[BajaBoy]

I'm always bad the first game or two of Speedball, but after a few games I can usually keep up with the local tourney players... well kinda, I'm not getting murdered, but I'm not actually winning many 1on1 snap shooting duels

Hey, me too. Don't let it get you down. But, I wear a jersey, so at least I can look like I know what I'm doing. I guess I'm pretty good for only playing 12 times, EVER. I just need to get a job so I can play more often.

ya last time i played i kicked ***. And i had a spyder with a messed up trigger. So that added to my arragance but soon... maybe the next game im gonna get wasted. But i don't care. Although when you guys said about other sports i have more than once thought about selling my paintball gun and persuing some other hobby/sport. But i almost feel a duty to play paintball, its weird.

I just started playing again after like a five month break. Right now I play down right crappy to merely okay. I'm hoping to get my act together soon though.

Hey, most people aren't to great, but they keep playing.

But, think about golf for a minute. Being able to play to the standard, par, considerers you VERY good.

[RamboPreacher]

Good? good?!! well, I am absolutely...


about average.

Paintball is FUN!!!

I don't really care much about being "good", I just want to have fun! Yes, I do my best for the teams I play on, but really it is more about having fun.

Paintball is FUN!!!

when playing rec-ball, it is sometimes more fun to see the renters/newbies hot me,a dn hear the subsequent "stories" about their "skill", than it is for me to go why-lay an unexpected new player with tunnel vision.

Paintball is FUN!!!

No, I am not saying that everytime I get hit, I let it happen (far from it), but when I do (I said, when, not if - hehehehee) - I always have fun playing paintball

i would say my expiriance is about what puts at average, but im nothing spactacular, and i have been in vited to play at the past 2 nppl events, and in orlando, all of which i turned down for lack of funds. so you dont need to be a rock star to play nppl

[InfinatyBPS]

I also suck, I get tagged by noobs all the time(usualy when I'm out and watching on the sideline )
But I wear my pbj jersey and tote my customized cocker and people tend to think that I know what I'm doing, that is until they see me play Then its kinda hard to hide my bad playing. But hey I can always blame it on my badly timed cocker...

Just played a big game on Sunday. Let me tell you that I had a zen moment. I was Keanu Reeves in the Matrix. I was the 'ONE'. Paintballs were flying at me and I could literally see them moving in slow motion. I was ducking and dodging all while returning fire.

My opponents stopped shooting and I stopped as well sure that they had dropped their markers to applaud my awesome performance. Instead one of them yelled, "Check your hopper." My hopper? How dare these inferior idiots ask me to check my hopper! I humored them......only to find a large splat on the front!

Well lets say I almost had a zen moment

Seriously I had a blast. Don't get discouraged. There are days we do really well and days that we constantly seem to be eliminated. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Some times your the dog
And some times your the hydrant

[Gijim]

HAHAHAH!!!

HAHAHAAH that was funny blaze, that about sums it up. Sometimes it works other times it doesn't. Like Rambo said it is about having fun without that might as well go home and chat on the forums

[i-luv-my-rt]

No matter what paintball with always be FUN but at times it is more then just trying to have fun. WHen you go to an NPPL event just wanting to have fun then your in for a big suprise. It is to much money and time to be focused on fun, you WANT to win. But no matter what the outcome at the end of the day when your looking back you've always had fun you might just not of noticed it at the moment.

I suck sometimes and play well other times. When I do suck, I just buy a new gun because I need to blame something.
