Senior pictures from 1997, paintball related.

Here are but a few of the senior pictures I took years and years ago. There are more however my parents sre unable to find them - which is a bummer.

That summer I had gotten a Raptor to try out. It was fitted with all the Smart Parts bits there were and I used it for a short time in local tournaments. My friend and teammate is holding his Spyder tricked out with Smart Parts bits and the latest mods at the time. Remember when everyone referred to their markers as tricked out?

The photographer let us shoot the wall in his studio. That is real paint splatter. You'll notice a paintball sized hole in the bottom right of the wall. The floor curves up at the wall like a quarter pipe. One of us shot too low and put a hole straight through.

Don't ask why I'm not wearing shoes. I have no idea.

Looks like its straight out of an old paintball magazine.

Very cool pic, but poor trigger discipline!

Doc.

But I was emulating the guys in the magazines!

At least the safety was on, the marker wasn't cocked, and the co2 empty.

Love it! Maybe we need a new throwback picture thread?

As someone born in '93 I'm very into this idea, I love using markers made before me, but seeing them in action with the latest of pb fashion is that much better.

Glad to see I wasn't the only person to get his senior pictures taken with a paintball gun. Mine were in 2005 with my 2003 Vertical Feed Autococker. I did not have a jersey, parachute pants, or rocking socks only. Styles had changed in almost a decade. Yet oddly enough, that 25 year old mask you had with you is still the cat's meow.

It's still the mask I use every time out.

This is amazing. I’m not as cool as you, but here’s a photo of my team from high school, circa 2002

I can’t tell who you are.

[Jonnydread]

Riot that’s by design

He's the one in the blue jersey.

Being a man of that era, that is some radical 90s style my man

People don't say tricked out anymore?

These pics are awesome. I didn't have any senior pics taken with my gear for some reason. That sounds like something I definitely would've done.
