Dosent matter if you play good or not, just as long as you look good doing it!

That always reminds me of what my buddies used to say when we went skiing...

"Never worry about your landing. Just make sure you look good in the air!"

Reason: They never use landings for cover shots!

I used to be good when I had my mag. Thats because I wasnt cocky(It didnt shoot fast, so I had nothing to brag.), and I had to use more of my brain to play. Then I bought a hyperframe, and got into electro world and started to spray a lot of paint, and my skills that I worked on for so long were gone. My mag with stock carbon triggerframe, J&J barrel, 12v and flatline nitro would always be the thing I learned from. Untill I got rid of it. Im going to start playing pump against semi now, with little more than a tigershark and a co2 bottle. Gone are the days of spray and play Im going back to learn the basics!

This is why I play stock class, as well as playing with my Mag. Not that it makes me a better player, mind you, but at least I don't forget what it took me years to learn.

As for sucking. I do too, but the important thing is to suck with style. Better to get tagged making that crazy move that has a 1 in a million chance of succeeding, then to get tagged hiding behind a bunker, hiding. That is what I tell walk-on players and new players when they come up to me in awe because I seem to know what I am doing and I have my own equipment.

P.S: Oh and Dayspring, I was there on your first day of playing speedball, and you didn't suck.

i seem to have a train of newbies and younger kids with Spyders following me around every time I play, it's cool, but I felt like a big jerk last time I played because these two middle schoolers were like "Hey Nathan!" and I had no idea what their names were even though I'd played with them 2 weeks before.

At my school I'm almost worshped as a god in paintball. Its manly because I have a freeflow and all the guys there have spyders. But when i'm acutley playin I really sux. All I think about is how much I don't like to get shot and I seem to do better.

I think my title says it all

Some times you track the bear
Some times the bear tracks you

I have my share of days that I totally suck (normally my team carries my weight for me then).

and stuff

haha this thread is pretty cool. i love the way nobody is acting like they are awesome. im not gonna sit here and say i suck like half the people here. lol. but im not too good either. i mean ill have days where ill take out a ton of Am A guys and then ill have the days where a group of Noobs make a ton of crazy suicide run and takes me out before i even saw it coming. but the reason i play paintball is because its plain fun. from playing to going to the chicago open when it comes around to messing with guns. anything paintball is fun. i go to warped sportz and talk to the guys there cuz im bored and talking about paintball is fun to me. nothing is as fun as playing though. i am on a local 3 man team consisting of me and my 2 best paintballing friends. we have jerseys and expensive markers but that doesnt give us big heads on the field. we go out and have a blast. we play every weekend and love it more and more as we learn more and more. when it comes to tourneys, if we win HELL YEA!! if we lose who cares, we got done playing paintball and it was damn fun!! point is keep your head up, enjoy this amazing sport of adrenalin pumping action and team strategy, and play til u drop no matter how much u suck or how good u are.
