Narrative Essay About Paintball

Upon one’s initial glance the sport of barrel racing might seem as though it is a very basic, straightforward, and even easy sport to achieve a high level of success. However, barrel racing is exactly the opposite. To be a highly skilled barrel racer it takes far more than just agility, strength, and trust from both the horse and its rider. It takes a great deal of patience to learn, be taught, and to have trust in every aspect of this sport. This is a fast paced sport that requires a great deal of dedication, skill, and motivation from every competitor, and horse, regardless of their age or skill level. Along with the above stated skills comes an extremely high level of danger, that I sadly got to witnessed first hand. Every aspect of this

Throughout my years, I have mostly been associated with flag football. Stepping onto a football field takes a lot of guts and there was a time when I had to overcome my own doubts. Back in the Fall of 2015, my sophomore year, I was still a shrimp compared to my superior teammates. Every practice I would exhaust myself to prove my worthy to be on the team, but even more, on the field. Although I was the only player aiming to be quarterback, it did not mean I did not have to try. The second practice started, I felt rumbles within my heart. Of course Juniors and Seniors doubted my skill, that’s no surprise. I was determined to earn their respect no matter what.

I thought to myself who had done this but most of all I wanted to get revenge so in the next round I would leave mercy behind me and that's when I realized my love of paintball. When i was a child and my brother would come back with his friends from paintballing he would show me the perfect circle bruises he got and that scared me to a point where i thought that getting hit by a bus would be better.

After a very long day of packing and loading things into our trailer, me, my brother, and my parents decided to hit the road and get to our campsite out in the desert. The trip was only about an hour drive and as soon as we arrived, we set up camp immediately. My dad is very dexterous and set up our fancy house tent in no time. The tent was a weird beige and orange color that had fake windows and everything, which means that it was pretty ostentatious because my family didn’t need a tent of that size. By that time it was getting dark so we just all piled our things in the tent and dozed off. In the morning, we all got breakfast and played around until about noon, when we decided to take our two ATV’s for a spin. I put on my little red

I rose from my bed with the sun shining in my face. The previous day I had a friend spend the night, so we woke up, the first thing that we did was play some video games for an hour. Then as we were playing I realized that we were gonna meet other people at the skate park, a person there was a professional, amateur, skater!!! So we got dressed real quick had some cinnamon bun’s then left. As i was packing up I brought my skateboard, which I was trying to get better at by asking people at the skatepark to teach me, and my scooter in case I wanted to just chill and ride.

Due to negative connotations, Skateboarders are looked upon as lawbreakers and trespassers. Police officers do not show the least amount of remorse to this lifestyle. Skate parks in towns and cities are scarce. This enables skaters to find other spots due to the lack of effort shown to have made more skate parks. Skateboarders are often categorized and labeled as reckless vandals. This accusation must be reconsidered because statistics show officers use excessive force, Injury Surveillance Systems show eye-opening results of skateboarding injuries compared to other sports, and how skate laws desperately need revisions due to the vagueness of the rules we need to stand by. Now, skaters stand up to defend their lifestyle, hobby, addiction and

All the kids were split into two cars. All was well and we were driving behind Heather’s car, then out of nowhere there was this big gigantic jagged rock. We swerved then bam I heard a pop and the car leaned to one side and not because of the steering wheel. Bad news, the car was pulled over and Heather hadn’t seen us. She finally came back after she realized we weren't driving behind her. While she was gone we tried changing the tire but something went wrong, I think it was the bolts you use to put the tire on. The bolts wouldn’t screw on. Then we waited some more and other people from my mom’s team pulled over to help. Next the adults all talked about the tire and what they were going to do to fix it.The people who pulled over to help us had to go all the way back to camp to get the things they needed to help. It was the worst feeling we couldn’t do anything. All we did was sit around bored and trying to make up games when they got back we finally got the tire on, but it took about seven hours because of the tire delay. I was so tired when we finally got home I didn’t even bother unpacking or anything I just went to bed.

We looked for an hour but I finally found it. It was purple with two squares at the

It’s not just a Friday night out with friends, and certainly not just cosmic bowling under black lights. It’s not just a cliche birthday party planned for a five year old. It’s not just a Monday night league where your father comes late after a few beers. No, not at all. To some it may seem that’s all it is, but I am here to prove to anyone who says otherwise that is not the case.

The hockey player has to prepare for the shot that he aspires to take. If he desires a shot that is high, he must shift the puck forward, which may decrease the energy transfer though will produce a shot with greater height. To begin, the player leads their shoulder in the direction that they want the puck to proceed. This is a crucial key to successfully preparing for the shot. Afterwards, the player will align their feet, shoulders, as well as their hips square to the puck. Next, to lower their centre of mass, the player should bend their knees. Subsequently, to widen their base of support, they must spread their feet apart. Consequently, they will remain stable (balanced) for their

I’ll never forget the day of fall 2011 it was a very warm day; I could smell the freshness of fallen leaves blowing in the wind I could remember it like it was yesterday.

It was a typical day nice out wet grounds from the morning dew crunchy leaves blowing all over the place. We all met up at my uncle’s house to gather up all our supplies and to have breakfast. After breakfast we put our stuff in the trunk of the car and headed off to the woods. We met up with six other players at the off road parking lot that was down the street we grab our stuff and rushed into the woods.

As we got all our stuff to getter we took picture to post on Facebook and to keep as memories of our first paint ball game.
