Great Ways to Enjoy Indoor Paintball
When paintball is being brought to discussion, most people would think of woods, trees, bridges, mud, rain, in short the outdoors. Paintball can indeed be fun when playing in the outdoors, hiding in the trees, bushes, and becoming dirty. However, indoor paintball field game is as fun as its opposite number. There are really plenty of paintball locations found within firms or certain centers. Why should you play paintball indoors?
Perhaps the question is why not? Playing the game inside can actually be fun. Most places offering such places are essentially creative in making unique rooms to add to the fun. There are rooms made to be actually dark and others; there are options to make a choice between unlike in the outdoors. What are the advantages of Indoor Paintball?
You don’t have to worry about mosquitoes in the summer as well. Neither do you think about feeling cold in the wintertime. You can play paintball in any season inside. Indoor paintball stations have different surroundings intended for high power games. 2. Smoke machines and other distractions are specially created for indoor paintball fields. This makes the surroundings more unique, adding to the fun and excitement. 3. Some indoor paintball are open late especially for people who are too busy at work in the mornings. Centers open late are profitable for office workers who want to blow off some time after work and have fun with associates or even with their family. This is actually one reason why indoor paintballs are gaining popularity.
What’s the rule of the game?
The rules don’t really differ with paintball played outdoors. It is played between groups but can also be played individually if that’s how the players need it. The object of the game, as you would have already known is to shoot all the members of the away team. A game can last mins to hours depending on the skills of the players.
Sportsmanship is emphasised in this game. Sore losers won’t have fun but people that love the challenge will do.

Grand National Fallers and Finishers
It is a well known fact that not every horse that starts the Grand National will finish it. Many horses fall and the worst Grand National for fallers was in 1929 when a record number of 66 runners saw only 10 complete the course. Some of these were pulled up, but at least 40 of them were fallers. In 1927 only 2 of the 42 starters finished the race, but at least half of these were pulled out, so cannot be classified as fallers.In 1951 the Grand National was nicknamed the ‘Grand Crashional’ when 33 of the 36 horses fell or were brought down. Other bad years were 1921 when 31 of 35 runners fell, 1922 when 27 of 33 came down, 1911 with 21 out of 26, 1913 with 16 out of 22, and 2001 when 31 out of 40 fell.In 2001, one bookmaking company offered odds of 6-1 against all 40 runners getting over the first fence due to the horrendously bad marshy conditions. Two fell at the first fence, three at the second, another three at the third, and two at the fourth. Only four horses completed the course.Cloncarrig has the undesired record of falling in the Grand National – the brown gelding raced for six successive years (1948 ? 1953) and fell every single time. This is worse when you realise that in the 1950 race he led the field, until he fell at the penultimate fence, and in 1951 he was 10-1 second joint favourite but fell due to the stampede caused by the failure to call a false start. In his last appearance he was 13 years old and a rank outsider at 66-1.One of the myths of the Grand National is that a previous fall during the race is a likely to prevent success in the Grand National in future years. In fact there have been a number of comeback wins – Manifesto in 1897, Early Mist in 1953, Sundew in 1957, Team Spirit in 1964, West Tip in 1986 and Red Marauder in 2001, to name but a few. However this does not indicate that a horse who falls in a race prior to the Grand National will have success, but for one exception ? Rhyme ‘N’ Reason, the winner in 1988 who had slipped on landing over the fourth last in the Cheltenham Gold Cup. In the 1990s out of the nine winners only one had fallen in the season of his Grand National win.The highest number of finishers in a Grand National race was in 1984 when 23 out of the 40 runners completed the race, with Hello Dandy coming up front. 22 finished in 1963 when there were 47 runners and also in 1987 and 1992 when there were 40 runners. The percentages of finishers increased when they sloped the fences in 1961, but there will always be fallers in the Grand National as it is such a tough race. Even since further modifications in 1990 there have been races where only a few have completed ? in 1998 there were but 6 finishers and in 2001 there were only 4! Read the rest of this entry »
Grand National Lady Riders
In 1982 Geraldine Rees riding Cheers became the first female jockey to complete the Grand National course and in the history of the race just fourteen women have ridden and just four have completed the course. They are Geraldine Rees, the last of eight finishers on Cheers in 1982, Rosemary Henderson who came fifth in 1994 on Fiddlers Pike, Carrie Ford took fifth place on Forest Runner in 2005, and Nina Carberry came ninth on Forest Gunner in 2006.It wasn’t until 1971 that the Jockey Club agreed to let women ride under Rules in Britain and then only in amateur races on the Flat. In May of the next year the first all-women jockeys’ race was won by the 50-1 shot Scorched Earth ridden by Meriel Tufnell. Meriel went on to become a champion rider in Britain and Europe, but it was not until 1975, when Meriel retired, that women were allowed to ride against professionals. Although change was in the air, the idea of ladies being allowed to ride in the National Hunt was strongly resisted. The introduction of the Sex Discrimination Act came into effect in January 1976 and Diana Thorne became the first woman to ride a winner under the National Hunt rules. In April that year Charlotte Brew became the first woman to complete one circuit of the National course. By finishing first and last in the Greenall Whitley Fox Hunters’ Chase, Brews horse Barony Fort had qualified for the Grand National. So on April 2, 1977 history was made as the 21 year old Brew became the first woman to ride in the Grand National, successfully clearing 26 of the 30 fences before her horse gave up at the fourth last. This was the same year that Red Rum won his third National, so the only attention given to Miss Brew was Red Rum’s trainer Ginger McCain declaring that the Grand National was no place for female riders.McCain was not the only one opposed to female riders and this was even more concentrated in 1979 when Jenny Hembrow, a former champion point-to-point rider suffered a heavy first fence fall on Sandwilan. But she is one of just two women to have two cracks at the race ? she tried again the following year on the same horse and got to the 19th before pulling up. The 19th also proved to be the downfall of the race for Linda Sheedy who rode Deiopea in 1981. Geraldine Rees became the first woman to complete the course when Cheers came 8th (and last) in 1982 but didn’t do so well the following year when she rode Midday Welcome who fell at the first.Valerie Alder fell eighth at the Canal Turn in 1984 on Bush Guide. In 1987 Jacqui Oliver was unseated on the 15th. 1988 saw the first and only triple challenge by lady riders ? Gee Armytage on Gee-A, Veneita Williams on Marcolo and Peny Ffitch-Heyes on Hettinger. Hettinger fell at the first, while Marcolo crashed out at Bechers after safely negotiating five fences. Gee Armytage had the most promising ride of the three and Gee-A briefly disputed the lead but had to be pulled up after Becher’s on the second circuit, due to Miss Armytage pulling a muscle in her back.Only one lady rider secured a place in the line-up in 1989 ? Tarnya Davis on Numerate who jumped well enough but was exhausted on the sticky ground and had to be pulled up at the 21st. In 1994 Rosemary Henderson was dubbed the ‘galloping granny’ due to her 51 years, though in reality she had no children. Even though jockeys were required to have a minimum of 15 winners under the Rules, Ms Henderson was granted dispensation because of her wide experience in point-to-points where she had been successful 39 times. She became the second woman to finish the National on Fiddlers Pike.Carrie Ford came fifth in 2005 on Forest Gunner after a lot of media speculation that Ford may have been the first lady rider to win the race. She had won with Forest Gunner over the National fences in the 2004 Fox Hunters Chase just 10 weeks after giving birth, and she lacked nothing in experience having ridden her first point-to-point at the tender age of 16, and had 99 rides against professional jockeys. The great joy of her placement of fifth was that she came five places ahead of Amberleigh House whose trainer Ginger McCain had threatened to bare his bum if a lady rode the winner of the National.In 2006 Nina Carberry took over the ride of Forest Gunner, but sadly her credentials were not matched to the horse ? he was now 12 years old, 3lb heavier and past his best, but despite all this they still managed to come ninth.Women are asserting themselves more and more in the world of sport and it will only be a matter of time before a woman is given the opportunity to ride an outstanding chaser in the Grand National!
