Hey guys.

So usually I play woodsball, but at my local course they have a speedball type field. Barely anyone showed up to Open Play so it was really boring today. Anyways, I tried speedball, but it was only 2 on 2 (a ref had to play to make teams even). Yea 2 on 2 was brutal.

Anyways. Before a ref yells 3,2,1 GO, my partner and I say where we are going. He says he will go right, so I take left. The snake bunker is on the left so I figured I would give it a try. I barely got into the bunker without getting hit, but I made it. I made my way to the others side of the snake rather quickly, without having anyone see me. I did the crawl where I kind of throw my outside leg in front of me and made my way up. I popped out and there was a guy 20 feet to my right, and another guy standing about 100 feet to my right. I took them both out with a few shots.

This so far this has been my favorite snake play Hopefully I have more to come

Anyone else have some magnificent snake plays?

In snake I haven't really done anything extrodinary. I'm decent, but prefer dorito side. I have some pretty epic fails in snake though. Like trying to jump over it, tripping and breaking a pod when I landed on my back.

I have tried dorito, but I find that my size helps me play snake 5 foot 4

[Ecellg]

5' 11'' and still growing, not exactly designed for snake play. Oh, and on the instance above I took a shower in paintballs when my cheap hopper opened and dumped on me. That was when I was still using my 98C

At the woodsball place I go to they also have a small speedball course. Even though I like to play in the woods more, I find I play more aggressively on the speedball course. Almost every time I play on the speedball course, I find myself in the snake. The last time I went paintballing, it was a 3 v 3 on the speedball course and I took snake and was able to sneak up and surrender all 3 on the other team.

Well, my dad is 6'1'', my mom is 5'9'', and my brother is 6'. I wear a size 14 shoe, which is bigger than all of my family, and I'm still only 15 so I gotz lots more growing years.

Believe it or not, a snake player's best attribute is patience. Patience will get you many many kills.

[Flippy the Wonder Bunny]

Being able to post on people will really help you in the snake. It's not so much about running and gunning up the snake as it is about waiting for the cross field shots.

[Mitch Force]

I'm 5'11" and I fit in the snake just fine. It just comes down to patience, like HSP said, and timing.

Ah, you snake players, always bragging.

You know, all you really are is little remote controlled death machines that are there to do the backman's bidding, right?

[Pirate]

As someone that's moved from Snake to Back, I know EXACTLY what EthrealWolf is talking about XD "Snakeman, Get the guy in the Rollie, your 10 o'clock!" *Snakeman gets him* "Thanks!" *I pull a run-through on the last guy*

I used to murder in the snake...back in 2000-2002, when I was 10-12 and small. I played tourneys with my cousin and his friends (who were all high high school). I got the spot because they needed someone small and fast to play snake/front. I had been playing for about 6 months, and all rec/woods. First game I play with them was a local 3-man. They just told me "Run as fast as you can, stay low, and get as close to those low bunkers as you can. Then crawl up that side and shoot people in the side."

So when they started the game, I just bolted. I played baseball at the time, so I just thought "steal home". As I got close, I did a perfect head first slide and slid into Snake 1. Got set and checked my marker (marking sure nothing broke when I slid), and leaned out. I didn't see anyone looking down the line, so I moved up to Snake 2...then 3, then 4, then 5. Apparently the team we were playing didn't go snake side, and my team had pinned them all in the back row. The never saw me run to the snake because I was so small, so I ran to their back corner, then came up behind each player and shot them in the ass. Being 10, that was the funniest thing in the world. I almost got shot by my own team as I came back to get the flag.

That's really my best story. I played for a couple years, and had some pretty sweet moves (pulled a Rocky Cagnoni once, jumped over the snake, ran down the highway, and jumped back over, bunkering the guy). He was the last player on the team, we still had 4 bodies, so I thought it'd be fun.

Then in 03 my knee got blown apart playing catcher (almost complete ACL tear, damaged some other ligaments, and my knee cap now moves around). Now, I don't play snake so much
