I more enjoy being at the front, that’s just my playing style. I usually end up playing on my own, if I do end up leading on the field I like to be the first person off the hill and having everyone else follow.” HOW DID YOU GET YOUR NICKNAME ALABASTERSLIM? Photo by Sheldon Carless “I got my nickname back in college, when I attended a school called Queens University. There is an initiation that the first years have to complete which includes climbing this tall greased poll. When we hit our 3rd year we bought these fur coats and all jumped in the water and would splash them while they tried to climb this poll. I had my fur coat on with these cut off jean shorts and no shirt on, so we all looked like pimps. That was when they gave me my pimp name “AlabasterSlim”, I continued to use that name in video games and when I started into paintball it followed me.” WHAT DO YOU HAVE PLANNED FOR 2016? “I plan on continuing to go to awesome games. I have a calendar that I keep on my website that shows what games I will be attending in 2016. I continue to update it as I want, there will not be as much traveling this year since I traveled a lot last year. I will be attending a lot more walk on style games this year, getting back into that scene.” • • • Check out AlabasterSlim’s calendar for 2016 here: www.alabasterslim.com/calendar.php Be sure to also check out his YouTube channel here: www.youtube.com/user/TheAlabasterSlim 062 paintball.media magazine
