Hey guys! Hella happy i landed them and i've been able to land them for a while. I don't know what io look like unfortunatley, but i wanted to know, what makes a swipe look really dope because that's what i plan on working on next (until the addition to our house is builkt,m then im gonna prac some millz)

I know spread legs, help but i dont understand how you're supposed to do that

So right after you kick, you just spread your legs out and twist?

Anyways, i hope you can help, ty for ur time bboys (bgirls too!)

You don't need to nesseserily twist persa`, as you throw your arms over your body your hips and legs will follow, also try to keep parralell to the ground with your body! you should never be able to balance!

hope this helps a little,

peace

i think height and smoothness makes it look dope
u know how it should be 1 motion fo rur continuous swipes

hey made in chian, how long did it take and how do u start airswieps?

[Made1nChina]

It took me two-three days to land my first swipe (crappy) After about a week of training them more (They should look better now, again im not sure i have no camera and i don't think it's possible to watch yourself in the mirror and execute a good one at the same time )

Anyways...After i got down swipes, i thought to myself, well i cant do anything else, so i watched some vids and really all it is, is really just a swipe from standing. i know that sounds hella obvious but its like, from standing position i....

twist to the left slightly while stepping out with the left foot

then i kick my right leg up really hard (just liek i do in a 1 l swipe...i do 1 l air swipes i dont like 2 l) then really it's just rotate your arms and upper body, and then (i dont know, some bboys can just twist their upper body and their slower folows naturaly,m i have to put a fair amoount of torque on my lower body to make it spin)

so bascially i just start by jumping backwards...

if you're wondering on how to start it i can give a better explanation...lol this one was kinda jumbled


EDIT: Sorry didnt answer ur q, after i had swipes cleanly i got airswipes in 1 day (Just told myself not to be a pussy and jump back)

[The Joker]

good advise.

Alternatively what you can try is doing them from like the start of a 1990, you know what i mean? this'll give you power, and after you mastered this, try doing a skyscraper then going into the airswipe!

[Made1nChina]

Haha i would try it but i cant do a handstand X-(

[The Joker]

In that cace China, i have a task for you!

homework,lol, go away and learn how to hold a handstand! there's a few ways to learn, if you want any help, pm me or get me on msn!

you can choose something for me to go and learn if you like!

[fozzy]

hehe that's a really good idea The Joker. Motivate him \o/

[bboy-hypernova]

damn u can't do ahandstand and u got airswipes
damn im such a pussy
i can make myself try suicides and flips but i can't make myself jump back for airswieps >.<

damn it
can u give a more detailed explanation of the start?

[Bboy AlpinA]

airswipes sound like master swipes

[NRAdam]

Airswipes are not masterswipes. Masterswipes are way too easier than airswipes. Airswipes are swipes in which your legs stay in the air all the time. ie, it is another term for airflares!!!!! Ask Anubis. I cannot believe many guys dont know this. And i am a newbie.

[The Joker]

fool, masterswipes and airswipes are the same!

airtracks and airflares are the same

airswipes and air flares are not the same!

Just Joker mate, just Joker, drop the "The"

[bboy-hypernova]

airswipew r not airflares man
airswipes is easier than masterswipes

master swieps ur completley horizontal
airswipes u still got some verticle to it

ur leg touches ground in all swipes

[shadow_gnel_75]

thank you for your clip

[The Professor]

Actually Airswipes are related to airflares in the same way Airtacks are related to Airflares. A bunch of people probably came on airflares at the same time from different directions. Flares, swipes, 90s, windmills... One guy prolly was doing master swipes really fast and had enough momentum to say: damn, i dont need to touch ground, I can just continue in the air! Airtracks someone probably did them on purpose from mills etc.

Anyway, Airswipes according to Anubis, are Master swipes into airflare and back to master swipes. bboy Technyke does them. Kind of like for some people, airtracks are windmill up to airflare back to windmill...
