I said the same thing a while ago. You'll regret it. Trust me.

If your that pushed for money. Just take a break. If you still think it costs too much money just find some land, take anything you can find and make a field with your friends. No field fees, you can just buy cheaper paint since you wont have to worry about buying field paint. And you can still have a good time. Don't quit. But do not sell your gun and stuff, wou will come crawling back, everyone always does.

yeah, or see if you can ref in return for money/free paint/discount or something

**Ryan_Page** · July 29th, 09:19 AM

yeah, dont sell your gear, you'll be back within a month or two. stay in man, pb needs all the talent it can gat because of those noobs popping up everywhere.

if your loosing interest, get a job in paintball biz, but dont actually play in the games. be a ref, or get a job as a dealer in your local field. dont play so much, and get a new gun.

Dude I swear to god I am gonna F**King smack you. Dont you quit on me soldier, I mean I can see your point cuz RC cars are just SOOOOOO much fun. Dude I would say dont make me laugh but if you walk out on this Im gonna be pissed. You should just chill out and watch some Red Vs Blue to take the edge off and think about how much paintball rocks and how much RC cars blow (in comparison to PB).

And to the rest of you vultures, at least wait until hes dead before you start picking at the bones. "Hey I'll take your [insert PB equipment here] for [insert money amount here]". You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

Flatty dont do this man cuz if you do Im not letting your gunless ass borrow a gun the next time we play.

**Christian** · July 31st, 02:03 PM

don't quit...do what I did and sell all of your high end gear and get a nice pump gun. Heck, I played last night with my friends pump and it only costs me 10.00 and it was just as fun as tourneys.

**META** · July 31st, 04:02 PM

yeh, even though I dont know you im just some random newb that spends all day reading each and every post on this forum, squeezing every bit of information from each thread so I can make my first ever paint ball game nextweek good, I still say DONT STOP PAINT BALL(ING)!!

Dude, if you enjoy it - do it! It doesnt matter if you do it once a week, once a month or once every 5 months if you enjoy doing someyhing dont stop just cause you think you cant afford it!

Yeh!

(As if my post will sway your decision :P )

im playing on the 7th, ill let you guys know what happens. ive been thinking a lot and i think i may end up staying. rc isnt quite as... badass. lol. and i cant ref or anything since 1. i cant get a ride there(30min away) and 2. i work every day. when i get a new job i think ill try buying 1000rds and playing 2x a month instead of buying 2000rds and playing one day... i never like leaving a hobby/sport, but ive done it like 3 times already(flatland bmx, micro rc, big scale nitro rc). flatland i havent done for about 2 years(seriously anyways) and i still dont really care for getting back into it. it was fun for the time but it just got old. *I* was responsible for creating the second largest east coast flatland scene and like the 4th or 5th in the US. it all started from 10 guys meeting in a kmart parking lot. 1 year and 4 "flatland jams" later, we had about 30-40 guys showing up. we had a guy drive all the way from FLORIDA to ride with us. but it just got old. i still have my bike thinking "ill wanna ride again soon" and guess what, i havent unfortunately. so i have about $800 worth of bike parts in my garage. then it was micros, 1/64 scale rcs. the little zipzaps from radioshack(pathetic lol). but after about a year i stepped up into nitro rc cars and bought a tmaxx. $2000 later i realized it was a waste. ill just have to see what happens with paintball. i change my mind so many times and go back and forth between options its hard to tell what i really want to do anymore.

for everyitng aboot 300

**flatlander_14** · August 1st, 05:17 PM

are you stupid or something?

**flatlander_14** · August 2nd, 02:38 PM

gah, i cant even get a ride to the field on the 7th so i guess im just gonna sell it all and not look back. ill probably get back into pb eventually, but right now it costs too much and when i can afford it, its not as much fun to me. ill have to run it by my parents and then probably sell my gear. keep a look out in the b/s/t forum.

**flatlander_14** · August 2nd, 09:44 PM

im leaving, buy my stuff lol

i still gotta find someone to get my gun, harness and pods, and box of misc crap...

**Ryan_Page** · August 3rd, 06:49 AM

well, since your out now (damn it) i guess i'll ask whats in that box of misc crap?

**matt9119** · August 3rd, 02:09 PM

oka first R/c cars are not cheap. i used to be into those things they are only fun to build other than that they break a lot and they are very fagile no matter what kind. And if you were first going into nitro you should have gotten a GT they dont ever break and come premade but besides the point they still cost money you have to buy a $200 charger and like $50 battries to get a good 20 min run other than that they just sit there. Thrust me they are a lil bt cheaper but not that much if you get into you will see. pb is good!

**flatlander_14** · August 3rd, 02:43 PM

the mgt wasnt out yet, the savage 21 was just being introduced also. i did this a long time ago. i know a guy who works at the lhs so i can get stuff cheaper now. either way im getting out, paintball isnt as much fun as it used to be.

edit: in the box - electrical tape, a 'husky' brand hex tool(you know, the one with like 7 different sized hex wrenches that flip out so its all in one?), a cheap stanley utility knife, hoppes #9 gun oil, paintbrush to apply the oil, marvel air tool oil, an assortment of regular allen wrenches, a psychoballistics orange pull through squeegie, a roll of camo tape, half empty container of vaseline, bag of orthodontic rubber bands(use for trigger mods and stuff), a couple irregular sized orings, some tank orings, a load of empire stickers, and a crown royal bottle cover.

**Tinker** · August 3rd, 02:51 PM

you smash.....my dreams

**matt9119** · August 3rd, 02:54 PM
