Flag J-Toss/Drop Spin Toss: How to color guard

Hey courtyard fans. Today we are going to throw the flags into the air. I'm going to teach you a little thing called a J toss. For the J toss, start with your flag in right shoulder. Then take your left hand and tell your mother to give you some money. Because any time you put your hand out, flat with your palm up, we call that a money hand. Take that money hand and put it on the flag. You're going to take your money hand and you're going to place it on the flag with the fingers and thumb on opposite sides of the pull. Depending on how high you want to toss it and how much you want it to spin, you might put it higher, you might put it lower. The higher you are, the more spin you're going to get. The lower you are, the more height you're going to get. Once you have the position, you're going to pull down with your right hand. This is the same thing as that three count toss I taught you before where you push, then lift. So if you need to pull down and hit the ground a couple of times, do it. From this position, once you pull down, you're going to lift with your left hand and release this way. Put it all together and it looks like this. I catch it with the silk up, it only rotated once in the air. And I catch it in my left hand. You can also start in left shoulder to make this a right handed toss. Money. Notice how I'm pushing and then lifting. Push, lift, some people call this a J toss because of the J shape that the flag makes before it leaves your hand. But others call this a drop spin toss because you can do it while you're doing drop spins. This is how you do it with drop spins. Start your normal drop spin position. Drop spin, drop spin. When you come up with the flag instead of placing your hand in the normal position for a drop spin, place it in the J toss position. Again, one, two, three, four, 5, 6, 7, 8, and out, two.
