Hey guys,
Some of you are asking why I'm selling off so much of my stuff at crazy prices and a few have asked if I'm quiting Airsoft!
First of all the prices, I'm selling the stuff to you guys first as I want to people i know to benifit from the gear im selling, yes i can get more for it on e-bay but i originally started writting reviews to prevent people from buying Lemons and Duds especaily in the UK where Airsoft is very expensive. So this is carry on from that. I want new people to enjoy the sport or serious plays/collectors to obtain something that might be out of thier budgets.
The second question, Am i quiting Airsoft??? well the answer is no, not right now. Some of you are aware of my past profession and Im more geared to Mil-sim playing. I've been playing in Japan now for 9 years and I'm no looking for more mission, scenario, mil-sim based games and will try to help the TK organisers out in setting these kind of game days up. Myself and Lionel have already had a chat about some fun ideas that put a HUGE spin on normal CTF games.
So where is all this money going? Back in the UK I used to race road bikes and mountain bike semi-professionaly for about 8 years and was forced out of the sport due to a broken knee. About 4 years ago I had surgery on my knee to repair the back of the Kneecap and patella and have been under going training and physio to get the leg back up to strength and have been training to reduce my weight but also to build the muscle back up.
About two week ago I was out training on the bike and was approached by a team here in Yokohama that ride stage races and time trials to join thier team. This is something that I have been interested in doing for some time now espeacilly in Japan as my height gives me an advantage over the local competition (yeah I know, but an edge on the competion is still an edge) So basically the money is going towards a custom built road bike for racing on. These are hand built in Italy and don't come cheap
So keep buying my stuff people.... I might get a TKOverkill logo onn the jersey! hahahaha
Basically I'm buying the best i can afford as the frame is the most important part of the bike and lasts many years.
So just thought I would answer all the questions here in one go!

. However I think you're missing the point...."an eye for an eye" here could have adverse effects.
