What happens when paintball isnt enough??

[ThisStarNeverFalls]

Lets face it guys for the most of us, paintball is an adrenaline rush and we thus become hella addicted to the sport. Its fast, intense, your shooting, being shot at, etc...the game is just extremely intense and adrenaline pumping. Well what Ive started to notice is that the more time goes by the less and less thrilling the sport is...Ive noticed this more and more with other things also, racing cars, extreme sports, etc....What exactly happens or what have other done with your usual rush, is no longer enough??

you go faster and faster till your obituary reads "Man at 80 dies after trying to jump 100 foot crevace in a porche."



if your looking for a new rush, try jetskiing. at 90+ mph with waves 8+ feet high, that should keep you occupied for a bit

Paintball was me calming down...

try a different aspect of the game. I experienced a huge rush when I played stock class the first time against semi's...

i suppose you take a break for a bit...... sell your markers/gear/ect. then use that money to get into something else, when you're done there you could either come back, or keep on moving down the road of extreme sports, till glickman is right and

Ive tried close to 200 in cars, 150-180 on bikes, dirt bikes, four wheelers, jet skis, stock class against semis...In the next few months im moving to jumping out of a plan to see it that helps...guess its a bad habit to get addicted to the fact of the adrenaline rush isnt it??

[HOMELANDEFENDER]

I'd say try modifying the game so that its more of a challenge to do well. Such as -- I also run with a Tippmann A5 at times -- to be more of a challenge I now only use a Tac-Cap (30 rnd hopper) to make me work harder for a "kill". It really changes tactics -- just like going Stock class but not as extreme.

HLD...

Paintball is the relaxing weekend activity compared to my other hobby: medieval armoured combat. *evil grin*

Don't worry. The thrill you get from paintball will go away, but as time goes by you will get older and find thrills in new things, like paying bills and colonoscopies.

I have a feeling Glickman is the closet to being right, ill keep trying to get faster and more, until it well, kills me. Atleast ill die having fun!
