Painful Hobbies
Discussion
My sons Birthday today, he has been harping on for weeks about wanting to go paint balling. Had heard some horror stories about it but after much carping on I gave in and thought how bad can it be.......................Holy s
t, I am in serious pain.
Never again, why the fk would anyone subject themselves to this st on a regular basis, I have big fk off round bruise's all over my body, it really stings like fk when you get shot, I am nearly deaf from fking paint grenades going of 3 cm from my lug hole. At close range it like getting fked with a baseball bat. It did not help that I was the only idiot dumb enough to charge into the fort, then again only after much encouragement from one of marshals (that said everyone else was supposed to as well, no doubt my rallying battle cry and brave run obviously never inspired my comrades though as I found myself getting hammered repeatedly by all the defenders in the fort from a distance of arms length on my own). My lungs are also totally screwed from the amount of smoke I inhaled from the smoke bombs and I suspect I have broken a bone in my foot.
Really, why do people do this, are there any other sports or hobbies that you lot take part in that provide the innocent participant with much unexpected pain, if so please let me know and I will note them carefully for future avoidance.

Just wait until you try and walk/sit down/use stairs tomorrow.
Enjoy.
There already, we went on Sunday. I am currently incapable of standing up without assistance and can only manage the stairs backwards. Enjoy.
Pen, the deep heat is already almost done, not capable of getting to the chemist for more though as getting in and out of the car is a bit of trial.
Woodsball is for parties and fat middle aged blokes only.
This is how proper paintball is played:

Tournament paintball is a muilt-billion pound sport.

Can't you just press 'Load Game' and do it again differently?
This isn't on Xbox is it?
The pain gives you an incentive to not get shot. When you're hiding behind a barrel or something and you can hear the shots ricocheting off, you genuinely feel worried which gets the adrenaline going. God knows how soldiers manage though as I'm often surprised when I get shot without even seeing who got me. If I was in a war, my nuts and guts would be hanging out within minutes with me just weakly crying 'WWwwhhyyy..?' at the sky.
I've spent about 13 years regularly doing this kind of thing...

Enduro Racing, I was back on the bike for the first time properly again at the weekend since I dislocated my shoulder 2 months ago. Straight back into a full on 24hr off road race, 18 mile laps in a welsh forrest with some pretty extreme hill climbs and river sections, there was no rest what so ever while on a lap. I can just about walk again today but yesterday and monday were written off, I woke up monday morning and every single part of my body hurt, even my fingers and for some reason my tongue were sore. It's the second time I've done this race and although after last year I said it was hard, after this year I have said never again.
