Caber
This event is similar to the Scottish
event that is part of Games like The Highland Games. Instear of a tree
trunk, the competitor throws a foam caber. You have to flip the caber
over in as straight a line as you can. The straighter you throw the
caber, the more points you get for your throw.
Technique Hints
1. If you take a few steps into your throw, you will be able to
generate more power to toss the caber .
2. You should try to push the caber forwards with your shoulders and
upwards with your arms and hands.
3. Make sure you get a practice throw before the competition starts.
