I forgot who said this, but you should try to hump the ceiling. you heard me. molest the plaster right off that b*tch. sexually assault alpha centauri.

I dunno how helpful this is, but this is how I do it... (I don't know how you categorize the direction of swipes, whether it's based on rotation or revolution... so I'll just say that I swing my arms from left to right) be careful not to twist too far or you'll lose momentum, and once you get your right hand down, get all your weight on it by leaning on to it and humping the ceiling. when you have all your weight on your arm, and you humped the ceiling to get it there, you should have enough height for the rest of the swipe. I hope that's clear(not to mention correct) and I hope it helped you.




A bboy without style is like a leprechaun's penis. Wait, I lost my train of thought.

"The scrotum must pass through fire, else you will bear children."

It must be your brain, cause your seminola doesn't squidge that way.

"Only reason people can't dance with flow is because they have not been molested by a skunk."

Humble Pai does not lie.

hump the sky. people say lean back, but that makes no sense. try, without sacraficing your kicking strenght, to get your pelvis as high as possible.

swipes start out going really fast. but once u get the hang of it, everything slows down, and you can watch the world go by while doing swipes. if theyre going a little slower after u practice some more, then think to yourself while in mid swipe. am i humping the sky as much as i could be. insteada only contemplating that before you start.



however. make sure to not hump the sky while facing down. after you start going down again, dont continue humping.

(that has happened sometimes when i try and explain it)




Barberek: why do i have to use proper grammar on the internet????? i am familiar wiht the dictionary i used to read it to improve my vocabilary

jaesung: yay another person who thinked insted of assuming all americans are dumb

That hurts just to imagine. Good point, Muffin. Can't have young newbs losing their gonads, they'll need them for airfreezes

Humping the sky should cause you to lean back/whatever direction you need to have more weight on your arm a bit anyways, whereas leaning back won't cause you to naturally hump the sky. And everyone knows the sky is super sexy.
