Is this supposed to be cool or something?

Now if you want to really pick a fight, how many paintball "athletes" smoke?

I resemble that comment! Pack a day smoker here...I was trying to quit, then I got divorced...now I'm remarried...ugh...lung cancer, here I come!

However, you people are missing another bounce producing possibility here...body hair.

I'm pretty average physically...5'10", 183...but I'm a hairball (hence the nickname 'Furby') and I can and do get bouncers off my CHEST!

Hairless children...pfft.

even better: huge full length beards all the way down to your belt. Would work just like a ghillie suit, but be a natural pball net . get lit up in full charge and be picking intact balls out of your beard .

Simply untrue. Because back players require no physical attributes besides a fast trigger finger, they could weigh 500 lbs and it would not take any affect on their game.

Wow that is pretty wrong, but its your opinion so here is my take.

Back players direct traffic for the guys upfront. at some point you will begin to lose the tape or your boys at the 50ft. there is going to be a turning point in the game where the back players heafty ace is going to have to move and play a different postion. Its called a clutch player, well in my book. The back is the hardest postion to play because you are responsible for the whole field AND filling in when needed!

Shoot its your game play how you like. Die in the back all alone if you like

If a soft plastic mask can make bouncers possible, then a 3-inch layer of jell-o all around your body will greatly increase bouncers as well.

One of the goals of paintball is to not get hit. getting any bouncers just means you screwed up and are pretty lucky, this is a poor assest since there are a number of areas on any paintballer that are hard surfaces that can be used as targets...

being in shape, aka not fat, will make you a better back player, because people who are in shape are able to think more clearly because their bodies work more efficiently. This is a proven fact.

hah a proven fact! what BS!

[Sir_Brass]

actually, you do feel ALOT better if you're in shape, and you do your best thinking on you feet when you're feeling your best.

/me wonders why jocks aren't all geniuses then, if this is true.

Being in better shape allows you to be more athletic.

[Sir_Brass]

I said think on your feet, not overall intelligence. b/c if you're in better shape, then you can be very active and still think clearly b/c you're not trying to catch your breath all the time .

[Miscue]

Understandably. But if you're good at something, you can still do better than everyone else regardless. Being in shape which can help mental quickness, just makes you that much better. But you can't say that just because someone is out of shape that they won't do well... they just might not do as well as they could. And even that could be plenty good enough, and still better than what others are doing.

[Sir_Brass]

Agreed. I said what I did to counter those folks who were saying to let a backman get good while he's real fit, then have him put on the fat. Not good. A player will ALWAYS be better when he's physically fit than when he's overweight, period. Even if he's not that great when he's fit, he'll be better than if he's overweight. And if he's overweight, but skilled, then he'll be even more effective as a player if he gets himself physically fit.

keep talking all of your fat crap.i am 6'3 300 lbs(most of it in the legs) and 16 years old(woudln't be as big if i didn't break my ankle and sit around all summer but still) but being as big as i am u may think i am as fast as a turtle but really i am as slow as a rabbit. come play against me and i will show you i am as athletic as most(i will even bunker you). for god sakes i ride a bmx bike and i am dam good at it too. but every1 think u must be skinny to ride a bmx bike to be good and get onto a 3 foot ledge. people are always sterotyping me in bmx and paintball and until yo see me play you can't say crap. i know many other large bmx'ers too and they rock the bmx world. my friend micah is around 320 lbs and can backflip as good as koji kraft.(for those of you who don't know koji he is a pro and one of the best)

and i am only dieting for the ladies. so i can stay in the game lol

Apparently, subtle humor is lost here. Perhaps if I put in more "smiles" and LOL's, the satire would get through.

Oh, I'll put away the subtle humor and go straight for the brute-force club of comedy.

**ahem, picks up brute force comedy club**

YO YO YO! FAT PEEPS R0XXORZ!!! FATTIES THINK JUST AT KL33RLY AS THE REST YO YO YO! I'M A BIG *** **-** AND MY BR@INZ W3RK L337!!!!! I C@N 0UT T#!NK @NI ^0U F00Z!!! YO YO YO!!!!

**shivers and puts down the club**

I can't do it. Nope, not gonna happen.

Stuff meant in jest. I didn't realise that this thread, originally about some kid named "Bear", got so deathly serious all the sudden. I guess it's a matter of poking fun at yourself and having it taken as "Written in stone law". I'll back down now, and go play some X-box live. I've got my voice mask set just right, I sound like "Strong Bad" now.

Maybe YOU should re-read what I said - I never said fat guys were the best all around players (which seems to be what you're implying by saying losing weight would help your "game"), but instead my entire argument is on the basis that any fat person could perform the back player position as good or better than that of a slim person.

Back to my original statement about bouncers, example: George is an excellent skinny back player, then puts on 100 lbs. Does he lose back player skill? No! Absolutely not! What I'm saying (and don't say I'm not saying it cause that's what I'm saying ) is the player, George in this case, would not only play his position just as well, but maybe even better because of the fat tit bounce factor. If a soft plastic mask can make bouncers possible, then a 3-inch layer of jell-o all around your body will greatly increase bouncers as well.

cockermongol And I think fat guys are better back players than skinny guys

name a top successful Pro team with a fat back guy.
