Couple of things, James.

You've got quick feet and it shows in your weights for distance. Pretty good technique. You're gonna foul occasionally but don't let it get you down. That just means you're trying to throw far.

You let your arms go really long in the hammer and you've got a good pull/release. Again, good technique. Probably your best events.

I am curious about you switching from the South African to the glide in the stones but I'm sure you've got a reason. Both styles look good and you're not embarrassing yourself with the distances.

WOB and Sheaf look good, too. No obvious flaws.

Leaves only caber, don't it? Okay, you're carrying the caber at best vertical and at worst behind you. Then you accelerate and "run out from under the caber" which only makes caber's orientation worse...you're down ready to pull but the caber is still behind you. What you want is to get the caber leaning forward in front of you...falling forward if you will...as you step off and then CHASE it. Stop, Drop, and POP! Does that make sense? You really don't need to run very far if you have the caber trying to turn rather than resisting the turn. Give it a shot and turn yourself some cabers.

BTW, wasn't that Bobby Dodd judging you in the caber in the first video? Sure looked like him. Please give him my regards.

Throw far.
