What happens if you play Paintball on your 18. Birthday?

Correct, you get recruited as a Tournmentplayer.

Paintball is not that popular as it is in america, but we working on it. I come from the time where you can have as much paint as you want in the Tournment… Means we were these colourfull guys playing on field full of bouncy castle.

I keep the ID Cards and aswell my latest “marker”. Don't be fooled i was playing tippi or snake and if i am on the run nothing stops me. You paint me?= I do a superman there is no paint anymore...

Also i keep my Jerseys for MTB usage :P

I may not have signed sports memorabilia, but I cherish my collection of medals, especially one from participating in a 5km event at the World Championship. While it's not a winner's medal, it holds immense personal value. It symbolizes a significant milestone in my recovery and return to normalcy following leg surgery. This medal is a testament to perseverance and taking a crucial step in my healing journey.

Nice! I'm envious of anyone who can do long distance running. I'm following the Couch 2 5K programme at the moment in the hopes I'll be able to do a 5K by the summer, but I'm finding it quite a slog!

Thanks, the motivation is the key.

I'm a big Manchester United fan! I've had family from there and I've always supported them since a boy. I follow them each and every week. I think without a doubt my favourite sports memorabillia would be a bunch of signed cards from the players from over the years.

Woohoo, another United fan! Love love love these - I have such a soft spot for Fabien Barthez, loved the bloke. Louis Saha too. Looking forward to seeing more United-themed bounty submissions!

Thank you so much! So glad you can appreciate these as much as me! You'll have to get yourself some!

Sports entertainment is still sports right?

In one of the few live wrestling events I was able to go to in the late 90's around 12 -13 I was told by my mother that I could get 1 THING from the merch booth to mark the occasion. With joy in my heart I selected the foam Stone Cold Steve Austin middle finger. My request was soundly denied and I believe I ended up leaving with a Kane mask.

20 plus years later I get a stimulus check from the government due to COVID. Ordered this for 100 CAD.

First thing I did was send a picture to my mom.

To be fair a Kane mask is awesome too!

Probably this hat from 2003. My grandpa always had a talent for sourcing the coolest trinkets from all over the world, and this is just one of many he gave me. Not only is it a cool piece of history, it also just looks cool and I can imagine still wearing it today.

Ah that is ace. I have a Ferrari T-shirt from when my dad worked a merch stand for them at Silverstone before I was born that I treasure a lot!

Ford can I ask, does our own sporting past count towards this? I used to compete internationally as a teenager in track and field so have some cool pics from my time doing that, great memories!

Of course! As long as it's a physical item, anything sports related is fair game.
