Sure I'm not a regular poster on these boards, but hey.

I got the swipes first time actually. Pretty lucky. The first 20 or 30 were really sloppy though, I would land with my feet mis-aligned, or one bent more than the other.
But after speaking to Paul and Steve of Belfast City Breakers - they are a big crew here - I've got swipes down to a tee.
I got one legged swipes after about a week. Standing swipes took me a lil longer, 3 weeks I think.


Don't worry if your not getting them first time, tenth time or even hundredth time. I still havent figured out the pinwheel
Just practice, have patience, and believe in your abilites.

I got swipes my first time i tried.



There are 3 kinds of people: ones who ask why life, ones who look at life, and ones who live life.

In the end it won't matter what color your hair was, what brand of clothes you wore, or what size shoe you had. What you learned is what's gonna matter.

Having courage is when even though you know you are screwed and it seems pointless, you try anyways always seeing it through no matter what.

If life gives you lemons you don't have to make lemonade, you can trade them for oranges and make orange juice.

You see blacks, whites, asians... I see people.

Send the package and hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

Smiles are contagious.

You laugh because I'm different, I laugh because I just farted.

I got all the knowledge I know today from all the people locked down in my basement.
