hi,
i am just wondering what the difference between hyperball and sup'air ball is.
i know sup air is with the big inflatable barricades.
also this has been bugging me for ages and im kinda new so what is the difference between 1"elbow and 7/8" elbow. the way i see it is that the 7/8" is the angled elbow and the 1" is vertical

the 7/8 elbow is 7/8ths of an inch wide where it fits onto the gun. the 1inch is 1inch wide where it fits the gun. kewl eh?!

Hurts more...

Hyperball, in my experience, tends to hurt more. This could be because i go carooming off at the front, when you are being shot at slowing down so you don't break your nose on a bunker is often a very minor thing.

Sup'Air can be intresting in other ways though, i have heard, but not seen, of bunkrs up and awaying because tethers untethered.
Can that happen or is it myth. I know i have seen players literally crawl under them, sticking there legs under.

kris from our team(he's on the forum) always seem to run into a bunker only to see it get away from him, either by wind or by him running into it abit hard!

I think it happens about every sup'air tournament we go to. One minute he's running to a barricade then he's walking off the field. It's actually unfortunate as it usually happens when he reaches the 50.:D
