Bring it Irish, just be sure to strike first, preferably when Billy is in Thump's way by the motorhome door. You wanna see someone move when a paintball gun is shoved up your..., anyway, Billy did get out of the way. Forget the goodbye hugs and handshakes, it's more like this, "Hey Elk, POW!!!" 1-IOU for Thump.;)

The minimum is a brain bucket, if you have more I would recommend using it. There is no acception for not wearing a helmet.

There will be a lot of riding time and you should dress for the crash, not the ride. Every little bit of protection can help you survive another day of riding. If you don't have all the gear and money is an issue consider Walmart or some place like that to pick up padding and stuff. It may not have "FOX" or "NO FEAR" on it but it'll serve the purpose at a fraction of the cost. I would definitely wear goggles and if you can get some boots they will help your ankles and feet. Last year Tony broke his toe the 1st day. He caught it on a root I believe and had it not been for his boots ... I'd hate to think what would've happened.

Weapons of mass fun should be limited to airsoft equipment this year.  Collateral damage is much less likely and stray shots won't hurt the innocent.
