Speedball only. He will play woodsball for fun on rare occasions. But he is super competitive. This is a picture of his team in at the European World Cup in Amsterdam last year playing for Baltimore Nasty It was more like a Mud Bowl. My son is in the middle. I used to be a professional paintball photographer for Paintball Sports Magazine. That was a lot of fun...until they went under. RobMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you live in Texas, cause as we all know EVERYTHING is bigger there! Maybe these are Texan balls? Ya think?

Been playing it for years. I played Tourneys for most of the 90s. (showing my age) We were a very solid amateur team. Seeing there was only about 16 or so pro teams back then and I think we were better than 3 or 4 of them at least. We beat a few at tourneys and scrimmaging. What years were you shooting for Paintball Sports? I played for Ohio Xtreme in the mid 90s. We won the 5 man Zapp International Ametuer Open in 95 I believe. That was our biggest win tourney win. Love the sport still. Streetcleaner and YACCster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I covered mostly PSP events nationwide and one NXL tournament in Virginia. I also covered many celebrity charity paintball events like the Ray Lewis (of the Baltimore Ravens) tournament. Not sure if you know who Bea Paxson is, but I worked for her. Good friends with her and her husband Mike who played for the Ironmen. Got to know many of the pros at that time, Ollie Lang, Alex Fraige, Nicky Cuba, Todd Matrinez. My son remains good friends with Todd.

Met Bob Long, Youngblood and a few others in the 92 World Cup in NY, Our bracket was Brutal there but was an awesome time. I'm the 2nd from the far left on the bottom row. More hair, less grey, less fat in that pic lol. Edited February 8, 2021 by Hoth Smeggie and Streetcleaner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
