Paint Ball is teh bombzorz.
Best fun you can have with your clothes on. Yes, they give you jump-suits to wear. A word to the wise - wear a cup and gloves. Getting shot in the crotch and on the fingers is more painfull than you can imagine. Getting shot in the neck sucks too, but the fingers or groin is worse.

I copped a shot square in the mouth... managed to give me a nice fat lip even through the mask and filled my mouth with lovely warm vegatable paint.... talk about a money shot.

It tastes like dishwashing liquid I reckon.

Try getting shot in the back of the head where there is no protection. Nice bump to remind you for the next couple of days.
Its the one that don't pop on impact that hurts the most. Thats what I reckon anyways. I copped a couple on my ribs that didn't explode and boy did they leave some nice green/blue/orange bruises.

The worst ones actually break the skin though... i got my mate in a speed ball type match about 5 times up the back practically parallel to his spine from about 2 metres. Gun barrel fit nicely through a sneaky little hole meaning he had no idea where it was coming from

best
fun
ever.
and yes, gloves are a good idea - I only got shot 3 times in total (i got skilz), and the 2 in the fingers (plus getting finger caught in the trigger guard after a dive) were the worst pain suffered on the day

You guys have seriously got to stop running away!
I've only been about 5 or so times but love it. I've done a lot of things in my life, but I still think adrenaline is the best drug. Knowing you're outnumbered and you have to make a run for the flag/base gets the adrenaline really pumping, you won't believe how fast you can run, dive, crawl etc. If it didn't hurt so much, it wouldn't be anywhere near as fun!

Listen to the man. I went to action paintball for my 18th during the day...best fun ever 
Buy a cup, it'll be the best investment you'll ever make  A mate and i had a mexican stand off coz we had 30 each left, and hit him straight in the cup 
Also, get at LEAST 800 paintballs coz 600 wont last, especially if you're trigger happy

most of the time there is an age limit, due to the fact that ur shooting projectiles at each other that can do major damage...
all paint ball places i have heard of ( NSW neway ) u have to b 18 to go out on the course,
do i hear a toymods paintball event on the 2005 calander?? :D:D

in NSW you have to be 18, and when i went it was $140 + $7 for the cup. So $147 for everything including 800 paintballs. They threw on a bbq 1/2 way through
Well worth it tho, cant wait to go angain.
Nolan - Toymods had a paintball day, but i'd be interested in going so can someone organise

i went with a mate for his bucks party sorta thing, i was best man so we both had to do the run down the line of ppl with guns, fukin got owned.
if you go to action paint ball, they have the speed adjusters on the back that requires an allen key, well the guns with the remote mount canister do anyway. you adjust it so it busts the paint balls in the barrel, then you back it off just enough so it doesnt
best paintball is yaramundi, second best is action IMO.

Paintball is awesome fun! I went in January the day after I went in Fatz Drift Day. Half-way through the day I looked around and thought to myself "am I not normal, where are all the other girls?!" two days spent doing stuff that it seems only guys do!
Was hurting sooo much the next day, not from being hit but my legs were aching from all the running and charging up the hills. My brothers are twins so at the end of the day the instructor gave them 100 paintballs each made them take 10 paces and then shoot the crap out of each other, was soooo funny! They were covered in welts and bruises.

i had to play with a knee brace (coz of a previous injury) and i hadnt run in around 12months and my legs werent doing that badly.
Snowboarding for 3 days straight (8hours/day) after a long break is crazy Awesome sport to do nonetheless

Oh don't get me started on how awesome snowboarding is!
Snowboarding is about 4 main things.
Staying in cheap shitty lodges in Jindabyne:
Subsisting off beer, beans and mince:
Ripping it up on the snowfields:
Then bragging about how far you jumped:
Repeat this process every day until you run out of money and are forced to drive home.

LOL so true! One time when I got severe snowboarding cravings I did a cannonball run down to Jindabyne by myself early on a Saturday morning (5 hour drive no stops) went snowboarding all day, stayed in a cheap dodgy hotel Saturday night(it had a bed and shower thats all I cared about) then went snowboarding all day Sunday and drove home again. The drive home was soooooo bad, my leg kept cramping up and it was so hard trying to stay awake so I eventually had to pull off the highway at Goulburn for a quick Maccas stop and then continued all the way home.
I look forward to Winter every year

you also wanna make sure that you're up against people you may be holding a tiny secret grudge against so you can shoot them and cause them pain but it's all in the name of the game.
i went to deep creek or dry creek whatever the heck it is called and it was soooooo hot. i swear the paintballs were melting before we could even shoot them. tried indoor paintballing but it was pretty crap, nothing like army crawling around in the dirt and long grass
