"Wow, what's all that stuff on your marker?"

I have heard that question more times than I care to count. When you play with speedball with Tippmanns carrying military simulation modifications (milsim mods), players tend to notice your marker. But even on the woodsball field, the appearance of a modded-out marker can be impressive and very intimidating--especially to new players, who are usually the ones asking about my marker.

Big Can Hopes to Take Tippinators to the 'Next Level'

The decision was easy for Curry, an elite level paintballer, to help a group of scenario players who have moved into the speedball world, "For the Tippinators to play the honest, clean paintball they do and have a small amount of success on the field is great. But if they can hold true to their team motto and start winning tournaments it will show everyone in the paintball world the way it should be done." Curry continued, "the Tipp's have had more success with sponsors then any other team in the region simply by playing paintball with heart and honor. Imagine the sponsorship success they will have if they take their game to the next level, WINNING with honor. I'd like to help them achieve that."

Tipp-ing the Rift Woodsball? Speedball? To the Tippinators, it's all just paintball!

"Shake hands, play hard, have fun, make new friends and remember that it is just a game." It's a good credo, and a team from Canada has swept down to spread the message to paintballers everywhere. If you see the Tippinators at a tournament, they'll be the guys wearing Digicam and tactical vests, toting tricked-outA-5s--the same set-ups they use in the woods. Like a growing number of paintballers, the Tippinators don't care what style of the game they play, just that they get to play--and make new friends in the process.
