how long did it take you guys to get something that looks like a swipe cause when i do them my whole body spins in one direction at the same time i guess you could say im getting really frustrated ive looked at all the guides every post i do them every day im pretty fed up so any help would well help

[xbboy Acex]

when i first started breakin, about 7 months ago i remember trying to get swipes down. it took me about 2 days to be able to do one nice swipe and then about another week to be able to do them continuously. ok so youre problem is youre whole body is twistin at the same time? if you are going CCW from the crab position throw your arms over to your left and dont kick off your feet untill both your hands are planted on the ground. once your hands are plants kick hard up and you will pretty much twist without having to move your hips too much. hope that helps if you have any other questions or need me to re-explain that better pm me or IM me on supra pimpin 7

one day one try, for onelegged swipes it took me about 1 week but like 2 months to get enough strength to do them nice

ahh yes, the influence of muffins can not be resisted. bboy muffin, when did you come over to our side?





one legged swipes took me a while to learn that i did them wrong... one day my friend was like can u do swipes and showed me his. i always tried doing em like 2 legged swipes only with one leg. but then i tried jumping into them like he did. right there on the spot they worked and i did em well since.

personally i think swipes are the easiest move...the first day i tried them i could do them..and one legged swipes...and standing up swipes..but now im jus practicing continous swipes one legged cause regular continuous swipes came pretty easy to me also

eh yall actually gota swipes clip?

[llSpreadLovell]

Yeah, I got swipes down after a few tries, it was easy.

I'm starting to get the impression that swipes are way, way easier to learn when you're first starting out, cuz I learned em fast when I first started, and so did everyone else, as I'm reading. But then I know people who have been breaking for like 8 months and have been trying swipes for a few weeks and still can't get them down. So, that's what I think.

And also, forget about one-legged and two-legged swipes, they're weak. Now three-legged swipes, THAT's where it's at, man.

First try for 2-legged, my 1-legged still look shit!

[BGirl_Versatile]

it took me about 2-3 days to ge thtem down. they don't look perfect but atleast i can do them. i get frustrated whenver i don't get a move down also but from what other people here have told me to do is just keep practicing and have some patience. the time will come when you get a swipe down. peace.
