Answer by summer ’08! ♥
noo. you can cradle from a half. basket tosses are just a lot more difficult and you always go from an extention and you do a trick in the air. like for example toe touch. im a flyerr and basket tosses are pretty hard to do. a cradle you just pop up your hips and taco. (basically youu have to ride it down).

Umm well I’m a base and backspot, and I can tell you from experience it is MUCH easier to toss the girls higher if the load in ON THEIR TOES!!! It helps send their weight STRAIGHT up in stead of out…ZO ther than that….make sure your bounce in good from the ground…but that all depends if you are doing a load in, pause and then shot, or shotting as soon as your feet hit…from the base perspective the girls go higher if you shot the as soon as they hit the bases hands. To make sure you go high, ride the pop.. ALL THE WAY UP… our flyer used to kick out before she hit the top and it took a good two feet off her toss, but ride it until you feel yourself coming back down, and when you’re coming out pop into a cradle postion…. ALSO to add height make sure you push off the bases shoulders when they shoot you up….other than that, just practice, Practice, and PRACTICE!!! Good luck!!!

I love a bargain as much as anyone and I used to love all the cheap stuff I could find on eBay, but nowadays it seems so hard to find anything cheap over there and just when we’re all finding it tougher to just pay our bills. I don’t give up so I was looking for someplace online where I could still find myself a bargain… and by accident I came across this site I never heard of before where you get rock bottom prices from police impounded stuff, I mean I was worried about scams but this stuff is actually real and I got some real cheap stuff there… it’s become my new eBay lol!

Question by dtdancer_laura: Can anyone give me advice on a basket toss and a Liberty in Cheerleading?
The last couple of days I’ve been attempting a basket toss. Just one that goes straight up. I have a lot of trouble with it, I tend to stand at the wrong time or jump. Does anyone have advice.

Liberty- Last year I finally learned how to do a Lib. This new season in cheerleading I’m having trouble agian. I get up into the Lib but then I can’t hold it and I fall, I never make it to a cradle. Can anyone help?

Answer by abercrombielover
for the basket toss make sure you really push your self up and for the lib. focus on something ahead,DON’T LOOK DOWN. Also for the lib ssqueezeyour butt cheeks it sounds funny but like think there is a penny there and you cant let i fall believe me it works! You could also practice standing on a can to keep your balance.
