1b. Now seeing what is happening to the industry, happening to teams and the player base, all the teams thinking the big time was just around the corner believed what they needed was then next 15 year old bunker monkey to train and mold into the next Ollie. When the dissalusion starts to bite it's always the older guys who start to jack it in, the 30 somethings who do the organisation and generally sort stuff out, leaving behind all the now 16 year olds who know how to play, know what to wear, are damn sure they are the next ollie, but couldn't book themselves into a tourney, let alone get there and have paint to shoot.

Nail on head

Well I'm 38 and have been playing more or less solidly since 1989 and have seen a lot of change over that time.



I agree but the point I am sort of vaguely making is that with the shift in the player base, there are less people on here that make you laugh and more that you laugh at, which while is a valuble resource of humour, it does smack of 'paintballers do the funniest things'
Got you.

So ...

Oh it's all gone to pot, the "industry" is down-spiralling. Sh!t the bed, it's all a matter of perspective and sitting back pointing at the past and how "things were" is going to do piss all.

I live in the present, dunno about the rest of you :)

I think paintball went down hill with the abolishing of the dead man's walk.

Takes real skill and know how to bust a move like that eh Kitch??
