[hAppy]

find someone to host that video of jon, we will take misc parts from all the videos that are hosted and turn it into another ao day video. this one might take a while since we had 3 - 4 cameras rolling today

I didn't get lost, so no problem. Had a great time. so when and where is the next one?

[Got_Paint]

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun, keep it up.

[ZapTheMad]

Just got home. You guys summed it up pretty good. I had a ton of fun even with the nays.

My YAYS!

Taking Zak out while avoiding his ropes. He didn't get me once with that nasty spray gun!

SCUBA POWER!!!

Meeting all the way cool AO members

Helping the random Spyder owner out

All the toys!! That shiny new Timmy with a VL200 cracked me up

Watching those rentals fire tippmans at 3 BPS.

MMMM Steak Fajitas

Mag running perfect all day even under "torture" conditions (you will see some torture soon)

My NAYS:

Overcrowded fields

Being in front with no backup vs the pros! Cover my backside dangit!!!

That hard white paint that hurt like a mother

$90 Stiffi barrels suck (wanna buy one?)

Parents not controlling the children. They were stomping paint on the bleachers splattering everywhere. Throwing it at everyone and anything. They almost dropped a 55 gal. drum on my VLM. I laid it down in the shade next to it for a reason you little tyrants!!!

2.5 hour drive home while dead tired

dont forget the mom who parked next to us and when she came by to notice paint splatters that came from the epic field...

she ***** and ***** on and on thinking that WE shot her car..... like she was on energizer... i wiped her car to make her stop


well i had ok fun. this time for some reason paintballs hurt alot then at extreme... maybe cus their fps limit was 260? it seriously hurt alot. and talk about head shots.. spitting pink all over the field ...

[indulgence]

Zap I'd be glad to take that Stiffi off you (if its cocker threaded) for a nice price.. bore size? Uhh fun things for me.. running with that random spyder up to the dorito at snake and getting 3 people out.. why can't I do that with my own gun? its was lots of fun playing with you guys hopefully there will be more to come

[ZapTheMad]

lol, I missed the mom action.

"you wanna see me shoot your car? Here, let me get my scuba tank. I'll show you how to shoot a car!"

[stondroopy]

well i had a great time,it did kinda sucked with the overcrowding but no biggie i guess.chevy's was cool to i was starving hehe next time im wearing my ao hat instead i wont be the wierd guy hanging around the tables .it was a blast and cant wait for the next one

[Z-man]

I'm baaaaak... and I have a raw video up for a select few NorCal who showed to preview.... Ill have a complete video up tonoght one way or the other. Yes we did break 30bps sustained... AIM anyone ?

[Got_Paint]

Hey Zap what was the problem with teh Stiffi? Just didn't like or was there a maufacturer defect? If it was Mike will replace it.

[shadowfalcon78]

the 35 bps shooting in happyazn's backyard was crazy. not to mention the many breaks.

mike-u shoulda took the picture when i was

To quote Griff on Redvs.Blue " Only a chick can give you a headache this big!" But seriously thought it is my fault.

You know I'm surprised that no one mentioned the initial incident with the remote hose. Lets just say that the hose itself may be rated at 3000psi, but the fittings sure aren't.

[ZapTheMad]

As far as I can tell, there is nothing wrong with it, except it isn't as accurate as I like. The bore looks as good as any other high end barrel out there. I'm just not happy with it's performance for the price I paid for it. It shoots like a $20 barrel to me.

[ZapTheMad]

lol teddy, I was just joking with you. We've all turned the wrong way at some time or another :)

And the hose haha! I'm going to take it to a parker hose shop and have them fix it up. I'm sure it will take the punishment next time. I'm just glad I thought of holding the ends before gassing up. That could have whipped me pretty hard!

[Big Weapons]

This was actually my first AO day it compelled me to register. That 30+bps mag wasn't as accurate as it should be, but that's understandable at 2400psi. I'd hate to be on the receiving end on that thing

Oh.. I'm the guy on the right in the group pic.. short asian kid wearing the red Dye jersey.
