Hey Mattie,

Well you are good enough to win........I think we proved that at the lst C-4!! OOH YEAH!!

But I had to put in the stink it up vote, after all paintball is a team sport and don't think having only one Hailstorm player on the team will be enough to carry the rest

Work it over buddy. We're rooting for ya.

hey boys, thanks for thinking about us while we were out there.....Well, really what can I say about this past weekend?  It was INCREDIBLE.  Fernie is definitely the place to have a tournament and Mike Carey did an awesome job of this one, and I should know since we got rocked all tournament long and still had such an awesome time. 

Although this tournament started out awesome, there were definite problems and I thought we were in for a horrible weekend after the way friday went.  About half an hour from fernie I almost smoked a deer (probably within a couple feet) and I am sure the van was at least sliding sideways for a couple of feet while I tried to manuever around the pesky bugger all because Reid wanted me to check out a cool view (which was worth it i might add).  After arriving in Fernie we were greeted with an amazing condo to live in for the weekend in which I quickly stole a single bed for myself hehehe.  About a half hour later we were informed by our edmonton compatriots that one of them didn't have the funds to play this tourney....great, the day before the tourney and we are a guy short already.  Glen then decides to go mountain biking with Ziesmann and Steadman on mount fernie and ends up smashing his shoulder into a rock and tearing all of the ligaments in his shoulder therefore rendering him useless for the rest of the season (heheeh, i hope he reads that useless comment...i just love to stir things up).  So now we have been in fernie for about 4 hours and are already down to 5 players in a 7 man tourney.  We quickly call the Edmonton guys who have not yet arrived and they proceed to call 2 guys that they know from Edmonton and luckily both are willing to come and play.  The damage has been done though and we end up losing every game but one.  The fields were so much fun and sliding was a bit of an adventure because of the very slightly uneven ground and so after at least 3 of my break slides I ended up pulling chunks of grass outta my barrel before being able to proceed.  Anyways, just wanted to let you guys all know that it was incredible and we are back safe now.  I'll be sure to talk to you guys soon...

matt
