If you can't play my files with MediaPlayer, this codec wil fix it:

Or you can get VLC Player that plays almost anything without windows codecs:

ahhh! i wanna watch!! I don't have admin rights, so I can't install anything anyways... but i'd imagine you're having a similar problem as I am... Is your leg just not going straight up, or even looking like a kick?

man, you cant expect us to go through all of that, just make a normal file everyone can watch, without using some codec, btw; why dont you guys use YouTube or something like that? too much hassle @ uSendIt

You are almost doinga runnig jackknife with the secondleg coming out like that at the end of the technique. I would still say that you were in the land of the layback 540 though.

A sideswipe needs to be pre requisited by the Raiz. if it doesn't follow an inverted raiz you will struggle because it is the leg following the torque of the upper body which causes the swipe to invert. If you are torque across a horizontal line you will layback, if you torque an invert you will swipe. You got the power, you just need teh raiz to nail the swideswipe. If you have raiz already, just practice and begin to try and bring the trailing leg down faster. eventually you will land both feet, then it is time for you to go the whole hog and swipe. I missed out the other bit and just 540'd the kicking leg with a raiz take off and I got it!

Yea, you're lifting your non-kicking leg more horizontal (across instead of up). You need to lift it STRAIGHT UP. Just as Kyukodo said, Raiz (rather, Invert Raiz) can Help you out because the take-off is the same. Another way to think of the Invert Raiz is like a Spinning Gainer.

It looks like you're going into it the old fashioned way, so you shouldn't have any problem throwing it UP. You can also tell by your left arm- it's going ACROSS and BACK instead of UP and OVER.

Try all the tips already given, and let us know how it goes. Good Luck!
