Are you attempting double legged or one legged swipes?

When I teach swipes, I tell people they should think of the move as moving your arms and legs separately.

In the front part (hips facing up) you need your hands to be directly under your shoulders (maybe slightly wider apart) and your hips pushed upwards.

In the back part (facing the floor) don't kick your legs up too high, you don't want this to look like a failed attempt at getting into a cartwheel.

What you are basically doing, is twisting your upper body.
Your feet are planted on the floor, and you're twisting to one side with both hands. Then the swipe is just a quick motion where your feet come off the ground, spin through 360 on a horizontal axis, and touch back down again, you then twist your upper body up again by swinging your arms back across your chest.

It's not too good a description, because I only ever tought this move when I could give visual pointers, but from what I got from your description, this could help some.




A bboy without style, is like a broken pencil.

There's just no point.
