Review:
My second time going to Fireball Mountain in North Handover, and it was better than the last. First time there, we faced off with some kids with 3 ions, 1 angel, and a Black Magic e-cocker. They were upset that they lost to our team of 3 mech spyders, 1 mech cocker, and 1 e1-cocker. Not to mention it was my team's first time playing speedball.
Second time around, it was much better. The people there were much nicer, and played like they had some sportsmanship in them. We met a few guys that were planning on playing some tournaments nearby, and was ever nice enough to give us a few pointers and tips if we ever decided to play more speedball. These guys were shooting a SL66 Ego in gunmetal color, and a 06 Ego, owned by the same guy. They even complimented us on the way we played, and gave us pointers on some things we need to work on. They could have easily been sore losers, like the guys we played against the first time there, but instead, they were very mature about it. I think they worked there part time. If you guys are reading this, thanks for the good games. If the owner is reading this, these boys should get a raise for their professional sportsmanship.
As for the fields there, we only played on the speedball field. I expected 2 fields there, but the smaller one that we used to play on, was torn down to be rebuilt. The only speedball field there, needed some maintenance, such as weights, and more air. The fill station needed some work, since they only had the 3000 station up, and that wasn't working too well into the day. They ended up replacing the station with another one, and all was well. Wish they had the 4500 up that day though.
For the price, experience, and BYOP, FBM is one of my top choices for fields to play at in or around NJ. If you want to play speedball on a budget, it's the place to go.
