Swipe Help. - 08-29-2008, 10:34 PM

I've been having trouble with getting even one swipe.

What I notice about myself is, I struggle to keep my hips in the air so in the end, my supposed swipe turns all messy and shit like and I can't even land.




Get your shit right before you try to correct others' shit.

Forever learning the beautiful art of Bboy.

Remember to hump the air... I mean REALLY thrust your hips STRAIGHT UP as high as you can before you start to rotate, as soon as your foot is off the ground rotation should begin...

you might just need more time to practice.




I'm just another up-and-comer paying dues.
I think I'm possibly the slowest learner on all of bboy.org haha.

It's like twisting your body to the other side. Kick your leg and bring your hips up as high as possible then u should land on the other side from where u started.
