Cheerleading Basket Toss Video - How to do the Basket Toss

[au3rey]

It was pretty good straight through, but just remember not to bounce the flyer out of the cradle position, stay tight. It should be 2 different motions when you catch her, not just one long one.

And bases need to make sure to keep their backs straight. Good job.(:

[searcherlol]

hehehe we started doing to basket toss on hard grass lol weve onldone it on mats like 3 times :)

[Arinequa202]

i loooove doin the basket toss its easier to me in my opinion

[Chelseaandmeh]

The backspot/ third spotter or whatever isn't supposed to have his or her hands I. A fist in a craddle tree supposed to be straight fingers pointed together so that u don't punch ur top

[marissaluvscheer]

the "side base" is called a secondary base

[marissaluvscheer]

@fitforafeast you dont push tru your knees to get height because the bases give her height the flyer is supposed to ride the toss and push off the bases shoulders if she uses her knees she will brake the bases basket form

[Peace25252]

its not advanced at all and she didmt even ride it as high as she cud basket tosses r supposed to be way higher than that and usually u dont just go strait up try and x-out next time

[fitforafeast]

@Peace25252 this was just a how to demo - not a competition with the usual team members

[claudianicole1998]

Im the flyer and tomorrow we are trying this at practice. I don't understand what I'm supposed to do when I'm in the air

[4evrmiasumtymzlisa]

@claudianicole1998 stay tight and ride it.

[taylortots18]

I heard the basket toss is illegal now because too many people get hurt by it :/

[cheerflyerjillian]

@taylortots18 its not

[the2ns123]

she doesn't ride the basket toss.

[jalynejustin]

kewl video

[angellollypop191]

im a flyer and we did that in the first week its not that advanced if you want to make it more advanced maybe add a twist / backflip stradle

[trinityhiller1234]

It was good but im going into eighth grade and last year my squad got our flyer to go higher than that

[princessangel133]

im a backspot and i keep throwing the flyyer to s]the side



[damon7890]

@princessangel133 when you throw get more under neath or try throwing with the two main bases place your hand under theirs and throw strait up the flyer should be able to prep and enter the stunt without the back spot

[PrettyNicci101]

purplelurple123 its not scary at all its acually kinda fun!!

[xXExtremeairforce666]

That was good but you didn't get any hieght i mean i do this with a bunch of 10 yr old and they can throw higher btw im in 6th grade

and the chick with the yellow shorts over through u thats why yous went off to the side tell her next time to throw properly but yous were still good just keep up the good work and pratice practice practice!!<3<3

[cheerextremelover11]

Your only 65 lbs? No offense but I am 4 5in t'he 6th grade and way Moré than that!

[uoflava]

Doesn't @maybabytumbler cheer for "Cheer Force"?

[10197cheerchick]

okay so we did this and for the first like 20 times it was awesome but one time i was thrown to the side... what happened?!

[hedleyxxaddict]

@10197cheerchick one of your bases was most likely overthrowing the other (meaning one base was throwing harder than the other one)

[xXMariaLovesYouXx]

and scoop it like a icecream o.O

[JohnDeereIDAHO]

I just made my high school cheer squad. I'm 14 but only 4'9" and 65 lbs. my sister won state as the main flyer so everyone is expecting me to be amazing also. I'm watching all the how-to videos so thanx for posting this! =D

[islandergurl13]

coool (:

[horselover200098]

They barely tossed her!

[mandilovesyou1]

its easy. just have to do it right ! & they cold toss her higher

[mileycometoisrael]

one of my favorit videos!

[lollipops816]

it looks scary!=0

[XoElwhoaaa]

I wish that i could do this stuff ...

[SisCp44]

Omg... im probably going to be flyer (: (SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT) i cannot be a base. i cant even do a regular cradle xD little 6 year olds do that!! But i am the best of flyers. When i was 9 adults held me up to a full and did a cradle. it was so much fun!! :D

[jasmine683]

Also I'm only 10 years old and I do this

[redemptionmaddness]

I'd probably be scared to be the jumper! :O lol

[cheerleadingsister12]

i am a flyer at my school cheerleading may seem easy but can be hard and u have to be very carefully when u r a flyer because u can get very hurt ouch!!

[hellokaka33]

in my comp . we did 2 basket tosses ... they were really high .. so high tht the basket toss messed up the music routine

[4evercelina]

That's amazing. You guys should do more videos on cheerleading

[witchboy94]

How does a flyer pop out of her toss like say when she does a toe touch in the air? Because some flyers at my school have a problem of dropping their backs and that's illegal.

[milliesthebest]

OKay thats good but you didnt go very high im in a middle school and we go way higher.

[june5cheerleaderbaby]

is that cheer force omg i went their

[TheCheerChickaa]

that wasnt high ; but good technic

[NEBOVALMAZAH5]

My base speaks that when I do basket toss I am pushed from their hands and consequently it hard me to hold. But I don't notice it. Whether really the flyer should be pushed from hands of base and how i can corrected my basket toss?

[Flexiballity]

you guys bought adobe premiere?

[CassieNJennasAccount]

my friend does all of that!! u girls rock!!!!!!!!

[simmieism]

2:02 "and scoop it like an ice cream"

he really DID scoop that like an ice cream... :/

[GraceblythsChannel1]

we do this in my cheerleading :)

[YourHugIsMyDrug]

experienced cheerleaders and spotters? This was the first stunt my coach had me try, the very first day I came on the team xD And my spotter sucked. So. Yeah.

[colie44]

1. mains should keep their arms at 90 degrees, never drop them below or all the way down like u said.. 2. throw with ur legs, not your backs or chests. thats really bad. 3. back spot should put their hands around their ankles or under the main bases and try to push up faster then the main for an exploded effect. if they have their hands under the butt they could push forward and arent really helping for height. & for everyone who thinks she almost hit the fan, she wasnt even close. lol

[mstiktok10]

Fit for a feast whoo

[tokidomo17]

The flyer could of got her head chopped off by that fan @ 2:00

creepy O.o

[fitforafeast]

@tokidomo17 The angle of the camera makes the fan look close - but it is actually way over to the side and not above where the cheerleaders train.

[tokidomo17]

@fitforafeast Oh, OK :)

BTW nice basket toss

[iturnthalightsoff]

what if she hit her head on that fan? wounded.

[dimples4108]

wow close to a fan nice video lol

[lovetocheergurl123]

im a fleyer

[CHEER0325]

thanks this actually helped quite alot!

[TheBanana2014]

Hahahaaa. ;D I need to have Kim, Riley, and Isacc, help me on the basket toss ! (:

[shelbiej94]

fans!?

[PolkaDotCherries]

Word of advice to anyone who does basket tosses, it may sound stupid but NEVER scream in midair, it seems really high and scary the first time you do it, but if you make distracting noises there is a better chance that the bases will drop you

[kandeerox]

@PolkaDotCherries: Lol, I did my first high basket toss the other day and did just that haha

[ani2912]

i totally love when we used to do that on my cheerleading team

[CullenGurl88]

Me 2

[omgzJENNA]

cheer force. aha.

[thechevyman999]

basket backs are the best used to do them all the time but it gets you real tired

[IRISHKICK]

i'm the flyer. and were going to try this next practice. Does the flyer just hold her own weight? And when the bases are about to throw her up, does the flyer push her arms off the the bases shoulders to get more height?. I really need some tips

[fitforafeast]

you don't have to push on their shoulders, just for balance - you don't really need to push on their shoulders, you just need to bend your knees and push off with your legs to get height.

[rhiannacheer]

@fitforafeast im a flyer and you dont push of you legs because that would be classed as jumping and you have to push as hard as you can of the sholders :/

[Cheerleader4Life109]

yeah, well she mostly holds her own weight but can lean a little on the basket, but not so much that its hard to get her in the airrrr. and yeahh, u should push off. (be aware im no excpert i did my first one todayy, lol, thatjust what my coah told me.)

[rsmistletoe3]

some ppl say the flyer should hold her own weight and the backspot push from underneathe the bases hands, my team has personally found that that doesnt exactly work for us, but it might work for another team. but most teams, the backspot holds the flyers butt, and the whole group helps hold the flyers weight [including the flyer herself] and the flyer doesnt really need to push off the shoulders, but it could help depending

[borntodance1993]

@IRISHKICK yeah you use your arms to push off not you legs as you end up jumping rather than riding it ..... :)

[TheMonicaLambert]

@cheerleader4bc They probably can do toe touches and stuff in the air but because it is a tutorial they are just doing straight rides. My squad can pull pikes, toe touches, and do fulls with basket tosses and we're trying a ball out for our next comp. If anybody wants to go check out on my page is our routine from our latest competition.

[LitteMissPrincess]

we do our baskets different

when the flyer is standing on the bases hands the bases stand up and go really close to the flyers knees (like with their head) then the do a dip and trow her in the air and catch her...

[TheLakenator]

Check out my squad Iota High School Cheerleaders!! we do tons of baskets in our routine!!

[cheerleader4bc]

that was good but they dident even do a toe touch in the air????? my stunt group can do better

[Cheerleader4Life109]

its a tutorial smartyy. :) lol. jk.

[rsmistletoe3]

actually i've found that a str8 up basket is harder for the flyer. all of the 1st yr flyers automatically threw a toe touch in the air, but had to learn how to go up str8 b/c of their level. its all the same for the bases tho

[PolkaDotCherries]

i just started basket tosses this week (we have a competition this weekend) but the original flyer broke her hand so i was put in, i find the straight up to be a lot easier than attempting to do a toetouch or pike in midair, but every person is diffrent, [ i have never flown in my life b4 and they expect me to compete a basket toss this weekend, when i just learned it yesterday] talk about short notice

[tevitalui]

soooo low

[creativitychick101]

good video =).....we did a toetouch basket toss and got a bit more height wen we did it =) xx

[u092012]

yeah i'm in 7th grade and we have to do them. i'm a flyer and my stunt group keeps messing up and i got dropped.

[PolkaDotCherries]

i really stinks when you get dropped but as long as you are SUPER tight it won't hurt as bad. if your stunt group keeps dropping you then ask for a front spot to start out with

[Habiebaby06]

i am in seventh grade and we do basket tosses. actually, the 4th and 5th graders do them too! are all u guys in highschool?

btw, great video!!!!

[NOELLiExo]

my teams going to do this. kind of scared thoughh!!

[cheergirlization]

my coach wouldn't let us do basket tosses but now it's a requirment I'm happy we have to do this

[CJbfflolshow]

wowie greattt job

[seewaytooex]

is your video editor is adobe?

[fitforafeast]

premiere and also final cut pro on mac, but for this one it was premiere

[lrcjdv08]

i just got hurt doing a toe touch basket the 26th.

now i have a hip contusion:/

but once i'm healed, i will do them again:)

nice video.

[fitforafeast]

[compdancemom]

Very good breakdown of the elements. Always happy when safety is stressed since these stunts can be dangerous.

[whitneykeliher]

[Britlea12]
