Ok i have some training in conditioning for swipes so this is a pretty good thread
this is for people who have the basic idea on how to do a swipe
OK
Step 1:: In the starting position keep your hips as high as possible so high that they lift your heels of the ground.
Step 2:: Extend your right arm (clockwise) and reach out as far as you can. Try to make your shoulder blades touch. This should allow minimum effort to switch your weight to your right arm. If you do this right your hims shouldnt drop at all.
Step 3:: Slowly rotate your left arm and leg over you, when you r left hand is near your right your feet should easily come off the ground and for a second you should only be on your hands.
Step 4:: Ok put your left hand and foot where you left hand and foot was. Let your right foot go over the top of your body and land back in the starting position.
DONT LET YOUR HIPS EVER DROP OR THEIR NOT SWIPES
do that slowly at first and then slowly fast and faster untill you get them smooth and fast.
sticky please because this is the proper form for swipes Alot of bboys/bgirls think they have swipes but there hips always drop. This is a very important thing to know.
i think what he means is that the hips sorta make your body an angle, and your hips are bent down. the guide is alright i guess, but i'm guessing most people learn best through a vid, and those that get stickied usually don't beg for it, and have a nice, clear, detailed guide
