If you quit paintball you will probably end up wanting to get back into the sport. The exact same thing happened to me. I sold all m equipment to buy my 400ex, then a year later I got back into paintball. So now I have my quad, and I have an Impulse and a Speed Angel.

Yeah I tried to get into paintball a while back. I bought a gun and some gear, noting fancy, then everyone here stopped playing. I don't know how you can spend 2-3000 dollars on paintball, but I would sell out. Paintball is another fad and it will be gone someday. Sell out while you can still get something for it.

Id sell out. You can always get back into it. You could also sell then spend like 170 on a e99 and a tank and then still paintball.

I would try to sell out most of your stuff or most of it and then you could buy a cheaper gun and still play

i agree with flipstick sell it all but your gun and get the best of both worlds, you can have cash and still shoot unsuspecting cars at 3 am.;)

Quads over Paintball


:p



I would sell everything but the gun. You can always rig some cheap gear up. A lifejacket, your helmet and googles, and you're ready to go. :huh

Well there the same in some ways. Both paintballing and quading
give you a rush of adrenilen (sp), but different kinds. I have a VL
Revelation and it works fine for me. Go for the best of both worlds.

Who uses a life jacket to go play paintball? Number one you would look rediculous to other experienced players. Number two, if your not a pansey you should be able to take the 5-10 second sting of the ball busting on impact.

I played yesterday and got shot twice on my leg, it was funny I have two big welts there now..

I would sell the un-needed stuff, there is no point of having if it is not in use.

my signature clothes were camo pants, white sleeveless t-shirt, yellow hat on backwards, and my mask. certain level of intimidation by how you dress :) although i suppose i wasn't very intimidating after taking a shot to the arm or something from close range... ouchies.:confused2

tippmann 98 with a flatline barrel! i used to have one of those i'd use during certain speedball games. if i planned on playing the back line, i'd sit in one of the back bunkers and just let her rip. i hit one guy right in the mask from like 50 yards away one time. if you don't know what the flatline is, it is a curved barrel that puts backspin on the ball and sends her flying across the entire field. extremely accurate too!

I was into PB for awhile, but for the cost of balls and just keeping stuff up to date and the stuff, I would rather be on my quad, or atleast having it look nicer :D I only have about $200 worth of stuff (I just played casualy...) but I want to sell it, buy skids or something...

I have been playing paintball for the last 6 years and I've recently been thinking of quitting and selling my stuff as well. I've been playing on a tournament team for the last 3 years and was recently kicked off due to my lack of showing up for practice because of riding. I havent played in the last two months because I've started racing and riding every day. I have an 02 matrix, halo b and a bunch of dye stuff so I could probobly get over $1,500 for all my stuff. That would be a nice amount for mods for my 400ex or a start to getting the new yfz450 or a 250r. But I'm not sure for now, I'll let you know when I decide.
