My Few Questions About Swipes - 11-25-2006, 03:11 AM

Well first of all id like to use this thread to say hello. As opposed to wasting more space making a pointless "introduction thread"

About my name. Im a graffiti writer from seattle washington, not gonna get into details about what i write. But theres a hint in the name, and no, it has nothing to do with dawg. Thats just a little inside joke.

Now to the point. Ive been learning swipes fo maybe 2 days now. And only bboying for 5 days. I can get height, and momentum, thats not my problem. My problem is dropping into a swipe, since it starts from a position on your back. not only that, whenever im doing a one legged swipe, lets say that i have my right leg in the air. im confused, do i want my rotation to go RIGHT or LEFT. and why is it t hat left seems to be easier... my six step goes left as well. I skateboard goofy footed as well...

I hope this isnt going to be a problem... Thanks in advance for your help guys. Look forward to seeing more of you around.

Hit me up at AIM:enigmaticdawg if you wanna talk hip hop. im not a toy when it comes to graffiti. and i know a lot about music. maybe you could help me out? peace.

i havn't learned how to get a swipe from the stand position, but basically i trick people into thinking i'm going into a flare. I spread my legs wide and then go straight into my six-step and instead of finishing the 6th step i do my swipes on the 5th step.

Depending on how you learned Swipes you may or may not be able to do it.
