On the Risk of Sounding like Warped1....

I'm just confused as to why Dave Youngblood goes by Dave DeHaan...

Wow you just made me feel old.

I think that might be backwards. From the sound of the article, Dave DeHaan went by the Name Dave Youngblood.

Effective now, I am changing my last name to Bloodfist.

I thought you wanted to be 'Erik the Viking'?

I sure would like to get paid six figures for playing paintball...but then again...I guess it would be nice to get paid a salary for ANY game.

I love where it says in the article that he was offered at least 6 figures....and then someone else is quoted as saying he got at least $100,000.......
...like DUH Capt Obvious!!!!

OK

Dave Dehaan= Dave Youngblood

just like

Tom Kotsiopolous= Tom Kaye

Youngblood was a nickname given to him, and he decided to continue with it, because it is what everyone in the industry knew him by at the time.

DYE= Dave Youngblood Enterprises

hope that sums it all up

I think DYE will make him as an individual more of a marketing force and let him control his own destiny and future much better. Break out the tuxedo print jersey and go nuts for fun.

Yep. Clears it up. I've known of Dave Youngblood for a very long time--I've been playing for 13 years. I've just never heard of him by his real surname.

What's funny is, in reading his post, he says it's the toughest decision he's ever had to make and it will change his life so dramatically. He needs to get over himself already! I mean really--he's getting paid $100k to PLAY PAINTBALL!!
It's not like he's joining the military and going off to fight a war with the possibility of never going home.

I cant wait when the pb indusrty suddenly dries up and dies and all these "pro" kids have no where to go without a college degree or even a highschool diploma.

They have been big names in an extreme sport. They'll learn football or baseball and go work for ESPN.

Unlikely

They'll end up flipping burgers, washing floors, or pumping gas

Likely

well, lets look at what happened to skate boarding back in the 80's. It almost completely died, much like agressive skating baisically has. Only the true hearted pros lasted through, while the others just baisically faded into oblivion. some of the big names persued other ventures, and others kept idle till the return of the sport and started companies etc.

who knows, but i think wishing poor fortune onto somone, hoping that they end up flipping burgers the rest of their life, is rather shortsighted and mean spirited of someone to say.
