Rockin' Cocks and RC Revolution at PTS in Aldie

This past Sunday a Rockin’ Cocks 3 man team traveled up to Aldie Virginia and met up with the RC Revolution to compete in the March 22nd PEV’s Tournament Series. The Rockin’ Cocks fielded O-face, Spoon and Frieda in the Novice division with sideline support from Wimpy and Carly. The RC Revolution fielded D-Kay, Cap’n, and it’s newest edition Brandon (cheesy nickname in the works) in the Rookie division. Slippy and Snax made an appearance to support their teams along with friends Will and Rusty who supported and played some rec ball with some pumps and bandannas.

The Rockin’ Cocks started strong with O-face pulling out a 1 v 2 for a win. The Cocks won the next game too, but even with some other great moments no more wins came down the pike. Nevertheless participants and onlookers demonstrated their appreciation and respect for the Rockin’ Cock pump game.

The RC Revolution came out blazing with a string of great wins. All players played tight and Cap’n earned his namesake with his commanding demands of ‘Get that guy out’. The Revolution deservedly made the finals but, because of the flukiness of paintball, finished 4th place. That ain’t bad at all.

After both teams finished their part in the tournament, they merged into the RC Army and headed to the rec fields. The following hour of paintball may very well be the most amusing hour I’ve ever witnessed. As a vacation from the competitive tournament paintball personality, the RC Army decided to work on their Swat tactical paintball techniques. Shouts of: ‘Attack formation delta!’, ‘Cover me while I clear the next target’, ‘REEEELOAAADIIIING!’, and the frequent ‘MOVE MOVE MOVE!’ could be heard across the field. Other than the ridiculous faux tactical jargon my personal favorite 3 moments from least to greatest:

3) O-face, Freida, Spoon and Carly pulling the synchronized barrel role from behind a log at the beginning of the game.
2) Slippy taking the field with a Squad buster grenade and 5 paintballs in his hand and immediately tying up the center 50 for about 5 minutes.
1) Frieda’s unforgettable commando crawl to the right 50 despite the grueling 10 minute effort… not to mention the fact that there was no possible enemy contact for the first 8 minutes. Thanks for that buddy.

As per usual, the Army joined for a meal before everyones respective journeys home. Great day of play all around.

Rockin' Cocks Take 3rd at Liberty

A 3-man faction of the Rockin' Cocks (and our beloved cameraman) showed up to to represent at Liberty's Tournament on Saturday, March 21st. Thanks to some local ballers, we arrived without getting lost. The majority of the venue was under construction, but that made it all the more fun. Rockin' Cocks fielded Spoon, Amish and U.A. Carl. It was a fairly small gig, only six "3-man" teams, and three "5-man." The day started off a bit later than expected. But when the Liberty folks started, they didn't stop. The schedule was organized so that each team played every other team twice; then finials would be announced.

The Rockin' Cocks started off well. Losing only one body in the first game, and maxing the next two. They kept up that same momentum throughout the day with a loss here and there. Amish and Carl locked down the D-side of the field while Spoon did damage from the snake. There were lots of hushed wispers after a few of the wins, but nobody was sure if it was because of the paint that was slung or Amish's dirty mouth throught the game.

The Rockin' Cocks took second in points and after a crushing loss in the finials ended up taking 3rd. Congrats to KlockWork who took first (and some sweet trophies) and NSG who took second. The Liberty staff was top notch, and ran the entire tournament extremely well. All of the players and spectators were friendly as could be. There was even warm delicous food for sale during the break. With some fantastic views, and wonderful people, the RC Army is sure to return to Liberty in the near future.

Another Hot CCM Product

In case you don't know, CCM makes some of the hottest pump guns on the planet.  The SS-25, S5 and S6 are in the hands of a lot of pump players and the upcoming J2L and Prototype are soon to follow.  Even those that don't have a full CCM marker know a little bit of CCM goodness goes a long way.  Their pump kits and frames are top notch. 

Not only does CCM make a great product but they've also got some of the best customer service.  They've helped me bring the Creamsicle Magic back into prime shape after picking it up on Ebay.  At the forefront of the service and tech support is Mel aka CCM Chick.  Well Mel has been working on a project of her own, a sick nasty Hello Kitty S6.  Enough jabber from me...check out the pics.

Jerseys for the Revolution: Part II

Wimpy and I did a little more sweatshopping this evening.  Managed to do some more damage on the Rev jerseys and even crank out a couple of test HF shirts.  With all of the paint and spray adhesive in the closed spaces we tend to take a little liberty with the names.  Click on the images below for larger pics. 

Here are the test HF shirts...yeah, that's pink! 

Jerseys for the Revolution

I got a little ambitious this evening while setting up the screen press and just decided to start running some jerseys.  There's 5 fresh new jerseys for the revolution plus a few extra for a couple of locals and future cocklings.  I started with the big "RC" logo on the rear.  Up next is the RC on the front, and then the rev fist.  We are still sorting out names for the revs but the process has begun.
