He was a bit surprised to learn that I not only was still doing The Ford Report and editing Shooting Hot Magazine, but that I’d moved to Georgia and gotten remarried. Obviously someone’s speaking out of turn, but that’s okay. If it becomes necessary I’ll write a piece for TFR detailing my life during the course of 2011 and how much better things are now as compared to last year.

  • Blue did the usual kicking the door in to start off 2012 right in the Ford household, and while he was fighting off Bo the Happy Puppy and the Death Kitties, he laid this message on me: “Happy New Year from the EMR FAMILY. 2012 EMR One-Year Passes and BIG 4 passes are available for our 2012 Schedule. For more information, go to http://www.emrpaintball.com/bigfour.shtml .”
  • Being the smart guy he is, Larry Cossio made sure that Bo The Happy Puppy and The Death Kitties were distracted by food before letting me know that he has mobile versions of his website now, which include a direct dial option for the office, so you don’t have to memorize it anymore!
  • The PSP announced some more flight discounts to their events this year.
  • RAP 4 just inked a deal with Israel’s SWAT Operators to provide training for the next 3 years.
  • That’s a trip I wouldn’t mind taking, just to see Israel and their elite police in action.
  • Kreisman dropped by without disturbing anyone to give me the latest news on Team Infamous: “Happy New Year! On the heels of Infamous making strategic moves during the offseason to increase the strength of their team, they just announced that they will be using CPX Sports as their home field for the 2012 season.”
  • The Good News: The Ford Report’s website crushed previous traffic numbers this past week. The Bad: It took a story about felony rape to do it. The Ugly: Two idiots getting their butts thrown in jail for allegedly raping someone is what drives traffic. There are days when I don’t like being a paintball media person.
  • Critical Paintball’s Jon-Paul Fortunati announces that he now has the Empire Axe Critical Trigger…which oddly enough made my wife want to go buy an Axe, just to get to talk to Jon-Paul.
  • **SIGH**
  • If you’re in the Ocala, Florida area this weekend and got some paint to burn, head on over to Old River Paintball to enjoy the BYOP weekend at the legendary Florida field. Get yer info here: http://www.oldriverpaintball.net

  • I’m hoping that everyone had a safe and sane New Year’s Eve! Ashley and I celebrated the incoming new year with Shooting Hot Magazine’s Editor Bill Murray, just kicking back at LCP, sitting by a bonfire and relaxing. I couldn’t have thought of a better way to kick 2011 out of my life and welcome 2012. Thanks, Bill.

  • Speaking of Valken, they’ve stepped up to sponsor the NPPL for 2012.
  • Kreisman seemingly appeared out of nowhere to pass on this info about Team Infamous: http://thefordreport.com/2011/12/team-infamous-breaking-news/
  • Looks like they’re dipping into the very deep well of Chicagoland’s Aftershock…

Will include music from 4 bands, Parrothead Costume Contest, Pirate Costume Contest, and a Hawaiian Luau. Happy Holidays Everyone from BLUE, SUE, and DEUCE!”

  • Exalt has released a new feed gate for the Prophecy.
  • Zodiac Paintball, who’s gun Waverly Muller is using at Galaxy Wars, has a brand new shiny website…
  • I know I shouldn’t be listening in to my wife’s conversations when she’s plotting and scheming for the game, but the hit squad she’s putting together to counter Waverly’s secret weapons is a bit frightening.
  • I sense another article coming on…
  • PSP is having a ref clinic at Wacky Warriors in Missouri January 14th.
  • With the end of 2011 and the beginning of 2012, look for some exciting announcements from The Ford Report, as well as the 2012 issue of Shooting Hot Magazine! That’s assuming everyone stays lucid enough to get the information out there….
  • For New Year’s weekend, Ashley and I initially planned on staying home and getting all kinds of inebriated to celebrate the end of ’11 and usher in ’12, but after some discussion this weekend, we felt it’d be more appropriate for us to travel over to Low Country Paintball for the weekend to just hang out and start getting our minds right (as right as they can, anyhow) for the upcoming game, test out some gear, etc. I’m sure some libations will be in the picture as the evening progresses, but being amongst friends seems like a better way to flip the proverbial bird to ’11 than just sitting at the house.

  • I’m proud to announce that 2 of the first Machine Paintball Vapors in the US will be making their public debut at LCP Scenario Games’ “Galaxy Wars” in January. If you needed yet another reason to go to this beast of a game, there’s you another. My wife will be encamped with her team BBK while I’ll be encamped with my team South Beach Pimps. We’ll be demonstrating the guns all weekend long, so feel free to drop by and take a peek! Http://www.lcpscenariogames.com to get signed up for this event.
  • I got a picture from Joanne Wheeler today from the offices at the old ProCaps Facility, which will now be housing (I’m assuming) G.I. Sportz’s manufacturing and office facilities.

  • S-Thunder has welcomed professional reviewers to demonstrate ALTERNATIVE WAYS to effectively use S-Thunder milsim gear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5IAeW3KTZw
  • God help them if they give some gear to Ace Shooting Hot Magazine Reviewer Seth Manchester….the results will be interesting. Just sayin’!
  • Speaking of interesting LCP has announced on their facebook page a Zombies vs. Humans game at the Georgia SuperField in April. The format is similar to the “300” game done there a few years ago. It’s not for the faint of heart, and you better be wearing your big boy pants if you want to get in on it.
  • The kids over at ProPaintball.Com broke a story about a sighting of a new gun being prototyped by Thin Air Sports. Reps for Thin Air Sports later say on Facebook that the pictures taken were of a very early prototype. Which begs the question: If it’s an early prototype, why bother field testing it?
  • John Navarro, AKA the Till Lindemann of Paintball dropped by with this announcement: “Its official now. Rico Fernandez(rick.fernandez@yahoo.com ) of TopGun Productions will be leading the Humans and Jeff Gwaltney (Gwaltinator@eclipse-owners.com ) of Team IYAOYAS who will lead the Aliens. Pre registration is open for February 25-26,2012 @ Old River (www.oldriverpaintball.net ) for the season opener of Greg Hastings Tour of Duty under the game title 4Real 2. We are looking forward to the out of state teams that are considering this event. If you re an out of state team you get a break or if you have a team of 10+,you get a break.. How could you resist!!”

  • ANS Gear has the Etha in stock.
  • Frank “Da Tank” Connell joins Vanguard Paintball: http://thefordreport.com/2011/12/frank-da-tank-connell-joins-vanguard-paintball/

  • The January 2012 issue of Shooting Hot Magazine will feature a new European editor, Robert Naylor.

  • The D-League announces their 2012 season.
  • The RPL has opened up registration for their first event of 2012.
  • You remember me mentioning that I had heard there were some more developments in the Paintball Sports bankruptcy case? I got a box full of legal documents the other day that I plan on opening and taking a look through here in the very near future.
  • Blue kicked my door in after a long absence (I guess he thought I was mad at him?) with this announcement: “BluesCrewTV.com will be Live Streaming the New Year’s Eve party presented by Tropstock.com from 8:00 pm until 2:00 am. If you cannot join us at this great event, watch it on your computer, phone, or TV.

  • I wasn’t mad at him, but the Death Kitties were upset that he’d been gone so long…
  • Ged Green dropped Ashley and I a note wishing Happy Holidays and a healthy 2012…and we wish him the same!
  • Up in Indiana, Fort Knox Paintball’s Mike Payroll announced the Payroll Productions’ 2012 season of events. I’m going to make a supreme effort to make their first event in March, but it’ll depend on advertising revenue and other income…plus it’d be the weekend of my birthday!
  • My Wife and my Father continue recovering, at what I consider a pretty impressive rate. If you’ve been following me on FB, you know I’ve been sicker than hell, but I finally beat it…all I had to do was raise hell with a doctor to give me a Prednisone prescription, and lo and behold I feel like a million bucks! Go figure… Merry Christmas to all of you!

  • First things first: Both my Dad and my Wife had their surgical procedures yesterday, and today both are home pleasantly surprised that they’re not hurting as bad as they’d feared. Out of respect for their privacy, I’m not going to discuss their procedures, but neither procedure put their lives at risk. Just made for a very rough day for their husband and son.
  • Spoke with the ever-ebullient and elegant Craig Miller today. It seems that he’s going to be returning to his old job at Procaps in the near future. Back under old management?
  • Meanwhile Valken has been busy behind the scenes looking to make LCP’s Galaxy Wars the event of the year for 2012…even though it’s happening in January!
  • Which reminds me…my wife, who’s commanding the “Dark Side” as Madam Director has made no bones about her being there and actively participating in the game on and off field. The timing of her surgery is such that she’ll be recovered by the time the event goes off, so no worries there. She doesn’t want to miss out on her re-match with Waverly!
  • Greg Hastings used his ninja like reflexes and speed to get past the Death Kitties and Bo to give me the info for this tidbit: http://thefordreport.com/2011/12/greg-hastings%E2%80%99-tour-of-duty-2012/
  • American Airlines is offering a discount for PSP players on tickets for their flights.
  • The NPPL sent out in their newsletter a special on the Pro Player’s pack of goodies, as well as announcing that NPPL On Demand will be available January 1 for the upcoming HB event.
  • Billy Smith of LCP strode in, put the fear of God into the Death Kitties and petted Bo the Happy Puppy and quietly passed this news on regarding Galaxy Wars: “Johnny P with KEE Action Sports has donated an Axe, bottle and Prophecy loader for the charity auction at LCP’s January game, Galaxy Wars, to raise money for Peyton, see pbnewyearbash.com for more info.”
  • E-Money let me know that Mike is selling a nearly new 2011 PSP Field for next to nothing. Email Mike at mike@mike610.com to get yourself a field on the cheap!
  • A-Bomb dropped me a line from SoCal: “Dale, this is Abomb from the SoCal Ghosts. I wanted to let you know the Velocity Paintball park in Ramona, CA (north of San Diego) is hosting their annual Santa VS Grinch game this Sat 12/17. The Ghosts have taken over this game to add our own special twist! Come help Santa save Christmas! More info at www.velocitypaintballpark.com .”
  • That’s this weekend! Head on over!
  • Alex Reed kicked my door in to make sure I knew the truth: http://thefordreport.com/2011/12/truth/
  • Then the always lovely Suzy Barnett glided into the office to tell me about husband Tim’s passion: http://thefordreport.com/2011/12/shoreline-paintballs-passion/
  • Yeah, I thought it was going to be TMI as well….
  • RAP4 has rolled out their MKV.
  • Over in Taiwan, Machine Paintball’s Mike Spurlock is literally (according to Jimmy, anyhow) climbing the walls getting the first shipment of Vapors ready.
  • SLY has rolled out their 2012 lineup.
  • ProPaintball.Com reports on the Bob Gurnsey Scholarship for paintballers.
  • The PSP thinks you ought to rent a beach house for PSP Galveston…and have a deal for you if you do.
  • RAP4 is giving away 1000 palm lights on Christmas Day.
  • In case you missed the link in the “Items of Interest” email I send out every week, this past weekend I took a hard look at selected companies in the industry as part of my 2011 Year in Review. The utter lack of response from the industry people and the massive spike in my site’s traffic indicates to me that I was closer to the mark than I thought. http://thefordreport.com/2011/12/the-2011-year-in-review/ to take an unflinching look at 2011.
  • I’m not an overtly religious person, and never have been. An encounter yesterday at the hospital while Ashley and I were waiting for her to go back to the OR does reaffirm what views I do have. I sat in the room with Ashley, watching her try to deal with the obvious pain that she was in, worried about my father 2400 miles away in Colorado having to deal with his issues surgically, and this little old man who was there waiting on his wife to come out of surgery walked in, asked if I was alright. I said I was, but apparently I wasn’t. This little old man took my hand, and he prayed for me to have the strength to tend to Ashley, and for her to make a speedy recovery. The sense of peace I got from this experience helped immensely. I don’t know your name brother, but thank you for what you did.

  • Meanwhile, rumors abound that Tippmann is or is in the process of buying Angel Paintball Sports. Other than a denial from Bussler, nothing is being said.
  • And to be honest, Tippmann probably isn’t buying APS. They’re probably buying some of the Intellectual Property like the Angel Eyes and a rumored new gun, and maybe whatever patents APS still holds. Tippmann is an American company, and I doubt the UK government would take kindly to American Corporate Raiders coming in and buying up their seized property for pennies on the dollar.
  • For those of you following the Paintball Sports Bankruptcy case, (Case #Case No. 8-10-75154-reg), I have been told that orders to go to deposition and produce documents have come down from the Bank Trustee. Stay tuned…
