My brother had been going for a while and he was about to buy his first marker, so I said what the hay, I might as well get one cause he got one. So I bought a marker without even going paintballing before, and luckily I absolutely loved it, and I never regret buying one. :P

well, I was in elementary/middle school and some of the kids in my classes played and i wanted to go play with them, so i talked my mom into letting me buy a tippman 98 starter package and then my dad took me to the local field to play. I was hooked from that point on.

Put this in your signature if you would rather feed balls into your gun by hand instead of a vl quantum.

I went to my best friends birthday party in 5th grade, it was at a paintball place and I had no fun at all I did not shoot one person the whole time I was there...
My sig was edited because it was not within the rules. Images used in signatures are to be less then Width of 600px, and height of 160px. Only ONE image is aloud in the signature, and it must be 30k or less. Only 5 lines of text are aloud. No text larger then size 2 is aloud in the signature.

I was a naughty boy and my image was larger than it was supposed to be. I got mowed by kitty.

I always played airsoft and with pellet guns but 1) you can shoot bb guns safely at each other 2) not a big sceen for airsoft over here. So when I was driving around I saw a sign for paintball and went to the feild to look. The owner was super nice so I started playing. I have loved the sport since then.

It's all about the game and how you play it, All about control and if you can take it
All about your debt and if you can pay it, It's all about pain and who's gonna make it

There was a kid in my 8th grade class that played. It sounded cool, so I bought my spyder, and never got to play. I just shot trees and stuff. I picked up my gun again in 9th grade, and then let it go again, which continued for a while. Then sophomore year I started up again, and haven't really stopped. I play mostly woods because I live in the middle of the woods, but I want to start playing more speedball... anyway, I started because a kid I knew played and from listening to him it sounded fun. Then I found techpb and I that has boosted me with paintball.
if your under 18 and pay for your own gear put this in your sig

It all happened nearly 10 years ago (cheesy wavy dream sequence)

So I was just coming into middle school and my friend was a year older and played, so I thought I would try it. I was sort of scared at frst because I really did not know the mechanics of it at all, but I went anyway.

Showed up at the field and we started playing, me and him agaisnt two other people, and man was it fun. I got shot to many times it was crazy and for some reason wanted more. The next day used my money I had to buy a Blade pump gun, and the rest as they say....is history.

my cousins birthday party.
the moderators agree that while Micheal Phelps as a super sayan animated gif is very very funny.......it is way to big and violates the size rule. I will now go reread the rules and fix my signature -jaldrich

My friend in University got me into it. I always considered getting into it but never had that kick in the ass to finally do it and he helped me out a lot getting my equipment and learning about the game.
