Ok I dont get it. I can do double legged swipes, but I can't do one legged. THEY'RE FREAKIN HARD. If anyone else has this problem let me know. If you don't, please give a brother some advice on this.

1L swipes are supposed to be harder than two legged, two legged swipes are a piece of cake.

this is prolly sumthin that u've already considered, but don't jst try to jump into teh move. evn tho i hate his "vids" liek the plague, Mike Garcia actually makes a good point in breakin down teh 1L into liek 5000 steps.
1) practice teh rotation first jst seated with both legs out, jst so u get teh basic "rollover" motion
2) pull in one leg, (teh opposite taht yur turning obviously) and repeat step one, obviously with teh new leg setup
3) lift yur butt of teh ground usin yur arms and bent leg for support, and relax teh leg thats still sticking out a lil, so its jst slightly bent
4) usin a minimal hop off yur bent leg, rotate the arm opposite teh straight leg towards that leg. (left leg sticking out, rotate right arm left over yur body, right leg sticking out, rotate left arm right over yur body )
5) once u get these basic motions down, add more speed, incorporate it into a combo, and u shud hav no prob gettin multiple 1L's in a row

i jst uploaded teh 1L clip from teh DVD, if for some reason its not there, jst search teh forums for teh vid clip

usually, when people think 1L swipes are easier than 2legged, their 1L swipes are ugly. usually.

tru...i think part of that might be teh odd balance points and such. since yur landing from teh twisting motion on usually jst teh ball of a single foot...idk, that was part of my problem at first, landing liek that was jst really odd

[thunderhetz]

i got that problem!!!i land to hard.. and dont manage to do more 1 L swipes with out a long break between ...that is fu**ing anoying..!!!

[Bboy KenKen]

No my problem is I do my swipes ccw but when I do 1 leg swipe I land on my right foot everytime and I can't help that because I'm right footed and left handed.

[breakitout001]

thats what happens to me, i try to do the one legged swipe, and when ever i do the spin, i must not get high enough because, i always land on the outstretched leg because i cant stay up long enough to spin all of the way. what can i do?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
