Someone please post a guide for 1-legged swipes

You can learn 1-legged swipes before mills. All my friends can do 1 legged swipes and they aint even close to windmills.
I learnt windmills first but i practiced like a bitch to get em, Im working on one-leged swipes now.

P.S. My name (swiper) has nothing to do with swipes

alright, just wonderin what to do, and you say you learned winmills? well, on another thread some dude put that when i come onto my shoulders, to push off with my left shoulder... do you think this could help me? becasue that sounds like it'll change my direction / momentum.

(I do anti-clockwise windmills)

Hmm thisguy sounds a little wrong.

When you collapse your left arm you should try to guide your left shoulder to the ground (else you will smack it, pain....).

When your on your back with your legs in v-shape and about to turn over, you push of with your RIGHT shoulder (dont push in a direction, just straight up, you only push off to get height).

Basic one legged swipe (CW):
[list=1][*]Sit on the ground.[*]Put your right hand on the ground a couple inches to the right and back of your hip.[*]Put your left hand just above it.[*]Now bend your right leg so it's in a /\ shape. Lift yourself up so you're supported only by your arm and that leg[*]Lean back a little .. not too much. In one smooth motion, throw your left hand over your head to your right side -- when it's halfway there, do the same with your right arm. Both arms should now be in the air with only your right foot supporting you.[*]While keeping your left leg STRAGHT, try to kick the ceiling with the right SIDE of your right foot. Both arms should now be on the ground; you should be staring at the ground after the kick. Before making the kick with your right, you can help your momentum by making a small little loop upwards then to the left with your left leg.[*]Sweep your left leg (keeping it straight or bending it just a little) as far left as you can, then up, continuing to strain it to your relative left.[*](Remember to make your right leg relatively straight during this process) .. Then, simply land with your right leg; this will bring you back to the starting position for another swipe.[*]For continuous swipes, you need to lift your left hand, then your right hand, RIGHT before your right leg touches the ground for the second swipe; remember to swing it all the way directly over your head and not cheat by cutting over your chest.[/list=1]

Master swipes:

Basically do everything above, except instead of sitting down at the beginning hold yourself up so that your entire body minus the leg that's supporting you is parallel to the ground. In addition, when you're at the facing down legs-in-air part, split your legs and rotate them like the back half of a flare, mill, or airflare -- keep them split and land the way you started (all laid out).

Bah, that took too long. I should save it and post it somewhere.
