• Just as I predicted last week, Drew Spurlock’s phone blew up last Friday….he got a shipment of guns in and only a few remain! Mike’s busy building more…
• Speaking of Drew, he’s going to be in Lakeland, Florida’s legendary Central Florida Paintball this weekend doing a “Vapor Test Drive” with the Palm Beach Vipers. Hit him and Ken up to give one a go!
• Meanwhile, Valken’s Andy Potter is on the road this weekend, heading up to Macon, GA for the GFOA event there. Make sure you stop by and say hello, and see if he’ll show you the Valken Proton.
• Hmm…I’ll have Minions there to see about ‘liberating’ a Proton for review…
• He also let it slip that in addition to the Machine Paintball Vapor, Valken is also stocking the Bob Long G6R OLED, Avid Ego 11′s and GEO’s.
• Up in Canada, Western Canada now has a Valken warehouse in Vancouver.
• The Tippmann Crossover review is up: http://thefordreport.com/2012/07/the-tippmann-crossover/
• While Potter was in the office telling me all the things Valken going on, Gino busted in and pushed him aside to let me know that Echo paintballs are now in stock.
• Speaking of Canada, Sonny Lopez found a field in Canada called Muskoka Paintball: “I wanted to share with you a video we posted up last night of a beautiful field in Canada called Muskoka Paintball. Please check it out and share with your Ford Report if that is cool with you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSvR9yAfsxw&feature=youtu.be They had a lake at the end of the parking lot with boats and skiers going by all day. It was so cool!”
• After Potter and Gino left, Blue dropped by with this: “Pre-reg ends July 27th for the upcoming TIPPMANN EXTRAVAGANZA at EMR Paintball Park where they are bringing back the QUEST for the HOLY GRAIL on August 11th/12th. Join the Krazy Kaniggets or the Repressed Peasants for this epuc hilarious game. For more info, go to www.EMRPAINTBALL.com .”
• I’m hearing a lot of fallout from Skirmish’s ION, as usual…but I’m told the party at the Valken booth was killer. Muller tells me that if you thought ION was cool, make sure to hit ‘em up at Fulda Gap in November…
• While Drew is being a rock star in Florida, Ashley and I will be hosting a Vapor Test Drive at south Georgia’s Low Country Paintball this weekend.
• Over at Empire Paintball, they’re torturing me. They reminded me that the Prophecy Z2 is available in white now.
• Ladies: If you’ve always wanted to have a South Beach Pimp in your life, you now have another opportunity! Shawn “Soulcar” Collins along with Blake “Blank” Walden are single and looking to mingle! To give you an idea of how in-demand SoBe Pimps are, I was single for around 15 minutes last year before being claimed by BBK’s Ashley Barrentine, now Ashley Ford. It’s good to be a Pimp!
• PSP announces another host hotel for their upcoming Mid-Atlantic Open.
• Greg Muller is awesome. Just sayin’.
• Photos from the D-League’s #3 event are now online over at FxF.
• PALS dropped me a line letting me know that their World Cup Asia event registration is now open.
• AXBL lite announces their D4 race to 2 winners.
• Much to my surprise, The Bombshell’s J-Hub didn’t drive down and beat the crap out of me for talking about her butt, and my wife only mildly beat me for talking about hers. I’ve gotten requests for pictures of other parts of the ladies’ anatomy, and I can confidently report that it’s not happening.
• Apparently there were issues with PollDaddy for the Miss Catshack 2012 contest, so the new link to go vote for Ashley F. is here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-CatShack-Reports/101546187355#
• The Hellions are now the official team of Urban Ops Armory.
• For you bounty hunters out there, the CXBL is offering a reward for missing Ref jerseys…numbers 14, 23, and 25 are missing they want them back!
• I heard that Hell Survivors big event was this weekend…but nothing from them about it. Michiganders are known to hate Hoosiers, so I wasn’t surprised.
• I was going to have Vapors on hand this weekend to sell during the LCP Vapor Test Drive, but the USPS foiled me. The reason listed for my package not showing up at work today was “Insufficient Address”, which tells me the label likely got screwed up in transit. I’ve gotten packages from Machine before at work, and our regular carrier seems to know his business, and I know Drew has his s**t together, so that’s what I’m left with. I currently despise USPS, and yes, I’m bitter about it.
