I’m wondering about a type of basket toss I saw YEARS ago. I can’t remember where I saw it...I want to say the True Life episode that featured Dunbar from like 2002? It’s complicated and I’ll try my best to describe it.
The toss starts in profile with the crowd, let’s say, to the flyer’s left. She kicks/double twists leading with her right leg.
But, right after the first twist and before going into the second twist, she pops to a spread eagle toward the crowd (her body position means shes tilted at a 45 degree angle when this happens). She then pulls herself back in to resume her second twist and cradles.
I can’t find a video example of this because I don’t even know what to call it. It’s like a kick/double twist with a spread eagle variation, I guess. I figured I’d ask you all-star folks because this type of basket hasn’t been legal in high school for years.
Thanks so much.
