I feel like such a trend setter : (lotsa linkover pics inside!)

One of the "latest trends" in paintball...

( With appologies to Warpig : )





The bandana / towel, hung from the back of your beltline and allowed to hang.

Hey, wait a minute, haven't I seen this before?







I thought so... Once again, I'm ahead of the curve by 5-7 years. Hmm... Now when will the "pros" start doing pointed ears, I wonder?

LOL dude.... Nice hat.

[graysonp]

Not to burst your bubble, but it's outlawed now...

But hey, maybe the ear thing will catch on...

[ghed]

Yea, I know what you mean. Ive been a few yrs a head of some local trends. For example when I was in 9th grade I was one of the first kids to grow out my hair....flash forward to 12th grade and now all the "cool" guys have long hair and I just look like another guy riding the trend.
Same thing happened w/ paintball, about 5 years ago friend and I were the only 2 guys at our school who played, and since all we did was paintball we sorta became outcasts. Now in 12th grade theres a grp of about 10 "popular" guys who play all the time.

[P8ntBallBoom]

Lemme guess, they don't ever include you in their activities and they claim to have brought the sport to your school.

*grumble* popular kids....

You don't happen to have a link to that, do you?

I ask because I found the PSP rules :

"Any head judge or the Ultimate judge may prohibit a particular item of clothing. Such action by a head judge may be appealed to the Ultimate Judge." But nowhre dos it say that a player may not wear a bandana or cloth material from their belt line.

The Super 7 rules also don't cover this exclusively. I learned one rule outright, if it's not in black and white, it doesn't exist. I'm just curious to see how they worded it.

I too have been looking through every rule book i can gett my eyes on and can't seem to find anything about it.

I saw those pics with you in them Tyger and I was like hey, that's a tail not a badana you fool, that's Tyger. Then I scrolled back up and realized it was you who was posting so yeah I guess you're a trendsetter. I guess it also says something that I was able to recognize you just from pics that have been posted here even though I've never played against/with you in person.

[DementedChild]

just as long it doesnt go against rule 4

[FreakBaller12]

uh-oh is this...agg???

[Bolter]

in a 12yr old pbnation sense then yes, Tyger is AGG.

But we knew that already eh?

[teufelhunden]

Tyger is almost agg! :)

Mismatched gear, camo, bandana... :)

[Cryer]

Tyger is almost agg! :)

Mismatched gear, camo, bandana... :)

Thats ok... When the market makes its full circle (like everything in the world ends up doing...) Everyone will be back in the woods with camo, ears, tail, and 10-rnd clips...

So he is AGG... In a preemptive sense...



(OMG... I just used the term "AGG" )

Hey now! TK once told me I was the best dressed paintball player he'd ever met. I go out of my way to make sure I didn't look like I lost a bet. It's the ears and tail, isn't it?

And Cryer, I feel your pain. Here, read a bunch of these strips until the feeling of being "Dirty" goes away. Just don't go through that whole "crying Game" shower.

I'm still trying to figure out why "agg" was even picked up? Is it supposed to be sarcastic or what? Looking like a big bad tourney baller but looking like a goob (Which a lot of these tournamnt guys end up looking like anyway... You spent +$150 to look like that intentionally?) We used to call these guys "Twibs", ya know....

If so many people are doing this there must be an advantage in it somewhere so tell me what is the purpose of the bandana/tail.
