    Yes brother, my wife made me commit to attending this year coming up. It was kind of part and parcel with getting the kilt (God blessed me by giving me a wife that needs to see her man to manly things!). I've found some sites that have helps with how to throw a caber, but to be honest,...throwing a telephone pole still scares me a hair.

    How does one feel under the caber? And on that note, I was thinking it would be primarily shoulder strength with throwing hammers and stones. Is that true?

    Cheers and blessings

    Check the sticky in the Highland Games forum "So you want to be an athlete?" for some good tips if I do say so myself.

    If you have more questions, post them there and either myself, Alan, or one of the other athletes here will be happy to respond.

    Ahh, yes...wasn't it Bill Cosby who said "Let the beatings begin!"? Just kidding!

    Super pics.
    Your young ones look totally at ease with the big kilted guy.
    Nobody would dare call that kilt a skirt.
