All American Paintball War Machine for sale

July 13, 2011 in All Americans

The Philadelphia All Americans, a retired pro paintball team, are auctioning off their old war machine. Check out this custom made Ford F-350 complete with 9 seats, a rare 3rd row, camper shell and the marks and scares that are earned winning more tournaments than most of us have ever attended.

All American paintball team truck

This truck is a piece of pro paintball history. Used by the World Champion All Americans, it drove around the country in the mid ’90′s and created fear in the team’s opponents.

That being said, it’s days have come and gone and the truck is in bad shape. So that there are no negative surprises, please assume that nothing works on this vehicle. While I don’t believe that that is the case, I don’t want to mislead anyone. I can get at least $500 for scrap metal but I figured I’d offer it in the hopes that someone who likes to re-build trucks will restore it to its former beauty.

The engine was replaced once and I don’t know how many are miles on it. The batteries are dead and I can’t turn the ignition over. I think the motor actually works but it has been sitting for at least four years.

PRO Paintball Team Rumors, Part 2

October 28, 2010 in All Americans, Rumor Reports, XSV

PRO Paintball Team Rumors, Part 2

PRO Paintball teams across the country are working on deals for the 2011 season. Read on as we share the latest paintball news & gossip surrounding Sacramento XSV and the Philadelphia All Americans.

Sacramento XSV

PRO Paintball insiders report that Shawn Walker (of NPPL and RPL fame) is in negotiations with Rich Telford. Word is Shawn & DGX paintball would like to buy an ownership position in Sacramento XSV. Rich Telford would continue to Captain and field the pro team and all final team-oriented decision making would remain with him. Sources suggest Shawn is interested in leveraging the Sacramento XSV brand to draw outside sponsors into paintball to support his league and XSV. DGX Paintball is Planet Eclipse West Coast Service Center. DGX’s involvement signifies that a deal with Planet Eclipse is a possibility for the 2011 season. Shawn Walker runs the RPL paintball league and has partnered with Sacramento XSV to reff his events and provide clinics for players. We expect that with Shawn involved in ownership and potentially funding the team that the players would continue to work with his RPL paintball series.

Sacramento XSV skipped PSP World Cup due to lack of funds. The team has indicated that they will be competing in one of the two pro paintball series in the 2011 season but as of writing no decision has been reached. In Monday’s NPPL Rumor report, we mentioned that the RPL would be a feeder series to the NPPL. Based on the above information, our guess is that XSV will be competing in the NPPL in 2010.

Pittsburg All Americans

Adam and Billy Gardner were spotted at PSP World Cup making their rounds and talking to several big players in the paintball industry. According to sources, the Gardners are interested in bringing back the Pittsburg All Americans. After the Smart Parts bankruptcy the Gardners went off the radar, presumably to focus on rebuilding their paintball business. World Cup 2010 saw the re-introduction of the Luxe paintball gun with several improvements. Long time All American player Darryl Trent has been a major player behind the scenes at DLX. He has been hard at work developing a Luxe 2.0 and another DLX marker and we anticipate that he will be very much involved should a revival of the All Americans come to fruition.

Stay tuned for part 3 of our PRO Paintball Rumor Report as we share the latest rumors and news surrounding Chicago Aftershock, San Diego Dynasty, Tampa Bay Damage, San Antonio X-Factor and many more.

propaintball-iconWelcome to the Pro Practice Schedule for the weekend of September 12th and 13th. For those of you whom are tuning in for the first time, the PPS is a series of updates in which we showcase the professional teams preparations leading up to the next major event.

  • San Diego Dynasty and Los Angeles Infamous will be at Camp Pendleton Paintball Park in Oceanside, CA. Both teams are said to be running drills and playing X-Ball, all in preparation for the 2009 Paintball World Cup.
  • The New England Hurricanes and the Philadelphia All Americans will be playing at Fox4 Paintball in Upton, MA. This will mark the second time Philly has come up to practice at Fox4 and the 5th time these two teams have practiced each other this year.
  • Last weekend Tampa Bay Damage and San Diego Aftermath squared off at Central Florida Paintball Park in Lakeland, FL. Both teams got their first look at the preliminary field and played lots of aggressive paintball in the humid Florida weather. Damage will be taking this weekend off and letting players have some personal time before getting back in the grove and practicing every weekend up to the event.
  • San Diego Aftermath will be hosting the WCPPL paintball event at Action Star Games in Bloomington, CA. The 7-man series has been a fun one to watch as teams battle it out for over $30,000.00 in cash prizes.

We will be updating the report as the day progresses with additional pro team news. Stay tuned!

The Long Awaited Chicago Open 2009 Sunday Paintball Photos

July 9, 2009 in Aftermath, Aftershock, All Americans, Dynasty, PSP, Russian Legion

propaintball-icon

Tradition holds for paintball tournaments in Chicago: winter weather stays strong up until the very day planes start landing and tossing paintball gear onto the baggage cars. When we arrived to the field on Tuesday it was apparent that we were in for a heatwave; 100 degrees farenheit and approx. 95% humidity. Chicago was going to be a hot one!

As the Chicago paintball event unfolded, the weather seemed to get warmer and warmer and the girls, well, they began showing up in less and less (Ed: sorry, no pics!). Pro Paintball and beautiful women — Can’t ask for much else! To make a long story short, once we all departed, the thermometer dropped about 20+ degrees Monday, but whose taking note? I’d like to share my thanks to Stephen Wright, Jack Palombo, Matt Dawson and all of the other supporters who contributed to the ProPaintball Chicago coverage.

Stand out, Matt Dawson, a veteran photographer and amazing contributor to Pro Paintball had quite the week. From accidents prior to arrival, to bruised shoulders, pinched nerves, and ice blisters, he got caught in a series of unfortunate events. Behind the scenes, Matt had been working straight through for the last several weeks trying to prepare for a new pro paintball mag, known as “Feature This”. Needless to say, Matt was unable to carry all of his gear with him at any given time and was put into an even more tough position. What happened in the end? Against all odds, Matt Dawson, prevails and brings a grip of amazing paintball photography.

Below is the Sunday Photo made possible by the hard work of Matt Dawson. For more of the Chicago event coverage (and tons of excellent paintball photos), be sure to check out our PSP Chicago Open 2009 coverage.
