Exercise – Master Swipe
The Master Swipe is an advanced beginner level transition skill in our tricking curriculum. It is a great combo-opening trick that transitions easily to other movements. Learning the master scoot is foundational to the progression of grand master swipes and more.
If you twist to the left, start in a ready stance and then lean to your right and put most of your weight on your right foot. You may also step forward like it’s shown in the video. Then pick up your left foot to “miss your leg” as you lean to your left quickly and reach towards the ground with your left hand. You then land on both hands (left before right) and continue the momentum and land like a cartwheel: Kick backward with your right leg as you get into a sideways handstand and turn your hips a full 180° and land on your right leg. Your chest should be facing away from the direction you began and you should be in a lunge position with your right leg in front and your left leg back to finish.
Mastering the Scoot is key to unlocking many new tricking skills. Take it to the next level by integrating this skill with other movements.
