This thread is inspired by FPE. Also brought to you by Paulie, because he questioned my limited rounds game.

Paul didn’t believe that I could hack the 40rnd limit imposed by the OSC. I told him to shut his mouth and eat his B-Dub wings. Just sit back ladies and germs and let me tell you a story. A story so epic and full of twist and turns, that if you have dial- up, turn back now. No seriously, GTFO. The losers gone? Good…

I’ll be your guide. A true baller that plays in Vans, JT, and Hawaiian shirts...

I wasn’t always that cool though. Just a kid with a Phantom and a Dream…


One upon a time, at a field close to you there was a group of pumpers. They played serious ball, they played for a challenge; they played because they loved the game. The time they spent on the field was pure awesome. Way before you Paulie, when paintball was still a gleam in your eye, Xtreme was known, not just for pump, but STOCK CLASS. That’s right, the famous people you know and love use to rock the field with 12g, 10rnd tubes, and HEART.

Look at the Epic snake on the X-ball field!

We had a HUGE carwarsh! Glenn & Mark love it…


Yes, times were simpler then. Xtreme was the place I met many new friends. Some from the Internet, some from the field. Some things never change…
Shane-o still wore a kilt


Chefdave wore pants, but rocked the SC everything.


Spanky was still a hater…

And Jubes got shot…

And yours truly still rocked the snake from time to time…


But Jay, Tim plays the snake…Oh he was around too…Timmy, always got the pictures…


Then I got in the back where I belong.


Then Xtreme got an X-ball field. Oh yeah!


The first FPE in 06


Look it’s Kent!

You see Paulie, Xtreme has always been pump friendly. Pump is fun, esp. with stick feeds, in the woods or on the airball field. AT and hoppers are cool, but know your roots son!


I reserve the right to add more to this post as I see fit. Also, feel free to add you own “old school” photos and memories of yesteryear.

This post Chefdave Drawers approved…


Jay

DAMNIT! I was afraid that damn pic would show up...thought I was safe right up until the end.

Amazing the amount of SC guns in those pics...a rare sight at Xtreme these days. :rolleyes:

Good post Jay. B)

Edit: I JUST realized that Timmy was the guy that shot me with his PGP in the snake at that FPE.

:lol: :lol:

I'm trying to inspire people to play with a stick feed every once in a while. B)

I HIGHLY encourage it this weekend. :bang:

Jay

I LOVE IT!!!!!!
The PGP is definately getting some reps this weekend, and I may just rock some camo :blink: . There's no pics of it, but the first FPE, besides the pgp, I was shooting a Kingman Hammer. I was a Nelson guy at one time (my first gun ever was a Trracer). See you all tomorrow...

Scotty loved the Bruins lefty

5th picture down........THATS ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AJ: told you I used to play stock-class. told you I used to wear red/black Dye gear from head to toe......no jersey that day as it was HOT!

JSpud: you make me want to order another vsc and harness........I miss SC so bad........seriously.


D~

All this and more can be yours if the HEART is right.

Jay

Yep. Back in the day....Before purple.




Then a little later..







Not as old as Jays.. but almost there. ;) Man o man. I was ALOT fatter. lol

STL

Hey D~ i have an SC Ronin harness for ya if you would like to rock it on sat and sunday.

i don't even know what you guys are talking about... all of these gun types i've never seen or even heard of.

it seems like i missed some good times.

Not from Xtreme, but I used to play stock class, too. Tombstone pump event ('00?) with Broken Arrow:



I even played woodsball. Carter Invitational '99 with Team of Honor:

AJ: see how long I have worn that damn beanie cap..........im gonna be lost when it finally dies......... :(

Thirst: thanks but it looks like I will be shooting my S6 as usual.......its my favorite toy.

STL: it was mighty fun back in the day.....i loved that lay down X. do you remember all that jazz........

Hard8: nice man.....I can so see you playin some SC.



After further review........I am ordering another VSC setup. I miss playing rock n cock too much. I also miss Jubes yelling "LOOKOUT DEVIN IS OUT THERE WITH HIS PHANTOM" as I sit on the sidelines having already been shot out. :lol: This all pertains to my old screen name of Ph4n7oM 3.

Looks like I will be shooting another black/purple gun but it wont be a sniper.


D~

Mike, nice add. ;)

Jay

Broken Arrow? With the asian porn star?.............Stinky rules!!!!!

Yeah, Sean joined Arrow just before I did. That Carter event in '99 was his first time playing with Arrow. I remember all the guys on his old team, Yella, talking smack on the field at that event.

I play WoW with Stinky. He's mostly retired from paintball. He played at one of the OSC's this year with Vanida, Glen from paintballgateway, and a couple of other local guys.

Those guys were all fun.

How bout Joe Vu? Any chance him or the 'Fish will be around in SD?

I talked to Joe Vu last week right after I came back from Thailand. He said he wanted to sell off the majority of his gear, but was still considering coming out to play eventually.

I believe Hard Eight will be making an appearance in NPPL SD with LJ, Charlie, and Joe from the original team. Rounding out the last 2 spots will be Hoady (former Hard Eight, moved to Blowfish) and Pom (Blowfish).

I had heard that the Blowfish were planning on making a comeback (again). I'm guessing it's not happening if Hoady, Pom, and Joe Vu aren't playing with them. They had a deep roster and could still pull it, though. Zack, Steve, Aaron, Erik, and Mike A. would make 5.

I've been on and off this team for ten years, Mike, and I think we have been trying to get games with the 'Fish for the whole time.
I hope they can make it.

Is it still ok if we ship our tanks and guns to your store?

College, jobs, marriages, and kids seem to have taken their toll on the Blowfish as much as Hard Eight, and I'm sure plenty of other pump teams around here.

Calling out the Fish on peanut butter nation might help your cause. I can't remember where the rivalry started, pp.org maybe? I remember them getting banned at a couple of message boards.

You can definitely send your gear over to the shop still.

Please send me a heads up so I know when to expect the packages and can make sure the warehouse knows what to do.

Supa: Blowfish played HB this year. (dont know if it was all original members) They looked really......good. I just remember their snake guy. He shot stockclass and seemed not to even aim. He would just hold his gun out in front of him and snap........1 balled every person he did that to. :lol:

For the sake of the rest of us.......please dont call out anymore teams......... :lol:


D~

Im skeered of dem Blowfish guys.. :unsure:

STL

I'm callin out all of 'em.

Thanks Mike, we will be in touch.

Anyone remember when Supa shot a stockgun?

Can't recall the last time I saw that go down. :lol:

he's been talking about it ever since he came back. he's looking for a way to get the stock feed on that 6.

Hey Dave, did you freeze your marbles off on the ride home yesterday? :lol:


STL

Nope. Only had a 20 minute ride into the city.

I'm freezing them off on the ride home today. :o

Supa doesn't believe in stock guns anymore since his SS Sn# 006 was stolen. :(

Jay

Ever seen the serial # on mine? :lol:

I had to get the magic from someone!

No...Whats in a number?

Jay

It was #026.

I will build another stock-gun one day, if only just to shoot Chef Dave.

Besides, making up bullsh!t answers to newbie questions about your gun is classic stuff.

You shot me enough times with the old one.

That's what inspired me to buy a Super Stocker. ;)

Kudo's to you Chef Dave, for keeping the torch. Mr. Palmer builds very nice guns.

I do miss mine. I will build a stock-class gun from a CCM body soon and maybe you could teach me a trick or two.

Stock-gun one-on-one's on the village field. :ph43r: :bang:

I'm pretty good at stylin' the dead box. :lol:

Too much talk......

Oh yeah, I played SC for awhile!

Ummm...where'd the other half of you go? :P
