Good or Bad idea?

[dethstyl]

Alright, I let my mom shoot me today because she was curious about my equipment, so of course they obvious thing to do is not shoot targets but her son, and now she asked me if she could play w/ me some time.

Now here is how I see it:

Pro: Free paint, field, air costs.:)

Con: It's my mom, playing paintball, with me.:(

So what do you think?

[MunkyFuzz]

THink of it this way. When you start talking about paintball she won't give you that look like "what the smurf are you talking about?"

[Brock]

It all depends on the coolness level of your mom. My dad plays every now and then, and its pretty cool, but my dads pretty cool though too. It all depends on the coolness level of your mom. But seriously, think about it: FREE PAINT.

So what do you think? pfft..I would take that offer in the pro section the second I heard it..I wouldnt exactly care if my mom played,it wouldnt really change my day or my playing..I'd definetally if you get free stuff :)

[nerdcore]

she wants to play paintball. how much cooler do you expect your mom to get?

and, honestly, if i saw your mom pb'ing at the field right beside you, i wouldn't give it a second thought.

[AJcool]

pssshh what a loser, paintballing with his mom, what are you? 4? [/sarcasm]

[Theoman]

well if your young and callow and your mom sees some one get injured or play with out safety regulations or your mom gets hurt playing she might want u out of the sport so i say dunt risk it but hey man its all u

[nerdcore]

i'd imagine giving birth hurts a lot more than getting hit with a paintball. your mom can take it. and play at legit fields - she'll be more comfortable with all the rules & regulations.

Actually I'm 16 Mr. Sarcasm, also I figure if I do let her play she will not play most of the rounds 'cause she is old and will get tired, so I'll get most of the paint!, and hey about the hurting part, she was the one laughing and shooting me while I was trying to see if the ball broke on my arm behind a tree.

[sIc]

Maybe you should have her start by playing with just you and your friends, see how she is. I would never let my mom play with me, then again, theres no way she ever would.

[tippmann1223]

my mom kinda hates paintball. it suks. im trying to get my dad to play i think he will. i could just imagine him playing paintball.

[thepeashooter]

First off, sIc your avatar rocks.


this jus reminds me of the time when my friends mom came paintballing with us. We were playing woods and it ended up her being the last one left because she got scared and sat curled up with her gun at her side at the very first bunker she could find.

[pbhippie ben]

Free paint!!!!!!! Let her play.

I don't think my mom would puss out b4 she gave it a chance, she actual volunteered to let me shoot her today, but somehow I didn't feel right shooting my mom in a non-game situation.

[CzarAlex]

Let her play. There was a mom who went with her son last time i was at the field. She did rather well actually. Carefully lined up her shots, stayed hidden, didn't make a lot of noise when she moved around..
okay okay..fine. I'll admit it. She gogged me one round.

[LAMANTEthePBguy]

As long as she doesnt lick her finger and try to rub paint off your face, id do it. I mean come on. Free paint.

[dethstyl]

whoa Czar a big dude like you, hopefully it didn't hurt yur pride, pride is temporary, its scary you look like my brother-in-law dude, freaking scary.

[El Kabong]

At least give it a chance. Invite her to come with you some time. It sounds like you have one of those cool moms that would be actually allright to have around at the field. Plus she will buy you paint and understand the sport, and that might be infinitely helpful in the long run. Just don't let her get better than you. That happened to my friend with his dad, and now we only invite him if his dad is coming too.

[hybrid-sniper]

Let her come, if she likes it all the better for you, someone that doesnt give you the look when you start rambling, and can buy you paint and air and such.

BTW sIc avalanche own the canucks

Go Avalanche

I retract my vote as you being the smartest poster

[SinfulCindy]

If I was your mom and you didn't let me paintball, I'd smack you upside the head and ground you for a month... :D

What's the worse that could happen? You get free paint, air, and admission and it's just your mom playing by your side in paintball. On the field, she's just another player (unless if she follows you around everywhere because she wants to protect you, then that's annoying.) I'd love it if my mom would paintball, but she's too scared... The dad's a total arsehole, so bleh there. I think it's a good idea for your mom to try out paintball with you. Gives you more time to bond and she'll see why you like the sport so much. Go for it.

My friend at school plays for Avalanche 2, the amateur team... Yeah... :|

[cockerpunk69]

If you let ur mom shoot you she can use it to embarress you in front of your friends.

My friend let his mom shoot us so she decided to have no soul and shoot me in the balls. Now she always makes fun of me. :|

you like 3 of my 4 most hated teams
1-Detroit
2-Colorado
3-New York
4-Toronto

[hybrid-sniper]

haha i agree New york :tdown: over payed and they don't perform, and the islanders just plain suck.
leafs i like because they're the closest team to me, red wings, cause they were a kick*ss team before they got all hasek and joseph.
and the avs are just plain awesome, you kno beating Vancouver out of their division title 9 years in a row:P
but yea Canucks are a great team, Bertuzzi is one of the best players out there IMO next to joe sakic

[paintballer42o]

dude, FREE STUFF!!

[punkerx1]

i once saw a paintball mom..she was hot:eek:

just make sure she is on the other team, then you can light her up :tup:

:laugh:

If the avalanche win the stanley ill give you my gun. (whatever i have at that time) Thats how depressed ill be.

Anybody but the avalanche.

[Christian-PB-er]

there is two reasons y u should let her play with u.

a. the "pro" of the free paint, air, and field costs, WAAAAY out-wieghs the "con" of ur mom cuming.
b. no one will know, or care that ur mom is playing. if anything i would be impressed that ur mom was into paintball.

and judging by the pole #'s id say that most other ppl say that 2. so take ur mom paintballin, get FREE paint, FREE air, and FREE field fee. not such a bad sittuation.:cool:

[the other one]

Canucks own. and i say that as a US citizen. (of course, they're the nearest hockey team to me within 4 states.:rolleyes: )

[Six Feet Under]

My Dad played paintball with me before and he owned in speedball so I'm thinking maybe my Mom and step-Dad would be able to play too? I'd say go for it because it wouldn't cost as much if your Mom paid for everything and you could actually talk about paintball around her without her thinking "BARREL CONDOM! Why in the hell is it called a condom?!" when you mention you'd like a new one with a Smart Parts girl on it:P.

[[Infusion]BigC]

In vietnam, GIs used condoms to keep dirt outa their barrels.

Maybe that has something to do with it...

[pb_fool]

Your mom wants to play? That would be great!!! I am thrilled my mom is going to watch me play in a tournament.

[PILMAN]

Put it this way, my mother playing paintball= no chance in a few lifetimes even if she was paid to play. Sounds cool, at least you have a parent that's interested. My dad was interested in playing but he's passed away unfortunately.

[Last_1_Standing]

You bet let your mom play... i'm a mom and actually i'm a grandmother and I play... we get together with the neighbor kids and play woods ball... we pick poker chips out of a can so we can't "load" a team... you never know who you will be shooting... my son and 14 year old grandson love that my husband and i play.. my grandson brags to his friends in school that i play and he tells them that he would rather be on my team as I'm usually the "Last 1 Standing" because I'm good... not because I stay hidden and don't play... So be cool and let her have some fun too... you won't regret it

[ShadowWalker]

My mom has played twice and my dad was playing since around the time I was born or a little before (I'm 15). They understand it's something I like and enjoy playing. It's the only sport i play. Just recently I asked my mom if I tried out for a team if she'd help me out with rides and some of the first expenses (jersey, maybe new spikes, paint for try-outs) and she said ok. I don't know that she would have said that had she not played before.

No... No, I don't... :sulk:

[Bellator_Fortus]

Dethstyl, your avatar is scary.

Now, if you're gonna let your mom play, then make sure you're both on the same team. Shooting your mom is not nice, and her shooting you could ruin your pride for the next 20 or 30 years.

[ShadowWalker]

i shot my mom in the back 3 times and there aren't any hard feelings, lol. It was a private game and she was on my team all day except that game and forgot. funny stuff.

And hey let's not forget who was all up and ready to shoot at me! I guess I might feel bad shooting at her, I think I'll play on the same team unless she starts trying to protect me and not focusing or something.
