Riot players. Des Moines' strongest team got a little excited during the finals.

Okay. So keep in mind that this is literally the first time I have had a camera in my hands, and also I could not see anything with my ninja lens

But here are the pics, we tried getting everyone some camera love but if we didn't, I'm sorry!!!

They look great Tim, thanks again! 1800 pics - free. Doesn't get much better than that.

Thanks to ICU, especially Todd and crew for the excellent reffing. Also a shout out to the other pump teams - RIOT had a great time and will be back for pump events in the future.

At least they have reasonable prices for indoor paintball, unlike a certain field which charges $15 for entry and $80 a case

The first negative review I've heard of it.

Some people are neutral about the turf because of their expectations of it. It isn't the fanciest stuff out there, but it definitely cuts down on banged-up knees and elbows. Personally, I think I was better off running on the OSB flooring with the dust that they stopped using mid-year, but this doesn't seem to stop me from moving. Climbing into snake knuckles is the tricky part.

I agree w/Castro. We could still be playing on plywood. Be thankful for even having a place to play during Iowa's great weather patterns.

monty97 · 11-21-2012, 07:00 PM

This is just how it goes folks. People *****ed about the plywood and said they wanted turf, ICU buys turf and now people are *****ing about the turf. Seems to me people are never happy.

So what is good or isn't good about it? Too slippery when u run or to grippy when u slide?

Gorammit · 11-22-2012, 08:02 AM

I've only played onit once, but I found it a little slippery for getting started running. But you could get some great slides out of it.

This is really good to see!

Turf cleats worked well for me.

eatmeat · 11-22-2012, 10:01 PM

It's about the same as all indoor turf, but Todd doesn't want you to wear cleats on it. Witch is probably my only problem with it, it slides awesome but hard to run on, so when you come Keegan just where turf shoes or some exaults or shredders and its all good!
Love
Brad

Love you Brad!

Castro #66 · 11-28-2012, 11:14 AM

Turf cleats have been allowed. You'll save yourself a lot of angst if you bring your cleats and an extra set of sneakers to switch to if your cleats are "too aggressive".
