used to, but it got too expensive for me. I loved it, however my funding just wasn't there. And i preferred big scenario type games over competition. I liked being out in the woods patrolling rather than making quick dashes between inflatables.

I play but not as often as I used to, it's so damn expensive but in my opinion the cost is on par with how much fun I have each time I go

I was big into it for a while, and we were doing pretty well in NEPL and shit, but it just costs too much money, and once you get into the tourny scene its more frustrating than fun.

Im selling an unused CRYO ws-1620 paintball mask with dakine goggles?

I dont' paintball at all so im not 100% sure if that is it. I won it in a endurance race in Japan and I havn't been able to find anything on it. The price tag on it is 19,530 yen though which is approx $240.67 Canadian. No idea if it is worth that though.

My 2 cents worth in this thread although i realize it is greedy self promotion :(

Speedball all the way it's so fun when your good and have friends that are good, just runnin strategies on bad kids and shittin on them is almost as satisfying as fresh pow. That and 3+ kill rushes up one side.

i used to play speedball, it was pretty big where i lived, then both speedball places closed down for some reason (i was honestly never able to figure out why, they both did ALOT of business) and everyone stopped. i still have an ion and a 98 custom pro. when i first started i was still really small and i would occasionally do games of just me on 3 other guys. i was only like 4 feet tall before i hit a growth spurt and would basically just take 5050 off the break and then use my tinyness to remain unseen for the next 2 minutes while i smoked bitches.

vest? really? all they do is make balls break on you easier, and make it harder to feel when you are getting shot. plus they are always like $90

im all about that oversizied hoodie and a pod belt.

I got mine for free and with how my woods are the only portion of you that ever gets hit (at least with me and my friends) is the mask.

I was huge into paintball but the local gigantic kickass amazing woodsball field got condemned as a landslide hazard and I never really thought speedball was that fun so I pretty much quit. Recently though they opened a new field I'm thinking about starting up again. Dug the ol Autococker out of the garage.

Do nitro tanks still work after sitting for 4 or 5 years? I know you have to get them retested but are they normally still fine?

Also to people still use Ricochet hoppers? Those things were so ridiculous looking lol.

About the tank thing I am not too sure. I know a friend of mine took an old one I bought off a friend to get it tested and it was only 3 years old but it was already bad.


And I think Ricochet's are dead. Me and all my friends use one of these three:

all of those loaders are dead.

you should definitely upgrade to a dye rotor or one of the new odyssey loaders.
you'll fall in love

Yeah I remember Evos but they only had the original one when I played and it was way more expensive than everything else. I've got the one that just looks like a normal hopper with a rectanlge on the back for the battery.

Does everyone still use either an Nvader or a Proteus? Nvaders were the shit I always felt like I was gonna get shot in the chin wearing a Proteus. Its nuts to me that paintball guns have clips now and look realistic that used to be a big no no.

Dude, the Dye Rotor ones I went to get one but they are like $120! It's fucking insane. I would love to upgrade but they are pricey as hell.

That so ridiculous for a hopper. Why do you even need that? What you need to load like 40bps? Mine maxes out at 15 I think and it cost me $40. Shooting any faster than that just seems like a waste of paint. Plus I know I can't shoot over 15bps anyway because I prefer sliding triggers.

yeah i play pretty much every weekend, it was expensive in the beginning but now its dirt cheap. actually pretty much free.

I'm on a team, over the last few years we have won a bunch of mpt and mvp awards. Placed top 3 in a bunch of novice nepl tourneys. And now we are sponsored by eclipse, exault, valken, PnL paintball, energy batterys, paintball supply shack, and fox 4 paintball. and they pay for pretty much everything. Its a good gig

The other thing too is I don't speedball.. I'm always in the woods for friends so I am needing to replace shit that I keep wearing out like my vest (hence the RAP4 one I have now).

Plus I needed to up my gun... my old A5 wasn't cutting it. It had a Flatline, Response Trigger, and Expansion Chamber but I just could never tune it.

honestly, there is no point in getting a rotor.. unless your sponsored/on a team. Halo's are not dead, they are good loaders for ~$60, cheaper used if you don't got $.

i loved the mouse trigger for the vs3, but I literally got it to work 1 out of 8 times... Finally convinced myself to get a Dynasty Ion (yeah hatehatehate), but at the end of the day it was reliable, gave me 0 problems, and was fast enough to get me through the speedball days..

The only other thing I can think of for getting a DYE rotor for is if you have the DYE lock lid pods because don't they open automatically if you use a DYE rotor?

well rotors are basically indestructible. i submerged my whole loader in water to clean it out and it still worked perfect. i mean you can run them over with a car.

sooo even if you dont need a super fast loader they are still great because they will probably outlast most of your other gear.
