Rastafari,

[PouringPaintOn]

OH SNAP! did anyone see the Rasta 5peeds Bob is getting?! Sick sick sick! The only thing I wanna know is how much are they gonna be?

[shaq787]

do you have a link to them? or a pic that you can post?

[PouringPaintOn]

Yeah forgot about that, but Bob made a thread in the MT forum about it.

[El Pirata]

Not that they look bad but they don't look all that special either. It's just a few colors in the ano and buds on them too.

I think the current word is "Trendy"

[PouringPaintOn]

What's your idea of special? I just want to know what I have to do to my gun to make your head turn hahahahaha

[El Pirata]

That would not make my head turn. The realtree camo anodized speed 05 would make my head turn. I hate to say it but the rasta is only a fade and that's it. There are thousands of fades out there so another one does not impress me. Why else do you think they are getting away from splash anodizing, it's getting old and looking cheesy. Fades will be there soon enough.

[IwanaANGEL]

looks nice but i'd rather get a solid color

[PouringPaintOn]

True, I think camo is getting played out too though. Maybe an urban camo or desert camo would make my head turn. I also agree about this gun, it looks nice but it reminds me of the rasta fly too much and I can basically get that done to my angel except without the marajuana leaves on it.

Btw, did you see the "Scarface" DM5? It's like anno'd 1/3 white and the rest black but where the black meets the white Al Pacino is kind of shillouette'd in there, like on the Scarface movie poster. It was pretty slick and original seeing as I have never seen or even thought of doing that.

[El Pirata]

The only reason I liked the camo one was because I have seen dozens of camo markers over the years but they were either spray paint or camo tape. This was the first anodized camo one I had seen. I do agree camo is losing it's flair in paintball, well at least in the tourny scene. I was scoping out the maxano gallery and there are some pretty original ideas for ano there. That'll probably be the next thing that everyone wants done to their markers. Who knows, 10 years from now maybe it will come full circle and everyone will want a solid color again.

[PouringPaintOn]

Here's that DM5 I was talking about.

[El Pirata]

That freaking rocks. Way way better than the Rasta look.

[PouringPaintOn]

Yeah becuase from far away people will be like, "Wtf is that?! Somebody got a crappy anno fade job!" Then when they come closer, they'll see exactly how awesome that anno is.

[El Pirata]

I got the gears turning in my head of a cool ano I could have done to my speed.... Hmmm, logo, definately...

[PouringPaintOn]

Yeah, I always wanted to get an anno no one else had. I was about to get my speed anno'd like it was stained with blood then some viking owner gets his viking anno'd like that and names it the "mob hit" damn idea stealer.

[speeduser]

oh my god! i love that Scarface anno. I base my life on scarface and i think that is the coolest thing EVER!!!

[PouringPaintOn]

oh my god! i love that Scarface anno. I base my life on scarface and i think that is the coolest thing EVER!!!

So you're a paranoid Cuban drug lord? hahahaha

[Studmuffin]

that scarface anno looks like someone did it in photoshop...looks good though

[Pr0jekt Fly'd]

i wish i was informed about the Rasta, or I wouldnt have gotten mine RIGHT when the 05 came out...Anyone wanna trade rasta for dust black? lol

[speeduser]

yea, i just got my 05 not even a week ago. And PouringPaintOn, I am a mexican drug lord.

[Ronin Samurai]

hmmmmm,, that is a frikin awesome speed. they should make triple fades in other colors schemes. like blue, red and white,: blue, red, and black, and germany's flag colors would make awesome fade.

[PouringPaintOn]

Yeah but if they made Germany you know some crazy people are gonna scream "Fascists!" and say WDP are Nazi's.

[El Pirata]

Ok then put a real drug lord color on there and use the Yellow, Blue and Red colors of the Colombian flag.

[PouringPaintOn]

Or just get your gun anno'd "cocaine" white hahahahahhaha ...

[El Pirata]

Actually before it's cut at all it has a slight yellow tint.

[PouringPaintOn]

Whoa ...somebody is giving themselves away. :shocked:

I keed I keed.

[El Pirata]

Nope, spent 6 years in Panama and some of it was drug interdiction.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Nope, spent 6 years in Panama and some of it was drug interdiction.

The real tragedy is that being south of the border is the only way to ever see it uncut.

[fallen_angel_05]

So you're a paranoid Cuban drug lord? hahahaha

and whats wrong with being a paranoid cuban drug lord you cock--aroach

[Morginie]

Great, a week after I order my red speed I find out about the fades, now I find out about the rasta...

[gc82000]

I would rather have a solid color then a rasta fade or can we get a rasta w/out the leaves?

[PouringPaintOn]

and whats wrong with being a paranoid cuban drug lord you cock--aroach

I never said there was anything wrong with it Dick .............Cheney.

[ZoomZoom]

ya the pot leaves kinda suck its a big turn off to the parents of new player when they bring there kids out to the field and see guys running around with mary jane all up on there guns they all going to think were a bunch of druggies

[PouringPaintOn]

Yeah but in the religion of Rastafari you are allowed to smoke pot. So maybe you can just play it off like you're a Rastafari believer or whatever hahahaha. Well, atleast it isn't syringes filled with heroin or a pipe with a crack rock in it lol

[ZoomZoom]

i dont think some of the uptight pepole in this world realy care if its in you religion to smoke pot if that were the case parents realy wouldnt want there kids around it

i know and you know it means no harm to put the pot leaves on the gun cause its all for show

maybe if i go to jamaca to play a lil paintball ill look into one then i would be a god lol (in jamaca that is)

[Certimus]

its funny how everyone thinks its cool to show off that you smoke bud by buying a paintball gun with buds on it. lmao u should just sprey paint a bong on the back of ur jersey, it will make you shoot faster^ rofl

[PouringPaintOn]

I don't think everyone who gets one is neccessarily saying that they smoke pot, I think they just like it cuz it has a tri fade and an original stamping on it. While other guns have nothing and are just plain. Some people will buy anything just because it means they'll have it and the masses won't.

[pballer2]

i want to get like a custom anno done like they do to the cars in Underground 2

i dont think that either but the lil kids that look up to you might and that would be a bad thing

i but one speedball camps with the rest of my team what would the parents think if we walked out on the field sporting pot

[PouringPaintOn]

Probably the same thing they think about the "Stoned Assassins" and the "Porn Kings" and so on and so forth. It's like football, sure it's for everyone even kids play it, that doesn't mean that the NFL won't allow swearing and that kind of stuff because they don't want parents to think that football will make their kids swear. It's a part of the game, if they really have a problem with it they should take it up with WDP the people who made the gun, not the customers who bought it.

But I know what you mean about it, it's not very "parent friendly".

[Lee Van Cleef]

most parents have tried weed at this point anyway
unless they are total squares
which they might be
anyway why would you give two §§§§s what little kids parent's think? having trouble forming a young gunz team?
this country is too damn puritanical
we need to legalize it

wtf i love the sport of paintball and the lil kids are the future of the sport i want ot see the sport grow..........my question for you is do you realy care about what happens to the sport of paintball im guessing not

[WDP ir3 2k3]

no.

[Lee Van Cleef]

Caring about the sport of paintball got nothing to do with it son. If you mean do I care if paintball is widely accepted by the Flanders family no I don't.
I care about making the X off the break. I care about bunkering 3 oppos before I get lit up. I care about playing the snake. I care about my paint to barrel match. I care about playing hard and fair.
I don't care what some kid's parents think. I don't care what you think. In fact I think they should keep kids and adults separate. Like a bar. I'm an adult. I'm not here to play role model. I'm here to have a good time, not infringe upon anybody else's good time and I expect the same.

"the future of the sport" pfft. Believe me they'll be begging their parents for a timmy and rides to the field and a silly played out tatoo on a marker won't keep em from getting it. Whether they are rednecks or spoiled suburban brats they will be strapping an on hk headband and lighting us up someday. so forget the speech its been heard since paint was oil based and paintball will keep growin'.

well for that i am sorry i guess i stand corrected hell when the kid next door comes over and ask me to teach him the fine art of bunkering ill just say NO cause i need to go spark up another.......(but i will tell him to play hard and fair while blowing a cloud of haze into his face)

and as far as parents go ill just tell my 7 year old its ok to play with the pot smokers and druggies there to messed up to shoot ya any ways (i do speak for the parents i am one)

this is the problem with the world today no hart dont care for any one just looking out for number one (but thats up to you ill keep caring)

im sure your rite its all been said and im sure the sport will have no problems going on its just going to get a bad rap and i dont want my son to be considdered one of those guys cause we as the pioneers of paintball screwed it up (i remember the days of old ive been playing since the late 80's) time changes every thing

[PouringPaintOn]

Well ....you can always say it's a Canadian maple leaf hahahahaha

[Lee Van Cleef]

I think you're missing the point.

1.-I've never played paintball high in my entire life.

2.-Blowing pot in some little kids face is a very bad idea. Smoking outside the privacy of your home is too. Unless you like jail never expose other people's children to drugs or alcohol.

3.-There are alot worse things in the world than pot. Alcohol and religion for instance.

4.-Theres nothing wrong with teaching or coaching kids in an organized sport. Keep the pot away from the field and the kids. A leaf on your marker doesn't count as pot.

5.- 7 year old kids shouldn't be playing paintball with adults. Keep the little kids and adults separate. They do for tournaments why not walk-ons?

6. I never said not to care about anybody else. By definition playing hard and fair directly addresses that one dude.

7. It doesn't matter what "rap" paintball gets. It already has its rap. Its a sport, and plenty of people may find it awful, violent, stupid, warlike, or boring, just as many other sports are thought of in this manner. It won't stop anybody from playing, ever.

Why should your personal feelings against pot extend to my living room? Get the hell out of my house man! I don't tell you don't have a beer, the kids may see it and it'll ruin paintball. Get over it.
So pick up a pump, an angel, or your other weapon of choice, take your son to the field (when he's 10) and have a good time!
Sports and Recreation should be fun.

[jerseyballer15]

its just a bud, is a 7 yr old really gonna know what it means?

[ZoomZoom]

its just a bud, is a 7 yr old really gonna know what it means?
dont want to find out

Lee this is getting stupid, your rite you can do any thing in your house that you feel.......and no my 7 year old dosnt play paintball yet i wont let him (he is realy pissed about that but the magic age is 10). we both have alot of good points they just got crossed so as a fellow baller its dropped, you do your own thing in your home and so will i

[Lee Van Cleef]

yeah good disscussion man
good luck with your son's future paintballin' career
he's lucky his old man plays ball
he'll never get told his pastime is lame

[PouringPaintOn]

Hey Lee ...do you know who Bas Rutten is?

[gc82000]

Hey Lee ...do you know who Bas Rutten is?
The old UFC champ?? is that who you are asking about. what of him?

[Lee Van Cleef]

Hey Lee ...do you know who Bas Rutten is?

no but I hope the answer to that is amusing

[masterdebater]

I like that, i bought my pink speed 05 though. i like it. its not out of the ordinary its just like all the other sppeds but wit pink

rasta looks nice. but i have to agree "trendy" would be the current word

[PouringPaintOn]

The old UFC champ?? is that who you are asking about. what of him?

I was just wondering cuz Lee's sig has "El Guapo" in it. That's Bas Rutten's nickname. So you watch UFC huh? Paintball+UFC=awesome extreme sports.

no but I hope the answer to that is amusing

Yeah his nickname is El Guapo.

[speeduser]

Paintball+UFC=awesome extreme sports.
that would be a bad idea in my opinion.

[PouringPaintOn]

that would be a bad idea in my opinion.

No no, I didn't mean they should be together, I just think both of them are great extreme sports. I myself am a fighter, but I have recently gotten into paintball because I need to blow some adrenaline in between fights, and paintball is great.

[maybachgt]

I agree. I started paintball for the same reason. But I got hooked. After playing rec ball for 2 years I switched to tournaments
