yo those swipes are wack, man. swipes are all about torque. you're just walking over.

The vice over here is right, u need to clean em up........BUT u may have sumthin with the hand transition. Usually i post out too far from my body and get all extended. U have the fundamentals, but urs are just a little sloppy. Watch other b-boys do it to understand what the vice pres. is sayin. Thanks for takin the time to help us out...... Appreciated.

You're definately misusing the word torque. Torque is the turning force, not the speed or technique, so I think you mean velocity.

[Vice President]

torque = twisting force.

you're supposed to twist your body and then have your legs follow.

i do swipes.. but i haven't done that steps.. but good.. more easier if you do that.. ugh!

YEs YEs i know thoes r ultraly bad swipes, see the thing is i got 1 legged swipes before i got swipes, so i cant rlly do swipes but thoes were the steps i took to learning 1 leggeds eventually, and they worked fine for mee

[Kaooo]

torque is radius times force.

yup thats right. its the turning momentum in your kick thatll bring u over..
i guess nice guide, but with speed ull get much better looking swipes

That's a variation of swipes i've never seen "swipes" done on a bridge position until now. Not only that but like VP says is about twisting force, and if ur doing master swipes you need to arch ur back but not in a bridge position -_-

[B-boyWAFFLESTICKS]

I really liked this tutorial. I had seen another vid on the net and heard people tell me how to do it but i never got it until now. Thanks man. Your swipes are a little different (you arch your back, I've never heard of making and arch - just a "table"), but the general concept about hand placement/arm movement helped me out a lot.

[Ill Will]

you should arch, becasue eventually when you take you feet off the floor, aka airflares, you will need to arch you wont b able to like table your way over in an airflare

[metheores]

^^that made no sense, master swipes and airflares are wayyyyy different moves, people say that they learn master swipes to get the feeling of airflares- but u don't arch ur back like a bridge -_- don't overexagerate the arch either for master swipes, u might pull some shit

[Ill Will]

^^^ you dont know what you are talking about. An Airflare is the same thing as a 1 legged , just the other foot dosent touch, and you swing more. you have to arch your back to get the proper lift to get over in airflares. you can get away with it tho in 1 leggeds cuz you foot is on the ground, but you should arch it will make it easier to move on.
