A New Kilted Sport
Instead of just tossing the caber, why not have an event involving balancing the caber on your head?
Would be a test of skull thickness and neck strength.
If this catches on, remember, I invented it and expect my name to be on the Hall of Fame of Caber Balancing.
Here I am practicing for this new event down in Tuba City on the Navajo rez.

And it's obviously a novice training caber; look how small it is.

I'm sorry, I should have explained...yes....it is a difficult sport to learn so one must start out with small cabers and use wires for safety until a sense of balance is obtained. Sort of like gymnastics training.
For the actual competition it will be full sized cabers with no wires.
Has anyone seen my health insurance card?

They shortened his legs with photoshop too, his knees are gone! Or, is that due to the force from the wires and the small caber pushing on his head?

Keep practicing Ron, when the Olimpic Commitee makes it an official sport, you will be miles ahead of anyone else.

I hate it when I snap a picture (or worse yet, shoot a video for a client) only to realize later that I had something "sprouting" out of some part of the subjects body!

As Ron's skills increase, he is able to balance even taller poles:
