Does anyone else do this ?

[NIghtStalker001]

I play paintball pretty regular and one of my favorite things to do is to go on the field looking like a newbie. With everyone concerned how they look ,how much there marker is worth and all the hype,me and my brother love going to local fields looking like we dont know what were doing.
With a t shirst on and blue jeans the players that are concerned with looks,look at you like you suck. There is no greater satisfaction for me then taking out peole that underestimate us because how we look.If you havnt tried it,please do.you actually get more respect looking like you dont have a clue and taking people out,then to show up in full gear and getting smoked by someone wearing sweats. Its funny and fun.
we actually showed up to a tournament wearing sweats and a camo jersy and took 1st. It was only a local three man with only about 10 teams playing but the look on there faces when we entered was that of disgust,but when it was said and done I think we changed alot of peoples opinons on looks

Good idea, but i'd rather do what I do dress in my dye pants and ratco jersey.

[NIghtStalker001]

I know what you'd rather do.I'm not saying get rid of all the gear you spent your hard earned money on. What im saying is try it for fun. try it for the reaction on there faces.
If you look the part of this tourneyed out player people will expect that kind of play.Now if you know how to play well and you dress down they dont expect you to be very good and it causes a surprise. Like damn how did that newbie run up and bunker me,or how did he make that move without me seeing and get a side shot. Its just causes a different usally entertaining reaction.

why front, either way? I'm not going to act a certain way just to get a response. I'll let my playing do the talking, not how I dress -- even if I'm trying to 'dupe' anyone.

Glad to hear it worked for you but I'm sorry, but I just like being myself.

It is funny though, I don't even own a jersey or paintball pants, and i've been playing since87. I wear camo pants and either a t-shirt or camo shirt,and when teams start getting picked, all the guys wearing jersys get picked first,but by the third or forth game , experince starts getting picked over flash.

I agree with you 100%. My gear is a blk tshirt and some ol shorts. Its funny when you hear the other team talking about the ol guy with the Blk shirt and Hey what kind of marker is that?
You should of seen the kids eyes when I walked onto the Hyperball field with my Sherdian pump with a full wooden stock , it was kewl I shot 12 rounds hit 2 and got barrel tag at the 50

Somtimes you have to pull out the backup mag and do it oldschool style.

LOL... I do this often, the last one on one I played in I showed up in new denim jeans and a blue button down shirt - I was called the "office depot guy". Noone seemed to notice my Dye cleats or the Shocker I pulled out. The first game everyone started taking me seriously when I hit the snake... crawled down it, and surprised my opponent who had no idea where I had gone off the break.

I play more often in demin and a t-shirt (jersey when required) than I do with my C4 gear... its just more comfortable. Besides.. I do it to "stand out" in the tourney crowd I hang with, so I guess its a fashion statement as much as Dye gear is.

Edit: PS: Dye pants make excellent skiing pants.

I've done that before. I can't understand why there is so much attention to what gear you have and what you are wearing... PB players are like a bunch of women, seriously.

No way... they're 100 times worse. With PB players, that's ALL that matters. It's not about skill or quality, it's all about looks.

The reason why I like doing this is that I relize for most players it is about the looks,so if you flip it on em hopfully they will walk away with a diferent attitude like gheez I guess all this money on looks dosent really help my game,because some guy that looks like a newbie just smoked me.

[Bear_Claw]

Hmm i dont even own ANY Paintball labeled clothing and sutch and NEVER have (Probl never will). I been playing PB for 3 years and up till last month ONLY played with Tippmanns. You want to see shock, Go in Jeans a t-shirt and a LIGHTLY moded Tippmann Pro/Carbine as your Speedbal gun WITH NO PACK (Just got my first two pod pack last month).

dangit!!! i guess i have to take my dye c5 stuff back again!! they said it wold help my skill.
i completely understand this post, i have never tried to look like a sleeper adn then wow everyone at the field but i understand why some people would do that. some people like to wear the new gear, even if they suck, what is wrong with that? some people are too caught up in it while other like teh extra protection.....
