Is this supposed to be cool or something?

you can be fat and be the best athlete ever. It all depends on the sport and your position.

Hahaha! Don't hate on Bear. It's not worth it. He will be the oldest virgin in paintball. Seriously, the kid can't even shoot fast.

I actually saw Bear on possibly the first day he started playing. He had a shiny red Angel and took it out on the lego field. Gramps was behind the net cheering him on (Gramps was cheering him by name and that's how I know it was him) and he went one on one with a kid packing a Spyder. Mind you this was about 5-6 years ago. Game is called, Bear takes back middle stand up. Sits there and peers around his bunker and then waits. The Spyder kid meanwhile is moving bunker to bunker shooting and bear is too scared to peer out again. Spyder kid gets to about the 30 when Bear decides to take a shot, and when he pokes out the Spyder kid hits him in his gun arm. Bear drops his shiny new angel in the dirt, falls down and starts crying. I just shook my head and walked away.

No need to hate a person like this. The lack of respect and women will be punishment enough.

Ok, the only thing I have to say is that all you little white kids who think your black, take a quick look in the mirror would ya? I am not at all racist, so dont try to pin that sh1t on me. My little sister is white as white gets, and I swear she thinks shes straigt outa Compton. I don't get it. You dont get respect from black kids ("real thugs") you dont get respect from white kids, so whats the f'in point? Please explain this to me. I see it all day at the High School I work at. Do you just not want to be respected? There is nothing worse in my opinion than white kids calling each other "my nigga". Additionally, just because Eminem can be a thug, doesnt give us white folks any "street cred". ROFL

I couldnt help it, and I was bored

But yeah, they should have their barrel condoms on. I bet they shoot squirrels and animals in their backyard too

[Branchvillian]

Someone should inform the fat 10 yar old in the red that getting shot isn't something you brag about, whether he shot himself or not.

Are you saying his dad let him play when he was 6/7 years old? If so, crying might be understandable.

there you go..No SKiLLz taking a page out of DB's handbook and calling a spade a spade...oh well...

Im not sure he was braggin about getting hit, I think they were actually pointing out that he played on without getting caught. They came to pbc a couple times to practice teams there, big cheaters, but bear wasn't a dick. He was a cool guy, imo.

To the people dissing kids who have their parents buy their gear, give the kid a break, hes 12 years old. I know of no 12 year old who can go out and get a job without the use of nepotism. So what his parents cater(sp?) to paintball for him, that gives him an edge over everyone else in that he already has the highest end equipment, and is playing close to the highest level of paintball (or atleast alot better than regional tournaments). He may be butt arse ugly, but I bet him and his team will go far in paintball being that they are where they are already.

The loaded guns without barrel sleeves isn't a great image they're portraying... But to the people stating that these are the people who shoot out their eyes are wrong. Its kids who play in their woods or "backyard ball" without masks, refs, or a properly maintained staging area who end up getting hurt by paintball.

Paintball is becoming a heck of alot more professional every season, people's physique can have an effect on how well they perform, but it definately doesn't effect how well they play as a team, snapshoot, or take bounces (gotta have a little extra "meat").

my 2 cents...

[cockermongol]

I don't believe physical size plays a very big factor in paintball... Really you wouldn't be that much bigger of a target, and I happen to be the fastest person on my team at the pleasantly chubby weight of 230 lbs (that's what happens when you play football for 4 years and squat 400 lbs).

I wonder why that is...probably because most tourny players are competent enough to know that when your gun is in the staging area, it has a condom on it. I don't care who that punk is, if he was around me with his gun like that I would tell him straight up.

[SyntaxError]

I could do my job and mow his face...then would I be gangsta cuz I capped him with my agg gat?

Just wondering

[Steelrat]

Theres one advantage of woodsball. You have to deal with a lot less of the "Agg gat gangsta thugs." Sure, theres a lot of the weekend warriors in their ghillie suits, but at 31, I feel a bit more comfortable with that crowd.

I'm 11, and I have a matrix. That I payed for Do you know how many lawns and how much random stuff I did? Alot. I'm not dissing him or anything, but he really should pay for SOMETHING. My 2 cents...

[tony3]

OMG OMG OMG HES IS GOIN TO SHOT TEH EEYS OUT!11@!!!

You guys freak out over everything. I mean seriously, after sitting in the boiling sun all day watching xball games at chicago open I didn't see one pro put a barrel sock back in his gun. Even watching aftershock and the like practice at badlandz I never saw anyone put their barrel sock in. I guess I'm out of place. It seems like everyone on here still wants it to be like the old days when people wore old pants, a jersey, a backwards hat and a mask and shot a cocker, angel or mag. Times are changing and so is how paintballers dress. And guess what? Acting "gansta" is what everyone is dressing like, 3 years ago doo rags weren't popular, people didn't wear hats forwards, or shoot 15+ bps.

I don't know, I'm pretty jealous of his situation, your dad owns one of the best paintball fields in the whole world, you get all your tourney fees and everything paid for. I would love that, I can finally play the sport I love without worrying about costs.
