you also have a huge advantage over everyone else because you can afford to come out everyweekend and play nonstop and not worry about how much paint you shoot. use that advantage and play.

lol for real egpboi? man dont quit paintball just because of us saying you neeed some practice mayne? is this how you are gonna handle everything man is someone tells you you need to work on this or that and then you just quit saying all that you got all this stuff in something that doesnt even relate help or do anything at all and walk off? if you want to quit GO AHEAD! YOUR CHOICE YOUR WILL! im not gonna force you to but man it would be really fun and enjoyable for you to play with us even though i was sooooo fn tired from like 2 days of no sleep before i had an amazing time with u i might not have seemed like it but that was because i was gonna drop dead. But please feel free to comeout and play man dont quit anything just because someone says that how about you start coming out with us and prove us wrong? that you dont really need that much practice and since you can afford it you have no really to lose? so be HAPPY! and PLAY!!!!
congrats everybody for playing on the fn hottest and longest days and still being able to play some games and hanging in there i know it waS hard but that alone right there says alot about dedication right there if your willing to play with all that thats pretty damn good!

As point of reference, I played, coached, sponsored or co-sponsored 6 or 7 different teams over an 8 year period. The rosters changed at least twice year and usually every tourney. Many times players who did not make the team or were on the B team ended on the A team within the year. Two players from our B team were playing pro or semi pro in 3 years. So if you just keep at it chances are things will happen.

Dylan, all i will say is one thing and one thing only
I dont know if this will change your mind but it changed my mind a while ago when i use to have the same state of mind as you.

'You are never too good to quit practicing' A coach told me that, and when you think about it, look at the pros, not in just paintball but in ALL sports

motocross, those pros practice
same with football, soccer, lacross, ect. EVERYONE practice to get better, hell if your good then be the best, if your the best then be the greatest.


ill just give you one scenario, you like motocross right, and i guess you good right being you have 3 sponsers, Okay lets say they find someone else better than you, and strip your sponsership and give it to that other person, will you just quit? or will you FIGHT, PRATCIE, and PROVE them that you are better?

you tell me, becuase we arnt kicking you off the team, no. We are offering you to practice with us, to get better. You do have alot of potential. i saw it in you when you and I went at it in the snake.

So dylan and MASON (all this goes for you to.)
If your quit just becuase we say you need more practice, i am sorry but i dont know how you two will survive in the world of sports, becase in all sports require practice no matter how bad or how good you are.

Oh yeah, I just wanted to throw one thing out there. You guys were watching us and us only. If I remember correctly you said if we do better than someone already on the team they were getting replaced. You werent keeping a eye out for the people already on the team. Next time I am asking you to do that because I know I can outshoot 2 people on the team. I think we are just playing favorites here...

not replaced, moved, remember team a and team b. we have more players wanting to join. so the chances are we will run two squads.

When you think about it, Mason, we were watching you guys play seeing how you perform not trying to kill you guys all out, so if you took one of us out then okay goodd for you but we wernt really playing, we were really seeing how you perform.

Now if you want us to Play full out, then sure, we could arrange that.
