Dear Diary, twas the eve of Origin #2 and I tried something different. I actually did all my pre-tournament stuff early and got to go to sleep at 10pm instead of 1am. The alarm sounded off at 3am and up and out the door to pick up Casey I went. We got to ASG 1 hour early. Better than last time when Casey forgot to set his alarm clock and we were an hour late. The field took a while to set up but everything was going smoothly and it was going to be a good day. UNTIL EVERYTHING WENT TO SHIT. From out of nowhere, the field owner started screaming, “Get him off my field! Get him off my field!” What the hell was he talking about? I was soon to find … Read entire article »

Dear Diary, Getting to do the AFPL 10-man event at CP was a blast. It was a really relaxed tournament for me, seeing as I was really only there to shoot Zombie Unicorn Attack. There was a lot of waiting around in the morning for me. I usually get up for tournaments around 7am so I can make it to the park at 7:15. This tourney was a little different. I got to sleep in, and doze a little in the truck on the way there. Diary, one bit of advice… don’t try to stick six people and their paintball gear, and one person and his photography gear in one truck. It’s heavy, and there’s a significant roll hazard. When we got to the park, we set … Read entire article »

April 22, 2012 Dear Diary, this was our factory team GOGO13 2nd tourney tester. It was only a high school tournament but it was a good learning experience for the boys. A little background on the kids we took a group of 14-15yr olds and trained them with GNAR KILL a d3 team for the past 5 months. These kids have learned a lot but still need work. The tournament actually started relatively on time and of course we were put in the toughest bracket. The first match was against SD Reign (AF Sponsored) kid’s team. That was a hard draw but we went with it. GOGO came out gunning taking the first point, losing the 2nd but pushed hard and took the 3rd winning the match. A lot dropped jaws … Read entire article »

March 24, 2012 Dear Diary, been waiting to go to Mexico for a while now since I’ve been banned from entering the country by my in-laws. I was granted a pass to go but was escorted by my Aunt Patty and Cousin Paul. It all started at the E St. trolley depot waiting for Tone of the mighty Gnar Kill. Of course he was late I had watch 2 trolley pass by before he got there. It was sorta quick ride to the border and cool ride through TJ and we reach a baseball stadium. Through gates and down the stairs a magnificent sight two X-Ball fields set up in the outfield. We cruised through the vendor booths and talked to some of the vendors then hit the pit areas. It was … Read entire article »

Dear Diary, The 2012 NPPL season started off with a blast here at Huntington Beach, California, and this was probably one of my favorite NPPL events. John couldn’t make it up due to vehicular issues, so I was point-man for Almost Famous. Nick Reid came over on Thursday night (technically Friday morning,) and we crashed here in Chino for the weekend. When I woke on Friday morning, I had to kick Nick and my brother out of bed and push them out the door to somehow make it to shoot my teams on time. I made it, and was able to shoot my teams without a hitch. Friday weather was a bit overcast, and I had to leave before it got sunny. There were some light sprinkles of rain on Saturday morning, but … Read entire article »

Dear Diary today is the 1st Blitz Regional Paintball League event at SC Village. I was really on the fence about going but I had to go support the sister league of our very own AFPL. The main reason for my apprehension was what weather guy and his predictions of massive weather front that was hitting the area with non-stop rain and mayhem. I just said FUCK IT and Casey and I were off to SC Village ready to do battle with the weather. When we got there it was a totally different story. It was partly cloudy and sunny, F you Mr. Weatherman. It was great to see all the pump boys working it on the half sized fields creating havoc and scaring children. I take my hat off to … Read entire article »
