im guessin this is a standardized message? since i did not make the scoreboard?
Trying to keep the caber in balance, you charge forward, running a short distance before planting your feet in a deep squat. As the caber starts to rise off your shoulder, you add momentum to the toss by using your legs to push downward while your arms naturally follow through over your head. The caber flips into the air, narrow end over broad, until the heavier end hits the ground and the caber topples like a falling tree.
Thrown with unquestionable symmetry and style, the caber comes to rest in an almost perfect position. With a resounding ka-thunk, the caber settles into a long-distance scoring position. That throw definitely soared above the rest.
or am i broken again? ::snickers::

Yep, that's a standard message for a good throw. Doesn't mean you'll beat everyone on the scoreboard, just that you had a better than average throw.

Would it be possible for you to post a clip of what a perfect throw would look like? There are so many factors and it seems like the "best" of each category is a little ambiguous. The messaging is all so...encouraging...that it's difficult to discern the hierarchy.

Please? I'm really enjoying the caber toss, I'd just like to have a better idea of what I'm seeing as I do it.

I'm pretty sure you already watched me in practice. What other info do you need on what the perfect throw looks like?
