you seem to have to basic movements down, but it looks more like a laid back cheat 720 due to lack of extension on both kicks [mainly the first kick] i know people really hate to here this but i would go back to your sideswipe and get it higher and more slicey if that make sense.

remember your hooking leg gives you lift in the beginning of the move so try to pull it high.

post updates later.

check out manny brown's swipeknife from his 2006 loopkicks sampler...
now thats a good example for a swipeknife with full extension...

I give you props for the attempt....swipeknife attempts scare the shit outta me....espacially after I started arching on my sideswipe :ogre:

holy crap yeah... Manny's is sick. thanks for the props, Sideswipes are just comfortable for me for some reason. So i just decided to try throwing a hook at the end.

Throw your hips into it first and get upside down. As soon as your leg reaches its extent switch your hips over and the 'hook' should come out kinda like an axe... but it'll FEEL like a hook.

Got some in this...

I just gotta ask you this first. You can jacknife right?
If you can't jacknife I'd get that before you swipeknife.
If you can jacknife show me a clip of that so that we can see if we can improve that first.

:dead: I CAN jacknife... but it's very ugly and it's a... 5% of the time type move. I'll definitely work on my sideswipes and jackknives today.

Yea man, I'd say get your jacknife down before you go swipeknife. Even if ya hate jacknife. Prereqs are where it's at.
