The Video Thread

Goodgirl,

WELCOME to the insanity!!!!! Keep at it. What really translates from your video--- you've definitely got the right attitude! The rest is just mechanics. I am SOOO geeked to see more women getting involved. We have a new 'team' member in Michigan and its a blast throwing with her.

You're around some VERY good throwers who are also always ready to coach.

Good on ye, lass!

Hey, Aaron got another one....

Miz Plaidgirl is being humble. We'll skip the one where the sheaf came back down on her neck and show you a few more.

Nothing wrong with that, you just need a bit more *VIOLENCE*...

Now, the heavy weight for distance WAS a big heavy for you. on the other hand, you didn't fall on your butt, like my friend Marty did at HIS first Games.

I don't care what anybody says, You were out there, DOING IT. You were on the "action" side of the fence. You took what you knew and you had the cajones to put it out there and strut your stuff, to give it a shot and those sheaf videos don't look bad at all. We'll get those weights whipped into shape, no problem there...*heh*

You done good. Hold your head high GGGP.

Light Weight for Distance & Heavy Weight for Distance:





Got some great comments on this from Alan already (different thread). But basically I'm standing straight up, no power from legs.

I could also do a better job of establishing the power position through both turns.

I agree 100%....and I need this too. I think attitude can help a lot.

One thing I noticed from the big boys is that they throw with some real aggression. Then I go back & watch my throws and it looks like I'm just going through the motions...

I'm SO technique-oriented that overthinking the throws are a big issue for me. After killing my throws distances in the weights throughout most of the season, I went to Ventura with this mindset.

This is the last Games of the season. There are 6 months ahead of you to "recover". There is nothing to lose. So just GO FOR IT.

...which is exactly what I did in the LWFD and HWFD. After watching West Imboden at a practice, and noticing how quick he was in the back I decided I was going to do that...did it....and had the best sequence of throws I'd had all year, AND a gigantic PR in the HWFD.

My mantra in caber now, when there's a big heavy stick....something that Dan McKim said.
"Be aggressive, or it'll bury you"

so now, before I pick a snarl at myself ...""BE AGGRESSIVE">... seems to work, I've turned every caber since Pleasanton.

Hit a new PR on my push press recently! Not big yet, but getting stronger...

Nice work!! That doesn't look light, for sure!

Also thumbs up on the bad-**** tee and I'm extremely jealous of your clean/organized garage.

...Sometimes I can't even find my car under Mr. Plaids duck stuff.
