Photo TR: Paintball at SCP

Today, I went with a church youth group to the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds to go paintballing. Before I bring on the pictures, here's my written trip review portion. First off, the field consists of 5 speed ball fields, in which we only played 2 of them. The fields are nice and the head guy is really cool but the rest of the staff is just...um yea...lazy and careless, or extremely strict and stubborn. You can kinda say that this is the Six Flags of paintball fields: Potential but poorly ran. My first rant was that it took us a whole whopping hour for our intermediate player group to get started as the ref was too lazy to direct us to the field. Also, they took forever to refill the CO2 tanks as they had to swap. Our ref was extremely strict as far as ball velocity goes. Over half of the players were kicked off the field to re-chronograph (Measure/adjust fire speed.) Second rant was that our MVP player was called out from an old paint mark from 5 games before. (You'll see him later:)) Otherwise, besides those kinks, everything went great. Part of the group went into the beginner (rental guns only) and the rest of us into intermediate (Self equipped players). So, enough blabber and onto the photos!

The whole group! I'm on the left wearing the grey shirt holding the gun up to my friend Ivan's head.(well, right side of group)

So, what flavor is this? Paint flavor! I was spitting green for 10 minutes after

Video of the Surrender Spree...ref calls him out due to a 5-game old splat.

Uh-Oh...Mike's one crazy guy...he goes on a mad-man suicide run! (See video below)

Uh...this ain't good! CO2 O-ring broke on me...I'm replacing it on the field.

3-man dorito meeting! (Me, my friend Mike, and fellow team mate)

See? He did get pwned! Actually, it's his team mate and the angle of the shot looks like a headshot.

My brother waiting to pwn someone...or get pwned himself!

Here I am, running to take cover at the 'dorito' bunker!

Youth Group leader, Ron, takes cover and already knows what to do!

Who says girls can't 'ball? (More of the youth group)

Not bad for newbs...er beginners. This was part of the youth group...they have never played.

PWN3D!!! This was my first game of the day and I was gogged within the first minute of gameplay.

cool! i love paintballing! looks like you had fun!

Tippman's should never be allowed on speedball fields.

Haha 98 Customs! I have a silver 98 custom with a flatline, double trigger, Evo II loader, and a drop forward and it freeking ownz at speed ball fields. Do they have woods ball there at all? I'm not a HUGE fan of woods ball at all, Im a hyper/speed ball person. Glad you all had fun!
