[Cha0tic]

i used to have a kid in a wheelchair on my 3man team. the ref posted him at the back corner bunker before the game started and he stayed there the whole game. he strapped his pack the the back of the chair and layed down paint as our cover man. man that kid could shoot fast.

thats what i like to see
kids not being outlawed, and refs not letting them play cause tehy are disabled

what happened to him?

[Lorquas]

I know a guy named Dale Price who plays with a prostetic leg, he also owns like 3 fields in Utah. go to www.peglegpaintball.com

Along time ago at the field I play at there was a kid in a electric wheel chair. He had camo painted cardboard all around his chair and a metal brace runing infront of him to this was attached a swivel like thing screwed into the shrowed of an autococker. He drove his cart with one hand and pulled the trigger with the other. I was fun to watch him play he was pretty good. He could really lay down some paint.

cool stuff guys
keep em comin

[RoadDawg]

Dale Price is the man. He alone is responsible for Paintball being in Utah. He is the only owner to keep a field there longer then 2 years or so it seems. I watched him play at the LA Open this year. He is a very friendly guy too. I know because I used to live in Utah and play at his fields at least once a week and met him several times.

in jt's old catolauge there was a pic of a guy shooting a cocker. the guy had 1 leg. so the way i see it his only handy cap was the cocker.

[Mossman]

other than the utah guy you guys are all kidding right?

[Webmaster]

Grrrr - with my gimp leg *I* nearly qualify as handicap...

One of the first guys I played against is a guy named Ralph who plays on crutches due to being stricken with Polio when he was a kid. Very leathal - used to run a Mag for forever!

outside of paintball, a kid on my lax team has a prostetic leg from the knee down on one of his legs and he plays lax with it....

[MikeCouves]

Guys that's great to hear. They are the kind of people that have alot of courage and heart to do what they dream of without letting their disabilities affect them.

[thecavemankevin]

I have a friend with no arms or legs that plays. His legs are cut off above the knee, and arms below the elbows. He litterally can out shoot his angel on semi.

"the power of the nub!!"

I am not sure if the team is around anymore but there use to be a tournament team called the Parpaleegic (spelling bad) Turtles. They were featured in an article probably three or four years ago in AGP (wretch).

If anyone didn't grasp the intent of my above post it means that there was once a tournament team that had all "disabled" people on it.

If I was in a wheelchair it would run off nitrogen and be a paintball tank like in scenarios.loved your article Webby!:D

[OldSchoolMag]

I remember the parapalegic turtles... they were based out of Oklahoma, right? Or at least that's where I hear the most about 'em... wonder what happened to them.

[CockersRule]

yes Dale Price is a real cool guy and he plays on the Parapalegic Turtles and they werent all disabled I was fortunate enough to meet Dale, at Velocity Paintball in San Diego, he was playing with a couple of members from team Ironmen, and he told me the team just kinda came up with the name, Dale still even had his leg when they came up with that name.

[Kajo]

Wow, that is really ironic that he had his leg and they still came up with that name.
