Whats the word on the street?

Anything new going to debut anytime soon? End of summer is usually when the new buzz is about on new and upcoming products.

All I seem to recall hearing is that the price of loaders(DYE?) were going UP! Not good news or exciting IMO.

There has been some rumors that the new prophecy will debut at PSP World Cup in a few month.
HK Army/PB fashion are now making custom jerseys.
Still some speculation on manufactures calling for NPPL and PSP to merge into 1 league.
There are more little tid bits that I've heard but not worth mentioning yet.

I knew paintball as a whole was dying off but this is the first time I really actually believed it/can see it actually happening.

I can understand that the economy may be driving costs up but it is also seeing to it that a lot of people don't have $ to spend thus the price hike may result in less income for the company.

Eclipse stopped the annual release of Egos finally, Rotor prices went up, HK/PBFashion is making custom jerseys, as well as their own jersey, and thats about all I can think of unfortunately :(

Hydrotech still does not have a production machine running but I heard it should be fairly soon if they can. They supposedly hired some new engineers/techs to redo part of the system and once they get it done they should be ready to test it out for samples.

"heard this from a local field owner/team sponsor that is signed up to be getting these once they do come out. so don't flame me to much..." :cheers:

OH! I forgot, a new company called ICP (Not Identity Crisis) is coming out. Supposedly they designed the rocking trigger for Kingman, so they're incorporating that into their design as well as a mini-camera in the feedneck.

Saw the prototype of the new prophecy when I played against Vicious this last weekend at UWL Nebraska. Their players had the prototypes on their markers, look to be more durable and are noticeably smaller and lighter.

2011 the year paintball died

2011 the year paintball died

Wait, I thought that was 2010? And 2009 before that? And before that 2008? And on, and on. Heck, paintball has been dead every year since I began playing apparently.

Anyway, the latest news that I have of any interest is that someone is attempting to make the AGD X-valve more efficient with a prototype drop-in upgrade. (I figured nobody around here would know about that... it's not like the guy's picture is at the top of the page or anything, lol) If anyone could find a red powertube o-ring to help test the project, it might actually get off the ground.

Every time asks me what the "word on the street" is, my mind goes here: http://video.adultswim.com/space-ghost-coast-to-coast/chuck-d-part-2.html

Paintball is alive and well, at least all the events we attend seem to be as well as the ones we host.:rolleyes:
