45 tosses can definitely be a little scary at first. My suggestion - if you have a bike helmet at home, try putting that on first and it will help give you that extra layer of protection and confidence to try releasing it. Once it’s going well with the helmet, try removing and see how it goes!
This one definitely takes lots of patience, practice, and perseverance. You can do it!!!!! Is there anything in particular you’re struggling with on this toss? Happy to offer up suggestions to help you master this thing!
@@allieblue4219 I can definitely understand that! I have a few tips for ya! I would recommend playing around with your hand placement of the right hand that comes up in front when you release and the left hand that goes back. If you’re finding that the flag isn’t quite getting to the left side of your body for the catch, move your right hand a little more to the left when you release. That will help direct it to the right place. Putting the left hand behind your head can definitely be scary early on. My recommendation for this is to actually think about sending that left hand even further across the back of your head than you think you need to. Think about trying to reach your left hand all the way across to the back of your right shoulder in the prep, and that will help ensure that you’re not letting go too early before you get that good 45 angle established. So overall, I would say to play around a bit with the hand placement for both of your hands, but in any case, be sure in your release to let go with both hands at the same time and don’t hold on longer with one hand versus the other. That could definitely lead to some funky things happening with your tosses. I hope this helps!

Same I actually gave myself a concussion with my 45 💀
@@madelynryan8492 Yup, trying to rebuild confidence after a 45-gone-wrong gave me a nasty cut on my eyebrow (luckily no concussion).
literally me too
REAL
Well now I know why I got a pink flag and white pole it’s bc it looked so good with yours lol 😂
Haha. I've had this same setup for as long as I can remember! It's a great combo! I'm glad to hear you also love it. :-)
Gold (not real gold sadly I’m poor) pole purple flag for me. ROYAL COLORS
Mine I got from a marching comp, so it was old show flags, I’ve got a silver pole and a pinkish purple design for the flag
i swear this toss is impossible😭

@@crystalzaragoza the hard part is putting your hand behind your head and then catching it while it's on the side of you
