Whos parents are supporting them alot through their paintball career?

[CRog075]

I kind of like it, my dad supports it so much with me. I quit wrestling for paintball, thinking he would be a little mad, but he wasnt. He now comes to every tourny with me, takes me to fields anytime I want, and buys me some equipment. I think its cool to have parents support their child when paintball isnt that big of a sport yet

And you are depressed? Boy...you need a reality check! Alot of kids would give their right arm to be in your shoes. Your dad must be a great guy...please go right now and remind him how much you love him for all the great things he does for you. This will make both of you feel great too!

lol...but that was cause of friends/girl friend/school related stuff

Any ways, yeah hes a really good person. He always takes his time out for me, like if I want to go to a store etc, mainly for paintball, he'll stop what hes doing and take me.

oooh, 666 posts...
i WISH my parents were like that...i think my dad's starting to warm up to the idea, but i still hafta buy mostly everything for myself.

I think my parents do... They let me deface our yard (we live out-of-town, just so you know) so I could have a practice field, buy me the odd case of paint (or for tournaments they usually get me a box of All-Stars...), and managed to get me an Outkast Autococker for Christmas.

I'm thinking that this will come to a gradual end when I get a job (soon!), and I'm not complaining - it gets pretty expensive for them, and I'm 99.9% sure that they've got better things to spend money on. (That and the local small business sponsors we're trying to get ought to help.)

heh...well..my parents sign my insurance waivers...thats about it....i buy my own paint, guns, gear, etc...

[HoppysMag]

my parents support me... they dont so much agree with me spending obseen amounts of money all the time but they will let me get a new gun every couple of years, wich i pay for most if not all ( maverick pump for 3 years, then a VM for 2 and now my mag , already 1 year old but plan on using it much longer than 2 yrs) they buy me stuff for my birthday and Xmass, gave me rides to work at the field and my dad has started to show interest in trying playing...

He's just looking for attention.

[ronron2112]

Not really... they dont let me buy anything.. they always complain about how i need to (brain fart) need to... umm FIGURE OUT MY PRIORITIES. they dont understand that i like it..

but they dd buy my gun/tank/new hopper when i got my RT

[Derman2k]

Yea!

My parents are great...We have a pretty flat open back yard and they let me make a speedball field out of it...They don't mind as long as we don't hit the house. They take me to the store just about every weekend and sometimes they even pay for my paint/air.

[automags4ever]

sure

I would say that my parents are very supportive. I cover all the expenses now that I have a job but back in the day they would get me like 500 balls if I really wanted to play. Now I have sweet fields at my house and whenever we get together my mom will buy us chips and drinks(I lover her soooo much). They also look like their listening which means a lot. I know that they hardly ever listen because one time I told my Dad something really important but he did'nt do it because he said he heard something that sounded like paintball at the begining and did'nt listen which is really funny. It means so much because they have no interest in it but they still stand there and pretend that they do. I'm proud to say that I love my mom and dad if they do or don't support me fully. You only have so much time in life peeps, don't wish that you would have said "I love you" that one extra time.
