Fun Fact About You

[Decker]

So whats a little fun fact or snippet about you?
Note:keep it clean (obviously), and it dosent have to be a paintball related fact.

Decker: I never owned an A5 per se, I went on an "extended lease program" from a freind with one. And than he wanted it back, so I swiched back to my "lady luck" or my 98custom that I had from my fisrt day of paintball. (6 years now)

(I figured I would do something weird for my 150th post)

Okay, here goes. I have owned four motorcycles and have wrecked four times. Totalled one then wrecked it again less than a month later. Appearently I am not any good at riding motorcycles. But wheelies are addictive.

I bought my first car at the age of 17 (now 23) And I have owned 8 vehicles over a period of 6 years .... in this order..

86 Olds 98 Regency
91 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
93 Pontiac Grand Prix SE
96 Pontiac Grand Prix GT/SE --- Notice a trend here...
96 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS
90 Cheverolet Beretta GTZ
81 Dodge Ram Pickup
91 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme

And now my vehicle is a 2000 Mongoose Mountain Bike....

What can we learn from this.... Don't dump loads of money into a vehicle and expect them to last more than a year...

I have that good of luck with cars, So now luckily that I live in the Denver Metro area, I can walk or take a bus everywhere....of course the taxi of "Mom" is usually available too (yes I live with my mother....so I can get an education)

Here are some fun facts about me:
- Never owned or played with a paintball gun with a battery (not that I don't want to, just never had the chance)
- Am an Eagle Scout
- Was at the Boy Scout National Jamboree this past summer (the one with the 5 people who got electrocuted and 4 died and all the heat stroke) and got to meet George Bush and where the Land Warrior System (I now want one for paintball!).

I have played ice hockey since I was 8, was within two steps of playing at a professional level. I am now 25 years old (almost) and since 17 I have had 4 knee surgeries, 2 of them rather major due to various hockey injuries. Yet now I am able to run and raise all kinds of cain around the PB field. Amazing.

I have grown 2 extra chunks of bone in my ankles that i had to have removed this year. they were my 5th and 6th foot surgeries. The chunks were about the size of half of your thumb. Too bad they wouldn't let me keep the bone. The doctor said that it was so big that if he had the time and patience he would have set up the camera and sent a letter the the gueniss book of records.

I am only 15 and I have already screwed up my knees and they wont stop hurting until I stop growing. They have been killing me for 4 long years. I used the same 98 for my 5 years of paintball until now. I was cheated out on a spot for the Sandy Koufax A team because the Coaches son picked the teams (he picked his friends ) . I had to stop basketball tryouts early because of my knees. Out of all my friends in my grade, I am the only one who knows what insertion means

When in Greece, I like to go spear gun fishing for octopus. Finding them is the best part. You have to look for broken crab shells by the rocks or their tentacles swaying in the currents. Sometimes you get lucky and actually see them crawling along in the open. Then you dive, shoot them, drag them ashore, beat them 40 times against a rock, and rub them down until the oil in their skin is released.

The biggest one I ever caught was 3.5' long and almost drowned me before I got to the beach. Suffice it to say, I won and we had enough octopus to last us all summer.
