"What are they thinking?" re: speedball/tourny today.

I guess we shouldn't tell PsychoBaller about the collector mask straps and mask frames and what they are selling for then....

[txaggie08]

I find it hillarious, when i got out of the game for a while, there was a big pushon for masks that covered your whole head. Now I pick up a pair of vents, and there tiny........smaller than the mask i remember fields NOT allowing me o use back in the day.


Lots of things have changed, Im to the point now were i just do my own thing....

I have no problem playing in jeans and a jersey or camo, or shorts and tees.

As far as the rare straps go... if every strap JT makes is a 1 of xxx and "rare" - then how are any of thier straps rare. A majority of "rare" paintball straps are just ski goggle straps that paintballers never saw cause they don't see.

I thought it was funny that he was so hot that he was dripping with sweat in a bad way after each game. When I said something to him, his buddy said he'd never played before and that he was afraid of getting hit...

lol my first paintball game i had jeans and a thin sweatshirt cuz it was like 50 outside. then it warmed up a bit and i took the sweatshirt off and just had a tshirt. id rather take a few paintballs to bare skin than burn up all day. welts look cooler than sweat stains lol

I imagine they do it for the same reason some one buys "mil sim" upgrades for their woodsball marker (scope,etc)...They're playing dress up.

^^^^^
hahah so true.

With all the mismatching and Agg stuff...I honestly don't do it but think about it this way.
You are a kid playing paintball in gear that makes you look like everyone else on the speedball field. So what do you do?? Have fun with it and make yourself look different and noticable. To be honest I really don't like a lot of the agg kids because of their personality in the game but really if they are playing correctly, let people have their fun.

Paintball these days is about keeping up with the fashions as a part of the game, the companies are getting their marketing down to an art by making people think they NEED an extra oz off of their gun, that they NEED the 1/8' thick foam padding on the jersey elbow. Really there is an extent to what is a smart paintball product and then what are needless ones that are a waste of money.
The market is getting more flooded and people are putting whatever they can out there to make a buck.

Everytime I go to this indoor field by my house I try to stay away from the guys with jerseys, pants, and headbands. Maybe watching tournaments on t.v. has given me the stereotype of what a good player looks like. Then I see they have a Quantum on their Ion and I just start to giggle. :rofl:

LOL How old are you? What year did you get out? FPS is the same, ROF is higher and range is less. Is it hilarious, intresting or stupid? The Vents are to big all ya need are the Gogs.

There was a kid last Saturday that I played with/against running straight CO2 through his Ion. Not even antisiphoned!

Thats pretty common. You've go to remember the ion is a $200 marker alot of people that buy them cant aford HPA.

[Jimmykaboots]

phew are you telling me, $200 is alot of casho for a marker
heck im staying with the automag, alot of this new technology is just overated and overadvertised junk

[Pballwizz]

Has anyone here actually learned was agg really is before dissing it? I myself can take it or leave it, but everyone here that Ive seen is so uneducated about it. It seems you all hate the fashion statement it makes and these "agg kiddies" that Im guessing, since most of you dont even know how to spot them, are just jerk wannabes. Not to mention the huge community it has built, where guys have travelled cross country to meet other HK and Agg supporters (kinda like AO, huh?) and buy each other gifts, gear, etc. etc.
