well when you land on your feet your hands should be off the ground ready to throw over and start another swipe but after my feet land on the ground i have trouble pushing off and twisting my upper body to start another one

wait for your feet to land first, keep practicing, you're just shifting weights from hand to hand i think

your saying that ur leg cant land it.

is it like, your legs are not spinning fast enuff it cant land? or are u doing it too hard that you're not landing it correctly

use your hands and hips to keep your legs in the air so that u can do a full turn and land it

well when i do swipes i land on the other foot not the foot that i started off on which you are supposed to land on that one unless you wanna go the other way

so i start with my right foot on the ground and my left is raised a little ready to flip and rotate me when i in the air

after i throw my hands down my legs go in the air and rotate around each other- at that point my hands are both still on the ground

next i come down and land on my left foot with my right foot raised

well ill try your advice thx

but my leg can land it without me falling or anything
i mean the muscle strength and balance is easy

well ill try your advice thx

when you're on your hands waiting for your rotation of the legs, push up, kick off a bit so that you can bring ur hips higher. put weight here and let your legs rotate.

u probably need height, that's it
