So pbnation has a whole section dedicated to fitness, why not make a thread in the sports section? So if you play paintball competitive or not, post it up in here!

**magicmatt** · 08-09-2011, 08:16 PM

**AgRyan** · 08-09-2011, 08:20 PM

Viva la nation?

Small talk sucks, I get banned for posting funny videos, because they want me to post it in the video section that 2 people visit a day, fuark that. Misc ftw.

**SteveJorgensen** · 08-09-2011, 08:21 PM

I always miss it and then I go to play and remember putting on stinky old gear, waking up hungover at 6am for practice, running around all day with no food, fixing something that broke after EVERY. SINGLE. GAME. and then having a headache from the mask/headbands afterwards.

Still miss it tho

**iliketosquat** · 08-09-2011, 09:24 PM

im 12 and what is paint ball

**Nikilwig** · 08-09-2011, 10:55 PM

Still playing and loving it. Lots of New England is a rough area, bull**** politics hard to get all the good players on one team. Hopefully I'll be jumping on the boys in St. Louis in the future...

**SteveJorgensen** · 08-10-2011, 07:39 AM

New England and St. Louis are pretty far away from each other

**Clives_Bicep** · 08-10-2011, 07:44 AM

used to play in tourney's 11 years ago, with my 98 custom autococker, now I dont know what the hell everything is.
I played for the first time last week, was completely lost on all the guns now, everyone of them is electronic, used to only the Angel and Shocker were electronic. Had alot of fun though, might get back in to it on a regular basis.

**Mac_xX** · 08-10-2011, 08:41 AM

I'd totally play paintball more if it weren't so overpriced.

**SteveJorgensen** · 08-10-2011, 10:24 AM

I hope I get a job soon so I can play on a team again

**SteveJorgensen** · 08-10-2011, 03:30 PM

went last 2 weekends with friends, thinking about getting a set up soon, to play once or twice a month with some friends. hit me up if you got any old **** your willing to sell.

**SteveJorgensen** · 08-12-2011, 08:45 AM

Damn nice man, yea still looking for a good budget gun, looking for older markers as opposed to a newer mini or something. Rather go with older ego, bob long etc.

**BongoBanger** · 08-12-2011, 09:32 AM

i went paintballing for the first time in 6 years last weekend at skirmish, i got recked by 13-15 year olds with nice guns. I had fun though

**TheBigEasy007** · 08-12-2011, 09:33 AM

Use to play CFOA and some PSP. But since getting in the military and not having any free time I haven't played in forever. Plus I cant justify the cost.
I do miss it though. Maybe once I get into college I can start playing tourney ball. Either get my Borg and Marq fixed or get an 08+ Ego

**BenadrylBandit** · 08-12-2011, 11:47 AM

Just getting back into it, used to play competitively for years, but sold all my gear at the beginning of college. Gonna be playing for my school so looking forward to get back into it. Expensive as hell to come back though.

**SteveJorgensen** · 08-12-2011, 02:50 PM

I'm supposed to play a scenario game tomorrow. should be fun.

**lovebbing** · 08-12-2011, 02:53 PM

ive always been mildly interested in paintballing, does anyone mind explaining some misconceptions or doing a FAQ? or even just a basic introduction to the competitive aspect

I've been playing for 8 years, and used to work at a pb store for 4 years. so shoot.

**ChaseMans** · 08-13-2011, 12:40 AM

bump for all the paintballers out there

**LiftDeezWeights** · 08-13-2011, 01:58 AM

Such an expensive hobby. Some of the best times i've had although i haven't played in a few years. Hoping to restart again once i get a real job...

I did the same thing because it became the time to either be amazing at paintball and make 0 money more than I was getting, or finish my degree in 4 years and get a "real" job.

Talked to a few guys from my school too and when I talked with them 1on1 they were all dicks. After playing competitively (on a national level) I think it's hard to play on a college level. You will be better/more experienced, but the way the teams are run and stuff is just so different. And people who are college champs think they are as good as pros. Annoys the fuark out of me.

**ChaseMans** · 08-13-2011, 05:19 AM

I here you guys on the expenses of it, it definitely is not cheap. But honestly what is?? Besides going to the beach, hiking or just hanging at someones house theirs not all that many fun full day activities out there that's complete free of cost. Whether it be going to the movies, theme park, dirt biking, snowboarding etc. none of that stuff is cheap. I mean even going to the gym cost most people about $40 a month. So if your just doing it recreationaly one or twice a month,I dont think it is "TOO" horrendous but definitely still not cheap. Cheapest place by me is $25 admission and full day of air. Then a case is about $40 so $65 for a full day of paintball (cheapest place). But went to SC village 2 weeks ago and that place charges $37 admission and air so that day ended costing about $100 with paint, admission then lunch after which is no fun. But fuuu it definitely is fun as hell not all that much that can compare to it.
