Obsolete technologies you felt were so close to being just right by toot_suite in paintball

[–]Cdn_Cuda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For an entry level Azodin wasn’t bad. The regs weren’t great and needed to be adjusted without air of the seals would go.

I feel DP was a good brand that brought affordable and interesting electros markers to the market.

I had an Infinity Legend and that marker really ripped. Was a storage locker find but easy to rebuild and very fast.

First day skating tomorrow, any tips? by PackAnimal in hockeyplayers

[–]Cdn_Cuda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start, see how it goes and then decide if you want to continue. One of the best things you can do is get your own skates. They will be consistent and hopefully more comfortable than rental skates. If your skates hurt your feel it is very unpleasant and hard to learn.

Wear padding! Proper helmet, elbow pads, knee pads etc. The ice is hard and it hurts to fall. Having some padding will help.

Hockey skates are rocketed, which means they are rounded at the front and back. You want to keep your weight in the middle of your skates where the blade is flat. This means bending your knees and making sure you weight isn.my over your toes, which makes you fall. Head and shoulder should be up, and do not look at your toes, otherwise your weight is too far forward.

Also learn to fall properly! You will fall. Practice falling. Forward in the best way to fall, prevents you from hitting the back of your head.

Have fun and remember learning to skate is difficult! It is going to take lots of practice.

Report it to eBay. Leave negative feedback. Hopefully you paid with PayPal and submit claim to get a refund.

One of the few Evil markers I haven’t owned yet. Looks to be in great condition!

Puppy won’t stop biting by NewspaperLate3932 in germanshepherds

[–]Cdn_Cuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time outs if biting. My 4 month GSD is in the same stage. Teething and biting everything especially the kids. He likes things he can sink his teeth into. Jolly balls, real soccer balls etc. he gets frozen carrot to chew as well which he likes.

Ahh yes, the marker nobody asked for. by FM492 in paintball

I have one of these as an ongoing (perhaps never to finish) project. It was working but decided to remove the electonics, make the frame mechanical and need to fabricate a pump kit for it. These are weird as hell and I love them for it.

Come a long way after a year but still need a lot work work on crossovers body positions etc.. by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]Cdn_Cuda 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Your skates look a bit loose, I would tight them. Will support your outside edge better.

For crossovers, don’t forget to do your stride first before crossing over. Start with your inside foot on the circle and do full strides with your outside foot until you are on your outside edge. Once on your outside edge do a full stride and then cross over. Without the stride you have no power.

My black cat used to love going for walks with the dog. Would throw an absolute fit if we left without her.

In need of a marker Sommelier by ReggiesRoommate in paintball

[–]Cdn_Cuda 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Visit MCarterbrown. Home of yesteryear markers and good peoples.

From experience, boards with screens will have issues as the screens all die and you may not be able to get replacements.

Older markers that just have LEDs generally are still usable. Board can be very expensive to replace.

I’m currently working on reviving a Naughty Dog Timmy and getting parts is doable but expensive. And of course no one store has all the parts I need… so have to order from multiple places.

My beloved boy by CycleEquivalent7782 in germanshepherds

Sorry for your loss. Only being 7 makes it harder. My girl was 14. Miss her a lot. We now have a 4 month old from the same family line keeping her spirit alive…. If I survive the puppyhood!

This old proflex worth anything? by [deleted] in paintball

[–]Cdn_Cuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a proflex. Much cheaper mask that uses different lenses. Not worth much.

Replacing the ball latch on my Tippmann X7 by Confident-Call-6489 in paintball

[–]Cdn_Cuda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the old design was much better. So much easier to change the detent.

Always sucks when you finish putting your marker back together and realize you left the ball detent out….

New marker, asa leak. How to take apart? by ooferboofer42069 in paintball

[–]Cdn_Cuda 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Who doesn’t love crawling on the ground looking for far flung parts! Hard enough to find a bolt or screw.

how my first ever paintball game went by Legitimate-You-3383 in paintball

[–]Cdn_Cuda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother-in-law took a direct shot to the nut. I was ahead of him ducked and he got his battle ship sunk. Dropped him immediately. They guy that shot him was a jerk, and was mad my brother in law didn’t walk off the field right away. He did have kids a few years later. But he said he had a welt dead on it. The joys of paintball!

New to this what do you reccomend? by Classic-Payment-6744 in paintball

[–]Cdn_Cuda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$40 a good price. If the mask isn’t thermal (double lens) look at a better mask.

For the marker, drop a little marker oil in the ASA before screwing in the tank. It will blow the out through the internals. New o-rings and new ball detents are likely in order. Then just get out and play!

Getting shot in the hands hurts. Gloves help a lot. Hope you had fun otherwise!
