Tom Plays Paintball - who else does?

[Webmaster]

So talking with some online associates, I had someone tell me they liked my writing and that they respected me more than alot of writers out there due to the fact I actually get off my duff and play every once in awhile still.

I thought that was interesting, and to be honest I wondered - who all in the industry still PLAYS??

I know Tom is out there getting his bum handed to him - but who else? Richard Italia runs Diablo and plays pro. In fact there are a handful of pro players who run businesses (aftershock, bob long, youngblood) - but what about the rest of them? When, for example, was the last time Bud Orr shot anyone?

So - if anyone has a industry giant sighting - post it here.

I've seen guys from WDP play. I see John Rice very occasionaly and Owen does also.

John Sosta from AGDE plays very regularly with his own team Storm

Ledz from PlanetEclipse.com runs a UK pro team called Banzai Bandits. Julian from Planet plays for Bouja (great bunch) and Jacko from Planet plays in the states for Eastside Eclipse (I think that's their name).

Tex from Halo fame plays regularly.

I think Dave still plays.

Bob Long obviously does.

Todd Adamson from Extreme Rage plays Pro.

That's all I can think of for now.

Budd played way more than I did at the big game in Ocalla.
Dave Youngblood doesn't play any more and neither does Renick Miller.

Whoever runs Cobra Paintball...I know they play on cobra factory.

There are LOTS of pros/Ams that run thier own fields and play.....Too many to name right now.

J/W, but when did Dave quit playing?

Dan Bonebrake supposedly retired I think but I hear that he may not stay so...

On the Subject of Fabien we can't exclude Laurent Hamet who pretty much is responsible for the Fantastic Millenium series events and also is now helping with the NPPL. He also does 'Facefull mag'.

It's spelt Chuck Hendsch. :)

Rodney Squires who used to be JT (I heard he 'left'?)
plays for Dynasty also.

Aaron Stephens plays for the Freak Factory and is responsible for all the custom series SP products.

Who else...
