| The jumps season kicks into top gear this weekend with The Open Meeting at Cheltenham as the battle continues to be crowned Stobart Champion Jump Jockey. It takes incredible drive, determination and commitment, both on and off the track, for a rider to reach the top and this video takes a look at what they have to go through.A great deal of a jockeys time is spent doing physical exercise - riding horses in the morning as part of their training regime and riding at the races as well as running or spending time at the gym. With racecourses spread across the country they also spend a lot of time travelling to and from the races and a jump jockey will typically drive up to 70,000 miles a year in search of winners.This is the equivalent to driving around the equator nearly three times every year. It also amounts to nearly 1,200 hours a year in the car, which is the equivalent to 50 days.In the saddle, a jockey will jump around 7,000 obstacles (hurdles and fences) during a season - stacked on top of one another, that is almost the height of Mount Everest, while on average, a jockey will fall one in every 17 rides.Click play to watch the video and see what it takes to become Stobart Champion Jump Jockey.

Mayo made seven three-pointers and scored 25 points, Ersan Ilyasova added 20, and the Milwaukee Bucks placed seven players in double figures in a 130-110 rout of the Philadelphia 76ers, who lost their 11th straight game on Monday night.BOSTON - Make no mistake: New England fans are pumped, not deflated.As the NFL investigates how footballs got deflated during the AFC Championship game, and detractors accuse the team of cheating, very little air seems to have gone out of Patriots Nation and its Super Bowl euphoria.Die-hard fans have been poking fun at the latest controversy swirling around the franchise. There are Deflatriots bumper stickers, Deflaters Gonna Deflate T-shirts and even Deflategate cookies shaped like saggy little footballs with icing laces.Much ado about nothing, said David Schultz, who works in IT in Boston.I think its ridiculous. Its like theyre going after Brady and Belichick, said David Ellis, a civil engineer from Falmouth.Patriots fans are used to playing defence.Theyre still fending off criticism of Spygate — revelations that New England videotaped the New York Jets signals during a 2007 game. Coach Bill Belichick was fined $500,000, and the team was fined $250,000 and stripped of its 2008 first-round draft choice by the league.For several years, the Patriots have been the team the rest of America loves to hate, in part because of their success. Eight Super Bowl berths and three NFL titles (the last in 2004) will do that to a team.Quarterback Tom Bradys good looks and supermodel wife probably dont help. Nor does Belichicks trademark scowl, worn on and off the field, with or without the hoodie. Those who revile New England accuse it of hypocrissy for using underinflated balls while preaching the Patriot way — Belichicks insistence that his players avoid trash talk and do their jobs.dddddddddddd.Little wonder, then, that social media would blow up over Deflategate, which was trending Thursday on Twitter. Or that Pats fans would laugh off that and other hashtags, which have included Belicheat, Ballghazi and Hate-riots.Nick Stevens, a popular online Boston sports commentator whose alter ego is Fitzy, has a simple if crude response to anyone who suggests the Patriots gained an unfair advantage over the Colts and cheated their way to Glendale, Arizona:Deflate this.We ignore the noise, embrace the hate. Its the coal that fires our engines, he says in a mock Patriots news conference circulating on YouTube.Its not just New England fans who are having a little fun at the teams expense. Krispy Kreme tweeted an ad showing a football-shaped doughnut with the line: Ours are fully filled.Etsy stores sprang up overnight, hawking shirts with slogans such as They hate us cause they aint us, a reference to a line James Franco uses in his latest movie with Seth Rogen, The Interview.Critics insist the Patriots legacy will be forever tarnished no matter the outcome on Feb. 1. But faithful fans like Luis Mariano arent buying that.Right now its the Patriots vs the world, he said. And Im sticking with the Patriots.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/ap_nfl Wholesale NFL Jerseys cheap nfl jerseys ' ' ' |
