Rick "Mr. Dead Guy" Pittilla I first started playing paintball in the mid-80's when my grandmother got my brother and I gotcha guns. After using up all the cartridges we had, I packed it up in boxes and forgot about them. Then in 1999, a couple friends kidnapped me one morning and drove to Top Gun to play some open play. After that game, I went out and bought a Spyder 2000 and was playing every weekend. I was hooked on paintball again. We made another trip to Top Gun and saw an ad for Quest 2000 at EMR. Thinking this sounded like a cool game, my team headed up to check out the game. As we drove up the driveway of Emr we passed the castle. Without looking at the other field they had I thought to myself "This is my new home field" and I have been heading to EMR ever since. With my first trip to EMR, I meet Blue, Amy the Girl, and JR, who were at the time selling paintball stickers, and we became friends. After playing along side with Demaskus for a few years they asked me to join the team. In 2003, Blue started Blue's Crew. At their first game at West Point, I became the first "ass" member of the team. Through out the season, I ran with the crew with my camera taking photos for the EMR websites. It was an honor for me when Blue asked me to join Blue's Crew as a full member and I am looking foward to many more years of playing with the Blue and the Crew.
