That was so....Interesting it made me cry with wanting to strangle you. I mean...help you.

I don't think you get it, how the hell are you starting? it looks like your starting a two legged, then you go pretty much into a handstand, then you try to land one legged OHMYFUCKINGOD i wish i had my webcam so i could show you one with proper form!

also....you may want to kick your legs around faster....that would create more momentum and you wouldnt have to stay up in the position you are in in the video to maintain in the air while completeing the move...this would make the move look much better and smoother...




breaking isnt allll about the moves u got..its also about the soul u put into it

Your EXACT problem there is that you're turning around to your front, THEN pushing off into the air. You're pushing off way to late. it's like you're in crab position, turn around 180 then go into a hand stand and turn another 180 in the air.
What you wanna do is start in crab position, then bend your left arm completly over so it's next to your right arm. This is where you stuff up, DO NOT turn around at this point. your body should be twisted here, so you jump up, spin AFTER you have jumped up, not before and then land after a 360 turn.
The whole 360 spin should be done in the air, not half of it.

I hope that helps, good luck

start over kid -.- when you first try swipes you are SUPPOSED to fall down, unless you're amazing and you get it on the first try. your hands arent supposed to stay on the floor. im a newb, but i still know what a swipe's supposed to look like
