Out of interest:
1) In what year did you first play paintball?
2) How old were you when you played your first ever game of paintball?
3) To save working it out, how old are you now?

For example:
1993
13
31
1) First played paintball at an old hospital around Surrey somewhere. With Pump markers. It was amazing. This must have been about 1990/91
2) 12/13
3) 36

The first time I played tournament paintball was later, and around 19 at college/uni. This would have then been 97/98/99, it's a bit hazy to remember exactly when and how it actually happened. (Although looking at when I joined this site, it was 2001, so that will be pretty close to when I really found my love for it!)

I played through my 20's but never had the cash to make it more. (Better kit, more time to train etc)

I wish I could re-invest and get back into playing now I am 36, but expect the game has changed some what since then. However my money situation is still just as low, for different reasons, but still no cash to play paintball.
