AGD Lions....feedback wanted

[CoFFeY[NiTrO]]

Age : 14 years old
I TRY to play every other weekend but I have no way of making money so...

I can't wait to grow up and run my own local pro shop and sponsor my own team...(unless AGD will sponsor me :)) My family is trying to open up a Quizno's and my dad will be opening up 2 more when we get up to making a profit. I was talking to him about this and he said he would be glad to help me get my own proshop up and running. I will have tons of AGD products in the store and everybody will be "hypnotized" and the awsomepower of AGD products!

Speedball, Sup' Air, Hyperball, ect. - Scenario
I expect them to show up at D-Day. At the last D-Day (June 3,4,5?) the pro team Bad Karma showed up. They played the scenario game with everybody, as if they were average scenario/rec ball players. On the field when they saw some younger kids by themselves with a good amount of equipment they gave them a card that said Bad Karma. Only 6 cards were given out. My friend's little cousin (he is about 10) got one of these cards. At the award ceremony DeWayne asked Bad Karma to come up. They asked all the kid who got the cards to come up to the stage. All the little kids got 32* jerseys and on the back it said Bad Karma. And then the team said stuff about why they gave them out and that these kids are the future of paintball. I just thought that was really cool cause all 6 of the guys in Bad Karma payed for these jerseys out of their own pockets....I know they were sponsored by 32* and they got a discount but still, they interacted with normal everyday players and I thought that was awsome.

Ron from Slowhio, as the kids like to call it. I am 21. I began playing in 93 or 92 as a wee lad (mostly with Mags). Back then, it was woods games, as there was only 1 speedball field I knew of. Played a couple of 5-man tourneys way in the past.

I play any type of game I can, although mostly woods, as I can't get anyone into the faster games. I do find the faster stle of playing enjoyable, though. Actually, I sometimes prefer speedball, etc. to woods game as being 6'3" makes finding cover amongst trees difficult at times.

I used to play every other week, but college put a damper on things. Having graduated, I plan on trying to reinstate a 2 game per month minumum.

I can't say that I expect anything from anyone. But, from an AGD team I would like to see a professional attitude such as that Tom seems to carry. Promoting a good name for the sport (which isn't too popular in my region), and AGD products would be something to strive for. It would certainly help vitalize things. Actually, I think that I would expect those playing on the team to have fun, and enjoy using AGD gear.

Buenas dias, chingones!

Yo, my name is Ben, I am 19, and I will be playing every weekend I'm not snowboarding! I played alot four years ago, tourneys and what not, and now I'm back. I'll play anything, I like 3 on 3 speedball best, though! I expect you guys to kick :):):), but to be good sports, most of all. AGD had always been a classy company, and I think that their team should reflect that. Oh, one more thing, don't just shoot your extremes, rock 'em!

[slushee]

Gooday!

Jason Fieldwick, one of the few AO'ers from Canada. I'm 24, play with a ReTro Mag mostly rec. speedball.

I guess I would luv to see you guy's play in the few Canadian tournament such as SkyBall in toronto's Skydome.

Just cuz we're Canadian, doesn't mean we don't shoot AGD! eheh

[Havoc_online]

what's your set-up?
how many rounds you usually go threw in a game?
how long have you used mags? what did you use before?

[paintslinger]

howdy my name is frank im 15. i try to play twice a month...once i get a job i'll be playing everyweekend. i just play rec ball but after the 30th i'll be an official tourney player i guess. id expect the agd lions to be good win tourneys give emag xtremes hopefully a good name and great sportsman like conduct. and never ever throw ur emag in anger. u guys also gotta win some tournys...u guys are a tounry team right?

[CleenSweep]

What's up, I'm 26 and I try to play every weekend; but it's usually more like 3 times a month. I like to play anything, rec, air, we even built a new speedball field on the land we get together and play on. We might open it up as a public field and start charging admission, HeHe. I shoot the sweet mini in my sig and love it.

I gues the only thing I expect from the AGD team is that you guys show good sportsmanship. That is probably my biggest pet peeve. I love playing sports but can't stand poor loosers or winners. It's a GAME! Have fun and let everyone else see it.

Honesty and sportmanship, on and off the field, is tantamount to how you are percieved during play, and when you are representing AGD.

Never let anyone see that you are mad or disappointed in a situation, take that to the team trailer or ready area or, even better, away from the tourney.

When you are in the ready area, or in the AGD booth, you are scrutinized by everyone in sight. You must remain clean in action and word. I can't tell you how many times I left an area where famous teams are cussing up a storm and listening to crude music...loudly. Newbies are the heart and blood of our sport, scaring them (or their Parents) away with bad behavior will not win any hearts and minds...nor sell any AGD products.

OK, enough lecture

Play Hard, Play Fast, Play to Win!

BTW: I'm 41! Even us old and slow guys have a purpose!

hi CoFFeY...nice to meet ya.

that does sound really cool for a team to do to promote the sport and make the younger plyrs feel apart of paintballs future!
we will be working with AGD in those types of things for sure!
good luck with your plans for the future....always set high goals for yourself and u will be very successfull in life!
thnx for the reply.

hi Clare....nice to meet ya.

good sportsmanship covers it all...if one thing really stands out with this team thats it! we rarely ever argue if we get beaten and always shake hands after a match win or lose.
we have alot of mature plyrs and arguing amongst ourselves is very rare.
we will try to uphold the professionalism ppl have come to expect from anyone assoc.with AGD.
look forward to meeting u and introducing the team..
thnx for the reply

Umms lets see:

28
at least three times month
Tourney-ball mostly 5 man
playing since 1989 tournament since 1990

As for expectations, I'd have to agree with everyone in saying AGDs Values. One that most people haven't mentioned is innovative. I know concept fields limit how innovative you can be, but that sure would garner some attention. When WDP launched the angel, they knew it was flashy and they picked up a flashy team. Extrems LX's are innovative and so AGDs teams should try to be also. Its a shame were not still in the woods, there were literally thousands of ways to play a field and being innovative really paid off. welp thats my 2 cents anyway.
