    What does it for you?

    What keeps you coming back to the game of paintball? What really does it for you? For me it's the arenaline mainly. The comradery you get with friends. Then there's the amazing technology that has developed since 1988(the year I started playing). I remember when auto triggers on Nelson based pumps were the best thing to happen to paintball.
    The Razorback 3 was the hottest pump, then the SI Bushmaster came out!

      I like to win. This is a sport i am mildly good at, that i enjoy. I plan to play to at least the college level, and possibly higher, depending if i can keep up or not.

        adrenaline, fun, get to shoot the balls, get to legally shoot at people, win, make moves that really throw the other team off, make some sweet headshots on my brother with my pump.

        only place i hit by brother when using my pump is in the head, and mostly when he is moving, and he never knows where i am. he thinks i'm a ninja , but it just works out that way.

          Its the test of skill... Skills I know I have, skills I know my team has. Its the ultimate test of leadership where one individual can make the great difference. Its the greatest test of working together with the people who are my friends, to overcome and see how far we can go.

            I love spreading the sport of paintball to my friends and people i dont even know. Its great to see other people join in on something great. For some of them it was a fad but other bought gear on my influence and still love to play. Other than that i love the increase of technology and checking out new equipment, its an ever changing sport which makes it alot of fun. I like the thrill and rushes of sprinting run throughs to win the game. Its a great feeling. The teamwork makes it awesome, having multiple people cooperate together to win the game. I love the strategys of the different types of paintball, finding out what works. Also building fields is fun. Gosh, I dont know where to stop.

                Adrenaline, teamwork, leadership, taking stuff apart and putting it back together, getting dirty, spending time with friends and with strangers, teaching and helping newer players, making other people dirty, and being loud.

                  That is pretty much why I play. I play baseball as well, but its to keep in shape for paintball.

                  Plus, its fun to watch the kids complain and whine when their $1000+ marker gets taken out with one ball from a pump.

                      adrenaline junkie.

                      but it is cool when people ask "so what sports do you play?" and then i get to awnser, "paintball" and then a good conversation about that.

                      and then, i get to shoot my friends.

                      and the chicks of course.

                          Yeah, that too. My gf obviously finds me immensely more attractive when I come back with welts all over lol. She's all like, "Oh, don't they hurt?" And then I'm like, "Yeah baby, that's why I need you to make me feel better." And then she's like, "Oh well how do you want me to do that?" And I'm like, "Well uh..." And then the porn groove music comes on and it's all crazy like and flipping out and I'm all... yeah... I uh... hrrrm... sorry.

                            I love the sounds of PB's wizzing by your head as you dive to your next bunker up the feild. I love the rush of popping around the corner to snap a few shots at a fellow gunner shooting those same projectiles at 300fps back at you. I love the comoradery of the game and being able to go to the opposing team after the game and congradualt or toss out some pointers befor going back out to do it again. I love the rush as you advance through a feild,building,or encloser unknowing whats around the corner wainting for you. I love the feeling of the adventure and achivements. I Love the team work were even a group of novices working as a team can beat a bunch of pros trying to be loan wolfs. I also love comeing home with the tell tale battle scares of a paintballer, And MOST of all i love the PURE UNALTERED HIGH ADRENILIN PUMPING FUN FACTOR OF THE GAME WE CALL PAINTBALL.

                              in tourneys, when i play, i play to not just win, but, to make people look plain silly when i do it, i want to leave no doubt that they got slapped around by a superior team, and, thats just fun for me.
