Hi there people.
Just to let you know that there is a national paintball tournament happening in Palmy Queens Bday weekend (sat and sun).
Its being held at Aces High Paintball on Flygers Line.

It will be well worth a look if you would like to see this fast growing sport at its best. This is NZ's newest airball feild, and the venue is fantastic!

Come have a look.
Ill be there either way with my team kicking some ass :2guns:

The feild is fully netted so you can stand right next to the action in complete saftey and see and hear everything that is going on.

Hope to see you there! :Punk:

Na mate, Totally free to spectate.
Come along. Im playing in the team called Assassins in Division 1.
I now have to work on Saturday as one of my staff members now tells me they cant work :doh:, so ill be up there Saturday afternoon and Sunday.

By the looks of things id dress warm! :confused:

If you have any questions on what gear etc chuck me a pm. Always happy to get more people into the fast growing sport. Its awsome fun!
If you havnt seen Speedball up close this will open you eyes to how fast paced it is.

Hope to see you there.

Thats sort of thing pisses me off big time!
People buy cheap shitty paintball guns on tardme or at their local sports shop and go do stupid shit with them.

Not good for our cause at all!:no:

paintball rocks! played it only once, but easily the most fun ive ever had with a "gun" lol. ended up with a nice row of bruses on both thighs [shot from the same guy at the same time] and also a couple on the boobs. my boss [was a work thing] got shot in the back of the head by his own son, lol.

You would be surprised. Theres a 5man series which happens up there once a month. I think it might be between series at the moment, but ill let you know once it starts up again. :Punk:
Ive played with that bunch a bit before. Very nice and friendly bunch.

good work. I was too soft to go all the way down there to watch.
Me and a friend have bought markers - I have a spyder, should be into it pretty soon.
