i think u should put 2 legs on ground first,then kick one of ur leg in a curved way to get enuf momenteum,then land on ur 2 legs.If you are familiarlised,i think u may try land on the same leg.BTW,wut race r u and where do u live?

ok ..
when you start the swipe try to twist first your upper body to the side you re spinning - that means :swing your hand (opposite arm of the leg that you raise in the air at the beginning ) in a circular motion to the side that your spinning--then as a consequence your upper body twists--and THEN (after all that your legs should come with the motion of your body --that means it wont be too hard to twist them.

other advice: you have to sweep your leg (the one thats in the air at the start) more to your bent leg ,but just before you seem to hit the bent leg (2nd leg) with the other you kick the 2nd up . Then twist your legs ( it looks better if your legs are spread a bit --but not too far!)

Hope it helped a bit
good luck!

u kick with ur left leg a bit to diagonal right first,then u make a curve in ur kicking back to ur left side,and ur right leg jump,and twist both of ur leg so that both will land in the same crab position

@ duraham :
is that "how to breakdance" from mike gracia ? if yes, forget about the explanation ( +vid) of mike gracias swipes.
I tried to learn them from that video..lol..impossible!
just try them yourself or with a partner who watches you...
But important: first you have to twist your upper body -- then your legs
