hi everyone
as we all know paintball is very expensive, and I'm broke. So, is there any paintball related way for a beginner to make money. If get sponsored, how, give me some tips. And no I cannot write for a website as I have no gear, thats why I want some money so I can buy the gear. any ideas?

Thanks
Tom

p.s. I have just come back from the gadget show live yesterday and I brought 16 ministry of paintball for £50. Paintballs are a bit expensive though, £11 for the first 100 then £8 each!

Well, you won't get sponsored being just a beginner.

I suggest you get a job.

Buy a pump. You use less paint, less air, and you gain more skills.

No excuse.  Mow lawns for the neighbors, walk their dogs, deliver newspapers.  IF you really want to play that bad then you should be responsible enough to support yourself in this sport.

Werent you the same one claiming you  invented something and would be coming into a bunch of money and were going to outfit you and 4 or 5 of your friends? Now you're too broke to even buy your own gear?

a laptop over paintball equipment? haha i'm sorry.

In the broad spectrum of bad ideas I think this would have to rate somewhere between running with scissors and sticking your pecker in the toaster.

We understand perfectly, you had a limited amount of money and were forced to choose between a computer and paintball.  You decided a new computer was more important, spent accordingly and can now not afford the paintball stuff you want.

The solution is to get more money and the best way to do that is to earn it.

Actually, the BEST way is to find some extremely hot swimsuit model who is infatuated with you and is willing to support you by doling out money like an ATM while making you a sammich.... but your way works too.
