Bounces?

What do you guys do to get bounces like on your upper body and stuff.

ionno · 08-04-2006, 10:38 PM

bounces are just luck basically but u can do things such as put ur hand over ur mask wen running and stuff like that to increase the chances of getting a bounce

pbscoot777 · 08-04-2006, 10:47 PM

well, get baggy pants(new empires are nice) and you have a real good chance of getting a bounce, but upper body is just luck

well i already get mad bounces of my 06 airtimes(4 in a row to the you know where.none broke)

. they rock, but i read about wearing certain things in a certain order(some mojo like that) can help a ton and still not exceed the layer limit.

Wearing a hoodie or something might increase bounces, but on hot days I don't recommend it. I bet strapping a pillow to your chest would work as well

elbow pads help a lot i guess, not from personal experience but ik a lot of people tell me they do.

Bobman7 · 08-05-2006, 12:53 AM

heh, i'm just fat, so i get a lot of bounces as is...just wear a baggy jersey and elbow pads( a teammate of mine wears 2 pairs..)ummmm, thats about it

sneakyweasel · 08-05-2006, 01:44 AM

fat ftw but baggy jersey or tshirt, elbow pads, and a proflex get great bounce

richj54321 · 08-05-2006, 07:48 AM

isnt there like an empire bounce shirt or something? its like underarmor with padding.

ninja-run-thru · 08-05-2006, 08:44 AM

a huge bubble suit

baggy clothes, wear more than one headband, wear lots of underarmor refs wudnt be able to tell if your playing a begginners tournament.

Don't get shot?

Yes there is an empire underarmor and it's legal to wear at tournaments.

You can do alot of things, Ron Kilbourne used to sow sweatshirts into jerseys so as to not exceed the layer limit

lol

Put toilet paper into your pockets before going into the game, wear sweatbands on your wrist under your armpads and stuff etc.

dynastyp8ntb · 08-05-2006, 01:52 PM

i just wear a really baggy hoodie and one of those beanies with a visor on it.

sneakyweasel · 08-05-2006, 01:58 PM

only problem is most tourneys will not allow you to wear hoodie and outside of pads(elbow and knee pads) i believe that all layers are "suppose to be" as think as one layer of cotton(tshirt) some how dye and empires versions of padded underarmor got away with this. but they might become illegal if they become a problem like the c4 line

firerz05 · 08-07-2006, 02:59 AM

Luck. Simple as that. At most tournaments your only allowed two layers plus pads(elbow) Not too much you can do with two layers. Ive worn really baggy jersies at tournaments and have cought breaks on really gay parts... also have gotten lucky with bounces. Also.. elbow pads catch alot of bounces.. or atleast they have for me before.

yeah elbow pads get a ton of bounces but usually its just luck. i dont really get too many breaks on my arms though and the only time in the last 6 months ive gotten a break on my legs was yesterday when someone was shooting empire inertia pro and damn does that **** break on everything it touches...

AvinTheWicked · 08-07-2006, 03:12 AM

Yes as mentioned before, cover up anything solid like your mask and your gun. Keep your gun in the opposite hand if your making a dash and get your hand up to stop shots from hitting your mask.

icdbko32 · 08-07-2006, 08:37 AM

im a big guy and although im not to fat i still have a layer on me now that seems to gert alot of bounces. not like rolls well standin fat just like a thin 1-1.5 inch layer on my stomach and it works for me, i hardly ever got eliminated from shots, the only shots the break are my are somlething really hard like mask, pod pack, head, shoulders, and ribs, i never get any other breaks anywhere else. iv taken 10 shots all up my chest and sides and not a single one broke on me

Renegade185 · 08-07-2006, 10:22 AM

Baggy Clothing+Pads+Proflex+beanie=bounce

OMGitsSpags · 08-07-2006, 07:39 PM

idk
but if you have muscle you're boned
especially if you tense up when you're hit
tensing up=flexing=easy BREAK

TEAMADDICTION · 08-07-2006, 07:56 PM
