e/Sideswipe (trick)

New Query

Information
has glosseng: The Sideswipe is a more advanced tricking move and is sometimes called a "slant 540" or a "540 slant". While the concept is very similar to a 540, the mechanics of the two kicks are vastly different. Like a 540, the same leg is used for taking off, kicking and landing, however the similarities end there. The practitioner takes a step forward with the kicking leg, and then will begin the rotate their body back towards their rear leg. After approximately 90° of rotation, the knee of the rear leg will begin to rise up while the back begins to arch backwards and body continues to rotate another 90°. From here the practitioner will jump with the planted leg and begin to swing that leg over top into the kick while looking backwards. This essentially translates the horizontal rotation into a vertical rotation.
