Red face 1 legged swipes question... do not ignore! - 03-22-2006, 11:32 PM

ok. i know mentally how to do swipes, and im more than capable of doing them physically, but i JUST CANT GET THEM! ok, is it when you first are about to hop with youre leg thats on the ground, you put more weight on it and push all youre body weight off that leg and jump? or do you put youre (i go cw) left hand down, do you try and balance all youre weight for a short amount of time on THAT arm until you swing the other arm around?!? damn im so confused! lol. and when you come to the front, my friend said that you go into a 90 degree handstand while twirling youe legs around you and then keep doin that...ahhhhh!!! too many things to do!!! can someone map out or w/e what leg and/or arm does what and how much weight to put on it and w/e? I GOT MILLS FASTER THAN IM GETTING SWIPES AND THATS PATHETIC!!! MY FRIEND GOT THEM IN LIKE, A DAY!!! so can sum1 help me PLEASE i NEEEED swipes and master swipes!!! (BY THE WAY, WHICH 1'S ARE HARDER? 1 LEGGED SWIPES OR MASTERS? THEY BOTH SEEM THE SAME TO ME, JUST MASTER SEIPES ARE A LITTLE HIGHER AND STRAIGHTER...) THANKS

lets see...if you go clockwise, get into the crab position and extend your left leg straight out in the air. swing your right arm over your body. A split second after your right hand hits the ground, you want to jump off of your right foot, and twist your hips+legs in the direction ur arms were just spinning. you should land in the starting position (crab with left leg in the air) and repeat the process.

If that wasnt clear, then check one of the swipe guides

Master swipes are way harder than 1 legged swipes.

Your arms and legs should never be on the ground at the same time.

That means, when you're facing the ceiling, you're parallel to the ground and only one one leg. That also means that if you stay like this, you're going to fall, so as soon as you land on the leg your your rotate around and catch yourself. As soon as you catch yourself, your leg should come off the ground. Etc. (your right arm should leave the ground just as your right foot lands).

Also, it helps to swing your left foot in a circular thingy up and to the right when you're facing the celing ... it's kind of a follow-through and should be natural
