just sat pondering over paintball and how long I have left to play. ¬I started thinking who is the oldest regular player. Must play at least once a month. I'll start it off I'm 43.

How long you got left to play?
Sounds a bit terminal to me coz in reality, you decide when you give up ...and it generally corresponds when you stop enjoying playing and that can happen at any age.

Sid Spittle, one of the original Predators kept playing top end paintball in his fifties and he was able to achieve this because he just loved the game so much .... but boy, could that man cheat, he made Marcus Nielsen look like the pope.

But I gotta say, I always admired his love for the game.

And I do hear he is playing with Twizz in next year's world cup and he must be in his 60's now.
So it just goes to show, you are never to old to wipe ....well unless he's wearing an incontinence bag now :)

These are some of the ages of our team members off the top of me head..

12, 17,16, 20's, 21's, Lots of mid 20's, 38 and over...

Think everyone is different to when they want to give up or Have to give up...
