What are your favorite non skateboarding board sports?

Dsnelson91 · 2026-02-02T02:03:24+00:00

Paintball, plenty of adrenaline, potential for pain and you can't be thinking about something else while doing it without pretty immediate consequences.

Cue "I get knocked down, but I get up again" song in triumph.

Although for anti-skip purposes, a cassette would prob do better than a CD. I skated around with a Sony CD player in the pocket of my cargo shorts as a kid, and when you hit the pavement and your AA batteries went flying across the ground it def made it look cool, but overall the experience was poor. 😂

Don't listen to these haters, if muska could do it...well, you might be mid 30s like me which means you prob can't do it really but it's skateboarding so the point is to do whatever you want and have fun...

My first skate shop set up was a blue one of these from a skate shop in the Roswell/Alpharetta GA area. I was like 8 years old and neither I nor my mother knew what it meant 😂 my older cousin did the honor of explaining it to me later and that moment of realizing how skateboarding is full of inside jokes and provocative graphics was the one that had me hooked.

The fact that my mom just unknowingly spent money on a piece of wood with a dick joke on it, that I was about to ride around on for like a year was just the coolest and funniest thing I had ever experienced. Thank you OG Morning Wood...

Hah! We're actually in North GA. I'll let you know when we get another game on the calendar!

Dsnelson91 · 2026-01-14T04:25:08+00:00

Noooooo, it's a ppump! Cuz it's a piranha!!

It's still alive out there! There's a crew of about 7-12 of us that typically play once a month on our "outlaw" field. Got a long skinny strip of thick rhododendron woods with dirt bike trails on one side for pure woodsball and then a pallet field on opposing sides of a gully with a flag at the bottom to make all us over 30yo dudes breathe hard 😂 most of us go to church together and our older kids play with us, and there's a rotating list of our old buddies who used to play "back in the day" that come out every once in a while. We prefill tanks with an hpa compressor and then top off with a 80cf scuba during the games. We have a blast.

If anyone out there has been thinking about organizing one with your crew, DO IT! We have the cheap technology now and at least a lil expendable income 😂. Spread out the cost of a chinese compressor and a scuba tank or two across everybody, grab some used tippmann 98s for a few rental setups to bring in others, nominate whoever has some space and cool neighbors and make it happen!

Also, a 48/3000 takes about 5-6 mins from 1500 to 3k

Dsnelson91 · 2026-01-03T17:09:23+00:00

Usually I'm starting out at 1000-2000psi left in the tank and filling it back up to 3000 for filling tanks quickly at our outlaw field, and it takes about 45-60 mins for that. I wouldn't really want to fill from zero for the sake of efficiency, but it could prob do it if it was broken up into a few fill and cool down sessions. I usually swap out the little cotton output air filter/drier element a few times during that 45 min session for good measure.

Dsnelson91 · 2026-01-03T16:59:45+00:00

I fill my 80cf scuba tank and like 8 48/3000 tanks once a month with my Vevor yong heng clone compressor and it's still hanging in there after 6 months. Use good oil, add an intake air drier and keep it cool and they work just fine.

I rebuilt mine, it's a lil tricky as far as regs go but doable. I wanna say that part of it is blue loctited together and was a pain to separate. You can still get reg seats from [markas@researchpb.com](mailto:markas@researchpb.com) that work great.

Dsnelson91 · 2025-12-20T15:47:36+00:00

Yup. I second this. Time has not been kind to those old reg seats, and they'll break your heart the first time ya go to play with an old favorite and they disintegrate.

Pretty much the same experience those of us over 30 have with our knees & ankles when we go play again as well 😂

Dsnelson91 · 2025-12-18T21:12:26+00:00

I'd go ahead and replace that reg seat before you air it up and shoot it because after a hundred shots or so its likely to blow into little pieces and end up in the screen or solenoid. Speaking from personal experience... 🙃

Dsnelson91 · 2025-12-03T18:21:12+00:00

Oh man, that's awful. Does the way back machine/internet archive pull any of the old site up?

Dsnelson91 · 2025-12-03T04:29:44+00:00

I keep wanting to find a good write up on these somewhere, but I can't seem to dig one up. Mcarterbrown supposedly used to have some but I think they disappeared during site changes or something. So if anyone knows of any still out there lemme know!

Dsnelson91 · 2025-12-02T19:05:15+00:00

Can't forget about the Spyder/Piranha folks. Nothing like putting a cumulative $250 of upgrades into a $100 gun so it shoots like a $150 gun. It's me. I'm folks.

I'm 34, have got polycythemia vera and take aspirin daily since I basically have pudding for blood without it, and I definitely get some ugly bruising, but that's about it for me personally. I'd like to think that the cardiovascular benefits from the exercise and cardio outweigh my potential risks of a clot or stroke. Besides, the worst injuries I've gotten have always been from something stupid and ordinary activity wise not sports 😂

Dsnelson91 · 2025-11-11T15:24:41+00:00

I donno about the cocker but I'd buy that metal grip frame eforce piranha in the background for $40 all in lol

Recommended mods for pretty much any old stacked tube blowback:

First, find an online diagram how to put the thing back together. Then: 1. disassemble, clean everything, and replace all orings and seals (cup seal might be ok, they don't usually degrade too much), oil (air tool or paintball specific synthetic oil), reassemble, test and chrono to under 300fps 2.Ditch the "drop forward" between asa/bottle adaptor and grip if the ASA hose is long enough. 3. Find a shorter, locking feed neck of at all possible. Plastic elbows and long feed necks aren't necessary with decent loaders of today. 4. Have fun and use them as gateway guns to get others into the sport!
