Amen, at scenarios I do it all the time, because when the enemy is stomping on our CP's doorstep, I'm the one who usually goes on the suicide mission running up to the bunker. Not, diving is not an option unless you want to get coated with paint...

well for me its not really a superman itss more like a dramatic high leap in to a creek or something like that. and incredibly Ive neveer been hit in my jumps even under heavy fire

Well if you're on a nice, slear grass speedball field I suppose I would dive all the time, but never in any other conditions unless I could see that I had a clear landing spot. Best to go in feet first, I think.

I might do a semi dive/roll/end up in kneeling position ready to fire move that I have perfected. It's cool, and moderately effective.

Yeah in woodsball I usually don't dive .. rocks or trees can hurt.. hahah
But if I see a clear spot I might try it someday

It's pretty rare for me. The fields I play at aren't the best for head-first diving. The roots, rocks, and uneven ground make it a death wish.

I give it a shot at the indoor fields once in a while, but because I'm usually playing in the woods I haven't perfected it. My superman dive bears striking resemblence to my belly-flop (OUCH!!!)

I can't recall ever actually doing that. I normally slide in on my legs. My shins are usually killing me by the end of the game. X_X Reason I prefer this is I can keep shooting the whole time and not loose sight of the OpFor until the last second.

I seldom to ever dive or even "slide". When I do slide it is on my feet with the only thing touching the ground being my FEET.

I try not to dive or slide with knees or other body parts sliding across the ground. Why? Well I could say it is because I am getting too old, or that I simply am too large to do it. But the truth is that sliding and diving like that on most woodsball or woods/town fields is what causes the most injuries.

Hitting a rock, stump, or root will ruin your day to say the least. And for what? The amount of time you think you are saving is not worth it. Play smart, play safe.

Now if you are on a speedball field or supair, etc. go for it. But those fields tend to be built a bit differently than your average woodsball field.

I slide instead of dive. I find they both do the same thing, get my body down giving less of a target. As Shartley said ^^ last time i slid i wrecked my knee for the day and couldnt run. What is woodsball if you can only limp? not that i sat out or anything i pay to play even ifi sit in the back longballing. That said i rarely slide or dive but if its your play style then go ahead and do it, just be careful.
