    superstitions

    Do you guys have any superstitions in paintball and in life in general?
    the only one i can think of is that i never talk bad about my car if im within earshot of it, and if i do i apologize too it, wouldn't wanna anger the machine god now would we.

    so lets hear em, whats yours?

    I use anti-superstitions.

    I figure the only way to overcome bad luck is to heave it all upon you and still prevail.

    I do what ever I think will bring it on,speaking positively 'before' I do something,bringing up possible disasters,wearing or carrying things that I did during a previous 'bad' day/competition etc.

    Therefore, nothing is associated with a jinx or superstition.

    Since I believe that 'superstitions' are simply a state of mind and act on a persons subconscious,this usually eliminates that possibility.

    Jay.

    Except if that whole process is just a superstition!

      I've found that if I hump my gun before a day of play, it preforms worse on the field the next day.

      Note to self: DO NOT HUMP GUN ON FRIDAYS

        I dance a jig around each paintball before I load my hopper and pods for a game.

          Every time before I play a tournement, not practice, I take off my chain necklace, but leave my ball necklace (not a typical ball necklace... this one is literally over 10 years old ) And I wear my dads bands shirt (mishaps) under my jersey. I also HAVE to wear my 3.5 foot long stocking cap under my mask, with a headband underneith. Yes I would play without that stuff, but everything has a certain meaning to me so I try to keep it with me whenever I can.

              The one major one is that I always wear one sock inside out. Every day. Every time I wear both right side ouot, I have a really bad day.

                      I always take a dump before tests and sporting events. Even if I don't have to. If I don't, then I'm in trouble...
