problem : getting the jump for swipes - 09-08-2006, 04:58 PM

hi all first post
have a read of my current situation and see if u know the answer:P

i raise one my left leg high into the air and swing my right hand to my left, now the trouble is kickin up into the air with just my right leg, i dont get enuff jump/lift to swing my right leg over my left.

infact im havin trouble keeping my left leg into the air as i swing my right hand to the left, it naturally drops down.

now if i do the swipe with both leg firm on the ground whilst i swing my right hand i pull of a decent swipe i think and end up landin on my right leg having swung it over my left

does any1 else feel they dnt get the jump needed for a swipe??

First of all are you left handed ? :S
And maybe you should start with 2 legs instead of one legged swipes




It takes an athlete to breakdance, but an artist to be a bboy.

i think i got 2 legged down but i rly wanna do 1 legged coz i think personally it alot harder and shows u understood the mechanics of a proper swipe

no im right handed by i choose to swing my right foot over my left, i prefer to push off with my right foot

I do it a different way:

1.I have my left leg bent, right leg straight.

2.Throw right arm right, left arm right.

3.NOW i jump, my hips twist.

4.Land on my left leg.

5.The momentum i created helps me do another, and another.

I do the same thing as these guys I think. Plus it's hard to get momentum for my hands to do continuous ones, it's like Kick-delay-kick-delay. Any Drills that would help?
