Naughty Dogs switching to ICD Freestyles?

[Automaggin2]

Word is ND's are switching guns.....AGAIN! Isn't this the 3nd time in a year? I remember WGP released a Naughty Dogs edition eclass then about a month later they switched to Timmys. Don't these teams get locked into contracts?

....wow, thats unexpected. They just got a custom Timmy...
I remember the ND eClass. Looked awesome

I've shot both the e-orracle and the ND timmy... the e-orracle was slower then my emag (He plays on ND, Mapp Chimm if you care and shot my emag... hehe , when I switched it into hybrid he was screaming CHEATERBOARD CHEATERBOARD, it was hilarious ) But then recently about 2 weeks ago I shot his ND timmy, it was breaking paint like crazy, might have been a bad batch of hellfire or something but it just would not stop breaking, turn the eye's off, switch hoppers, adjust the bolt length, change the detents, adjusted the dwell, HPR, LPR, everything thinkable but it would just break paint.

Anyway, I agree they're crazy guys, and incredibly good players. I talked with Rocky Knuth back when E-Orracles were new and he was just talking about the whole story behind ND and how much it's changed, was pretty cool.

Mapp on the other hand... is like a motivational speaker... when you talk to him he's like "You just gotta practice, and practice, work hard, and keep practicing, get noticed by sponsors, then you'll make it good... ya..." Then he was talking about how kids have too much money these days, and how he had to work for his paint and his spyder compact... and here we're holding 600-700 dollar mags

No, they're NOT switching to freestyles, they just going to also shoot them. They're sponsered by NPS, not Bob Long so they can shoot Timmys, ICD markers, even Icon E's if they wanted to. Yes, Rocky even posted that there is a ND freestyle, many people that went to their clinic have seen it. Again, they're not putting down their timmys, some are going to be shooting the timmies, some are going to be shooting freestyles.

There was a pic, but it had to be taken off and I missed it

I don't understand all the pro paintball stuff....but wouldn't companys want to have a team sign some kind of contract when they sponser them?

Just so they don't turn their nose up at them when it comes to stuff like this.

Thats what I said, investing money in producing a marker for only a few short months before you have to stop using the design.

i heard about this at denver.

[warpedside671]

IMPO I think they just don't know what to do anymore.Bud Orr took good care of them.I understand that ND wants a better contrct and maybe a lil more $$$$ on that contract.There still one of my favorite teams.

[Rocky Knuth]

Guys! We are sponsored by NPS! They are our major sponsor. As you know NPS is a HUGE paintball distrubutier! They have TONS and TONS of products.

NPS has great relationships with Bob Long and ICD.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO BE PUTTING OUR TIMMYS DOWN!! But we are adding some FS's to our arsenal.

Thanks,
Rocky

There you have it, two very lame follow up replys.




I think it would be nice if a team, such as ND, had a choice in their personal marker preferances. The dream: To see a team of 7 storming with 2 Hair'd mags, 3 timmys, and 2 DM4/5s..
