Tim Montressor on the All Americans update
Read on as Pro paintball player Tim Montressor of the Philly All Americans shares his personal story of his journey to the top with the All American Paintball team. This story follows on the heals of yesterdays article announcing that the All Americans will be taking the season off and is definitely worth a read.
"This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."
-Winston Churchill
The ominous gray clouds of the dreary winter afternoon hang over the cold cement parking lot as the boys sit outside the bookstore while anxiously and restlessly flipping through the pages of the magazine at a frantic pace. The teenagers point and comment with every turn of the glossy sheet dreaming of possibilities and hoping that their delusions can one day become a reality. The allure of becoming a professional football player, basketball player or baseball player has sputtered away leaving only the optimism of becoming a world class paintball player. Despite the peculiar looks and constant questions, society is intrigued by the game of paintball and the notion that someone can commit such a large portion of themselves to one goal and one objective with little to no monetary return. Nonetheless, such grand outlooks and sociological concerns are irrelevant to the boys as they admire the images of the professional paintball players and their shimmering trophies and oversized plaques. At 25 and about to turn 26 in a week and almost 11 years since I sat outside the Barnes and Nobles with my friends, my dream has been lived and the opportunities that life and God have provided within the game of paintball continue to be seized and consumed, further fueling my life and allowing a new door of prospects
For over 20 years, a large quantity of aspiring paintball players has dreamt of playing on the All-Americans. Despite the public outcries and opinions pertaining to certain players or sponsors, it was always hard to deny the intrigue of a team that had endured every transition of the sport and maintained the ability to remain competitive. Much in the way the Yankees or Red Sox have built a legacy in baseball with their staying power and ability to survive, the All-Americans had forged through the muggy intermediary periods of our game. Coincidentally, I grew up in the Midwest; therefore it was inevitable to hope for a tryout with Detroit Fusion or Chicago Aftershock, it was a right that came with location. But, I had always respected the All-Americans and their drive for victory and perfection that defined the team and its players and so I was able to still imagine myself waiving the All-American banner after a victory.
In 2004 I joined the team out of necessity when I had nowhere else to go and once I was provided a chance to leave I stayed because I didn't want to go anywhere else. I do not consider myself too masculine to admit that a piece of
my heart has been broken; but not in the way that a girl can strain a boy's emotions or the loss of a family member evokes mourning, but similar to waking up from an amazing dream that seemed all too real and sadness arises because the harsh reality of daily life is overly mundane. Still, much like the players that came before us, the 2009 team all poured our sweat and tears into making the Philadelphia Americans a success, and we did it on our terms. Nonetheless, in the same manner that a proud parent observes their child begin college and embark on a new adventure, the players of the All-Americans will witness their careers in the game and in life evolve into something fresh and different.
To those that have asked, YES, the All-Americans will not be competing in the 2010 season. Nevertheless, I would be remiss to tell the futures of all the players because I do not know what everyone will do for this season or the next. Some players have moved on because they felt it was time to venture forth and some have moved on because they had to. It was an ending that I could never imagine because the book was too long and the conclusion appeared too distant. Nonetheless, it is not a gloomy day for me or the players because it is simply an unavoidable evolution of life. So, I no longer have to welcome a handful of teammates into town or fend them off my refrigerator or protect my beer like a new born child. However, the cliché that all good things come to an end holds true, it's just a matter of when the end arrives.
In closing, I would like to thank everyone that made our dream a possibility; most importantly all of our fans, supporters, moms, dads, friends and sponsors that supported us not only when we were up but most significantly when we were at our lowest. For without all of you, our hopes would have remained unfulfilled and plastered between the shiny covers of magazines.
-Tim Montressor

The U.S. Army Paintball Carver One is a new .68 caliber paintball marker made by Tippmann that has a military look at a very affordable price.
Carver One is the latest addition to the extremely popular and rapidly growing U.S. Army Paintball line. The new marker incorporates an array of eye catching and performance-enhancing features, including four picatinny rails for easily adding scopes or handles, a built-in foregrip, built-in sling mounts and built-in sights. As an additional benefit, a stock and foregrip can be purchased separately, and then easily added to give Carver One a unique appearance and superior on-field control. An eGrip version of the new marker will also be available.
Carver One will be officially introduced at Paintball Extravaganza on February 9, and retail shipments are anticipated to begin in early March. For additional details about this new marker, please visit our updated U.S. Army web site at http://bit.ly/usarmyforum. You can also check out new Carver One YouTube video with Denny Tippmann Jr. at http://bit.ly/CarverOneForum.

The future of the All Americans Pro Paintball Team
The ProPaintball.com chatbox has been exploding with speculation and news about 2010 pro paintball team prospects. Today's update sets the record straight regarding the All Americans.
Hoping to catch the scoop from the source, Pro Paintball's Justin Mason caught up with team owner and long time All-American player Adam Gardner.
Gardner remorsefully responded:
"Yes, unfortunately that is true. We will break our streak of 20 straight years with at least 1 first place finish."
While the Pittsburgh All A's could consistently be found on the podium throughout 2009 (as well as being the only primary challenger to Moscow powerhouse Russian Legion), the economic downturn has directly affected primary team sponsor, Smart Parts. While this marks a sad day in professional paintball history, there is hope that a new phoenix will rise from the ashes of this once great franchise.
ProPaintball staff had the opportunity to speak with former All American player Darryl Trent, director of DLX Technologies, who added;
"Mark my words. The All Americans will be back in 2011. We will be harder, faster and stronger than ever and will be bringing our A-game against the Russian Legion."
2010 will certainly be a new era of professional paintball.

Joint Press Release MAXS Sport GmbH & PAINT XTREME GmbH
Take-over of Smart Parts Europe Stocks and Tech-Service
We are proud to announce the joint take-over of the complete Smart Parts Europe (Ltd.) stocks
including all spare parts after the closure of their London stocks by our two companies. The complete
inventory is now being finally recorded in Europe’s biggest and most modern Paintball distribution
center, the MAXS DC in Friedberg.
From now on, all distribution partners who formerly purchased their Smart Parts products directly
from England will have the opportunity to deal with one of the above mentioned companies. Smart
Parts‘ last regular wholesale price list will again be valid and binding from February 1, 2010 on –
especially in matters of MAP pricing.
Tech Services and all other warranty issues for SP products will – as already done before by Smart
Parts Europe – again be handed over to company GUNTECH in Zweibruecken since their outstanding
expertise in matters of SP is unequalled all over Europe. We are pleased that we have been able to
regain GUNTECH as an experienced partner for all technical customer services. Alternatively
customers may also contact all MAXS Megastores in Germany, Austria and Switzerland or one of the
PAINT XTREME Superstores in Saarbrucken and Waldems where you will find qualified and trained
Smart Parts Techs answering all your technical questions.
In times of mistrust and keen competition, we have decided to go this unusual way together in the
form of a joint cooperation since we have a strong faith in Smart Parts as a brand and their products
– even and especially in the future! At the same time we were aware of the deep incertainty among
players and dealers and hope that combining the strengths of our two companies (MAXS with its
distribution centre and PAINT XTREME as the biggest SP dealer in German-speaking countries) will
regain the faith in such great products as e.g. the ION (still being the benchmark for all other entry
level e-markers), VIBE (the rental marker of the future) or other classics such as the Freak Set.
Using this opportunity we would like to thank Phil Webb (former Managing Director SP Europe Ltd.)
and especially Adam Gardner (Vice President Smart Parts USA) for their trust and cooperation during
the recent weeks.
Dealers and players/teams which haven’t had an account with MAXS or PAINT XTREME so far may
now open one at www.maxs-sport.com or www.paint-xtreme.com in order to purchase Smart Parts
products. Please address all technical enquiries to info@guntech.de.
