Started taking an interest when I was about 12 back in '08. Got my first setup from LiPS in early '09 when I was 13, Proto SLG UL & a Dye Rotor. Damn, that was the bawss.
Looking back on thread's I made when my voice was higher than Beiber's makes me feel embarrassed...
I fund my paintballing through via online marketing and similar virtual monetising ventures, all at 15... i've purchased everything minus my SLG with my own cash
