How to Win the Bushel Basket Toss

I worked at a traveling carnival when I was in high school. During our down time we'd all practice the games and I've learned how to win most games.

For this game, first know the rules. No part of your body can pass over the barrier, and some places don't allow the ball to touch the lip of the basket.

Stand directly in front of the basket, gripping the ball like this. Toss the ball with a sharp flick of your wrist, putting a nice backspin to it. Aim for the top of the basket right after the lip. If done right the ball will drop into the basket and your kids will not get ripped off by Six Flags ever again.

The best games to play are the racing / water gun games because there's a winner every time.
There are knobs in the back that control the speed of each racer and when a little kid was playing against a group of adults I'd adjust the speed so they'd win.
