I love paintball. There's this place just outside of my city called paintball paradise, and there are a ton of WWII mock battlefields, and we get a bunch of people together and go play on them. so much fun, I'd have to say it's one of my hobbies.

Always wanted to do the paintball, but haven't yet. A few friends keep bugging me, so I might have to.

Do you own your own guns? What's a decent one to get say for under $200?

I'm told there's paint grenades too?

Tippman Model 98 is probably the best for under $200. Although, Kingman makes a few good models for under $150 for the casual player... Make sure the paintball you use is a good fit for the barrel on your marker...

Oh, and only woods for me. Indoor speedball requires too much energy...

Oh, yeah. My hobbies:

*Downhill mountain biking (gotta wait for the snow to melt on the ski slopes)
*Pool (sometimes referred to as billiards...)
*Paintball (duh)

Mountain biking. After a seperated shoulder, two broken bones in the same hand, and over $2,000 in medical bills(plus the $1,000 bike), I figured it to be too expensive for me and have since stopped. It's all fun and games until you play plinko against 3 or 4 trees with your upper body.

I have a couple grand in comic books from my younger days, waiting another 20 years then sell them(I have Wolverine number 1 through 120-ish, minus number 10). Sold my baseball card collection long ago, yet baseball is still my # 1 sport(I play fantasy online).

Of course computers, I build my own.

My favorite hobby is home stereo and home theater. I am constantly upgrading my current gear, having demoes of possible new equipment, etc. My new mains should be in tomorrow, but if they are at the local hub tonight, I will make a trip and pick them up tonight.

Tip: DO NOT BUY BOSE. All you are buying is a large marketing budget.

I'm paying now for crazy stunts I did in my younger days.
Now it's sit in front of a monitor and pretend.

Ok thanks, will look into it.

Miles of woods all around me, so no problem there. Trouble is some dummy built a house directly behind my property about 1/2 mile back, so now I can't shoot my guns on my own property!

Tippman 98 Custom. Best beginner's paintball gun. Hell, I think it's the best for anyone.

That's pretty neat. Do you play classical at all? I think being able to play classical is a feat. A guy at work has a Roland Altier and made his own Christmas music this year; quite impressive. My mother is musically inclined and plays piano/organ. She wanted me to follow but if it didn't have wheels and an engine, I wasn't interested..

I built the 70 Cuda in the pic from the ground up. I had someone else paint it. I wanted it Hemi orange, but my wife likes purple, so Plum Crazy it became (anything to make her like it hehe).
