10 years, but I still have the Angel and all my gear.

The game indeed changed a lot. I played rental once and that was it; the weekend after I was geared. I remember grabbing my first spyder on an ads site like kijiji at the time for a hundred and some dollars. And now, 20 years later, I spent over 2k on my last marker ahah.

Didnt play a lot in the woods, that was my first year and then I got into speedball; and eventually xball with its insane 15.4bps ramping mode where the team can shoot anywhere from 20 to 30 cases in a 40 minutes game. But that format didnt last for obvious reasons, but I do miss it a lot. It was nice to play it when the ownership was covering most of the bill, but a couple years down the line, their pockets were dead empty.

Been playing at 12.5bps now and I find it slow. I am also getting old at 40 trying to outsmart the other players which are, for the most, under 20. Its getting tough on the knees, but the fire is still there 100%. Cant stop playing, but I hope they will offer some kind of cybernetic knees in the near future
