How do you do a basket toss full?

I have actually thought about this and designed 1, it involved sinking a pole into a concrete base then welding baskets and using chains (also welded)

Basically after i planned it out i figured out it is much more expensive to make 1 (that is of good quality) then to just buy 1 offline and ship it to you.

Now if you just want to shoot around then you can buy portable ones at sporting goods storesbut if your building a course on your property i suggest buying some big wooden poles (square poles), throwing some paint on them and just sinking them into the ground. Paint a line that you have to hit above and the hole number.

If you do this its actually harder to hit then the chian basket so youll get even better!

Cheerleading results in 66% of women's catastrophic injuries, however due to the fewer number of male participants, there are no statistics on men. In the category of Non Extreme Sports(Extreme sports being street luge, bull riding, heli skiing...) Cheerleading is currently the 3rd most dangerous sport in the world, only under Rugby and Cave Diving. This is because of the stunting and tumbling elements. These involve lifting or throwing a girl sometimes as high as 40 feet in the air. Tumbling is gymnastics which can cause injury if the technique is not proper

Are any NFL Cheerleaders really cheerleaders and not dancers?

Cheer is harder. We are lifting 80-100 pounds in the air, doing death defying stunts, oh and guess what, we do everything dancers do. We have a huge dance in our routines, flyers spin themselves in the air, and do whole heel stretches and bow n arrows IN THE AIR! Also learning all sorts of tumbling skills, like fulls, tucks, and back handsprings. Cheer practices can last all day and you barely get a break. Yes I was a competitive dancer in my earlier years of life. Now Im a cheer leader and I am proud to be one for 5 years now. Cheer is so less toxic and nobody in the right mind would shame someone else on the team. We are a family. This is my opinion, please don’t come for me.
