Here is the Basket Toss from the side:
The Basket Toss can be used for a variety of stunts and skill levels. As shown above, intermediate cheerleaders can use the basic Basket Toss to add flair to their stunts by just using a small toss and having Flyer just "ride it out" in the basic arch position. For advanced cheerleaders, the Basket Toss can be used to through a variety of stunts like twists, back tucks, and jumps.
Tips:
- Make sure the bases watch each other the make sure they are all on the same timing.
- Make sure all of the Bases and Spotters watch the Flyer in the air and move just in case to catch her.
- Make sure the Flyer is tossed straight UP and not to the side.
