hmm.. i can do the motion right, but when i land.. i more like crash lol - my legs land to hard, so i cant fluidly link them, i gotta stop, set, go, stop set go, etc. and its cuz my landing is to hard - how can i soften it up and make it look good

try to not get so high up. but just practice.. i think we all had the same problem, but after practice, it goes away

[Jay7]

arite.. but also, as my legs are winding.. should i kinda be controling dem wit mah upperbody? or should they just fling out?

[BboY PaNdA]

i do not kno. you kik off, and you keep them bent. you control them by the hips i think?

[BboY PaNdA]

never mind. you do control them with your upper body

[Bboy airborn]

no you dont, focus on your legs, get high on your body but you cant control your legs with your upper body, it should be opposite also try to keep your bent leg at a obtuse angle before you land, that'll keep your body straight and a better landing, but your legs should be pretty well conditioned

[Jay7]

my legs are in fine condition... but as im coming down, should i try to slow down my legs as theyre falling? also, i mite be goin to much up + down, and thats why theyre crashin straite down....?
i duno - i'll try ta figure it out

[Bboy airborn]

the reason u may be going so much up and down is either because your chest pikes somewhere, or your doing low one legged swipes, try to keep your knee at obtuse angle, you won't be able to get it obtuse but it will help your chest straight, also stretch out your arms and try to make it feel lik you have alot of height, so you wont go up down up down, but thats not the reason your having a hard time to land, at first i could hardly land but now i can land pretty good

iduno if i agree with that.

u wana go high, think to youself while your swiping. often when doing a move, you consider it before, then tell youself what your gona do, then do it.

with swipes you need to slow down, think while your doing it. i need to put my hand here. i need to land this way.

while your doing it tell yourself. i need to land on my toes
landing on your toes will make it A softer and B quieter.

yeah... i noticed that lol, when i was landin on my feet (flat) it made the loudest noise.. it kinda scared me, thought i broke my whole legs or sumin, sent like shox thru my body.. but thanks alot

i still have dodgy landing too...i can continue my swipes but it looks and feels really bad, but practise will help i spose..

makle sure ur swinging n not bouncing up and down, doing a bounce will make it look REALLY shitty
