Yeah I don’t get the hate either. When I looked they were all sold out so they’re doing something right. I’m going to wait on a tiger stripe camo one before I buy one.

the same people in here talking about it being overpriced and ugly are the same people spending over 2 Gs on a GT headband and a pair of flex frames lol. The market in paintball is laughable. It is completely dictated on what the buyer wants to spend, period. Has nothing to do with actual monetary "value". If you dont like it, dont buy it. They're sold out, so clearly they're doing exactly what they intended on doing, good for them.

If he was into auto racing what difference would that make? You still buy products that support some rich guys' habits.
Get over it some of us can afford it and don't mind. Others can't. If you can't afford it then it's not for you. |

Just so you know it is entirely possible to be weird as hell and not be on drugs. However I am not one of those people...

Yeah he really bought into the crazy weirdo guy thing. But that can be explained a bit, it is easy to live in these countries like Bali when you have a level of wealth and all equally well off non-native friends living the same fantasy world as you. I dislike that he is using the ultra cheap labor of Bali to then turn around and offer these products at insane margins. Seems like it led to him thinking he is some high level, spiritually enlightened being and it ultimately comes off as being a bit of a caricature and silly to me when in reality he is the same capitalist pig that myself and anyone else is.

I’m just waiting on a restock. I’d be willing to try one out before passing judgement one way or the other.
I’m just not sure about the no washing machine cleaning. These will get grimey and dirty and sweaty. I’ve got no problem hand washing them, just not sure I can get them to the same level of clean as a washing machine is all lol

Just wait for HK to copy the designs then buy it from HK for $20. (They copy everything) Bali/China.... what's the difference?

Ya I agree. Oliver could have been the biggest catalyst to paintball. Didnt know about the cheap labor accusations. At this point its better off see him gone like all fried men of past

I agree that i think it is time for Ollie to move on. I personally think the peak oliver was the Ironmen Oliver. He was professional, nice, and winning. He really was the perfect poster boy for Dye. When he came back to Dynasty he became mean and then got weird. |

When someone gets mean and weird I don't pay attention to them anymore. Seems like you guys are the ones that need to move on.... I doubt Oliver is talking about you.

You wrote a paragraph about his playing days and how he became mean(?). He doesn't play anymore. He's drinking coconuts on the beach in Bali. His face hasn't been seen in the US at a national tournament in what...5 years? I'd call that moving on  |

Let the guy make headbands. I would consider Alex Fraige to be a friend and I support my friends businesses. And if Ollie wants to do psychedelics and be weird af, so what? Just smuggle me some in one of the headbands and we good.

The argument is that he needs to move in from paintball... selling headband isn’t moving on. |

Who the hell are you guys to tell someone else they need to move on?
Did your Mother tell you that you were special? That your opinion matters? If so.... She lied!!!!!!!!!!! Your opinion is crap, just like everyone else's. Get over yourself.
There is no argument....It's just you sweetheart

- No Upping threads. If you have something to say, please do, but don't post in the thread just to take it to the top of the forum.
- Do not post "1st post", "1st", "First post" or anything similar (or with any other number) at any point in a thread, even if you post a comment too. It is really annoying and it will result in a ban.
- If you don't like something, say why instead of just calling it ugly, lame, gay or any other name. If it is old, simply post a link or report the post with a link to the older News thread.
- Please don't post links for places to buy items. That encourages stores, sponsored players and other people to do it and spam the site.
If you have questions, please post them in the Talk to Mods/Admins forum.
