Swipes are Deadly without help - 09-10-2006, 08:47 PM

Peace,

I need deadly help with swipes, i mean, I just don't know what I am doing wrong.Ok, from the guides that i have looked at this is how you swipe,get into the bridge position, next,place your right hand on the ground, and place your left arm over your chest, so that it pulls your body in right direction, then with your right hand push your body up and while your pushing your body up, kick your right leg up and use your left arm to bring you over by swinging it over your chest and at the same time bring your left leg over.Well here is a vid of me, tell me what I am doing wrong.
Ps.
I know it doesn't have sound but it was my f**k up cell phone

YouTube - This is a vid of me

ok...i hav no idea wtf yur talkin about tbh, and from the vid it jst looked liek u were whipping yur left arm around.
1-leg swipes
(a) start in a crab position
(b) lift the leg of the direction you want to spin (spin right, lift right)
(c) as you give a slight hop with yur still planted foot, throw the matching arm across yur body. (ie: lift left leg, hop w/ right leg and throw right arm over)
****check the vid i posted, its from teh bboy.org dvd****
2-leg swipes
(a) start in the crab position
(b) give a slight hop while throwing one arm in the direction you want to spin (ie: wanna go left, throw yur right over)

liek i said, i'm not 100% on what it is that u were doin but those are the quick bullet points for swipes...

yeah, that helps, but don't put your arm over your chest:

when you swing your left arm over your left, swing your right arm, THEN jump with your right leg over your left, and land on your right foot.

Jump with your right leg super hard. Cos probably your legs aint strong enough.
