year, and have now moved up a few divisions
and are looking to get a proper crack at it this
year.
Describe a typical team practice?
In the past we’ve just gone down the pub. But
our first real practise is in a couple of weeks
where we’ve got NickyT of Planet Eclipse
coming down to coach us, so I’ll let you know
how it goes!
What is paintball like in your region?
Awesome. There are so many tournaments
and fields within such a relative short distance, you could almost play every weekend
and not have to drive more than 3 hours to
each event. It’s the same with scenarios.
Have you ever played in one of the big
scenario events like D-Day?
We sent a crew over to D-Day for ‘09 and ‘11
which was an amazing experience, and we’ve
also played loads of national level events
across Europe.
What is your favorite event of the year?
It varies from year to year. Last year it would
have to be The Fort run by Shoreline over in
France. A giant medieval fort with a moat,
tunnels and woodland, combined with
scorching hot weather and surrounded by
mates. Perfect. This year we’re off to play in
a fully functioning theme park so i think the
crown might shift.
sense of satisfaction coming off the field with
a couple g’s and knowing that you made a
serious contribution to the win.
What’s the furthest you’ve traveled individually or as a team to play paintball?
It’d have to be the 4500+ miles to Oklahoma
D-Day, but it’d be nice to break that record
one day with a trip to Asia or the west coast.
What do you like about woodsball/scenario/milsim do you like in comparison
to speedball/tournament paintball?
I love the relaxed nature of scenario ball, the
ability to drop in and out of play over the
whole weekend, and spend a lot of time socialising with mates. Scenario is what you
make of it, you can go balls hardcore out all
weekend, or you can chill, totally up to you.
But i love the competition and adrenaline side
of tournament ball. Nothing gives you a better
