Yeah.. i figured out how to basically do 1-legged swipes YESTERDAY and heres a video of them..

they feel cool (like continuing momentum not like SWIPE...SWIPE more like SWIPE--SWIPE.... sorry if that didn't make sense but yea.. lmao)

EDIT: video isn't on youtube yet, but ill post it up... it's really weird like.. they dont look like swipes lol XD!

they're swipes, they're just not that good. keep workin at them and feelin your way through them. i never got told exactly what to do, i was pretty much told if they were lookin good or not and had to figure out the little details about how to do them right on my own. don't worry, you'll get it with time.

you're doing what i used to do. you're using one arm at a time. try flipping both at one time around. and around then you can get some momentum and you'll feel it dude. trust me

you see how your heel is pretty much in contact with your butt? this is a really inefficient way to use your quad muscle to extend your leg.

compare the angle your leg bends to mine.

start from standing, like u start airflares or 1990's. that is probz the best way 2 keep ur hips up, really push off with ur foot and move ur hands in a circle when u put them down.
