Prerequisites


Optional


Sailor Swipe


This trick is a Swipeknife with a tap to the floor before take off. It can also be a Sailor Swipe with an Hook Kick or a Sailor Hyperhook with a Roundkick.

Raiz with a floor tap before take off. Try to make this floaty and high instead of low and fast, so it’ll be easier to add variations to it. 



02 Swipeknife

If you can already do a Swipeknife, there is not much you need to change to transform this trick into a Sailor Swipkenife, since both tricks start with the upper body low to the ground.


03 Sailor Swipeknife

Well...just tap the floor before you takeoff. Very simple. Just make sure that the tap doesn’t interfere with your momentum. This is one of those tricks that are very hard by itself but become very easy once you have the prerequisites. 

Tips

You can also do this as a Sailor swipe + Hook. Just make sure you don’t land the swipe too early or else it’ll be hard to hook kick on target. Your toes should land facing the way you came from.

There is also the Sailor Jackknife, which stays vertical. For some it may be easier than this, so try it out if you struggle with this variation. They both benefit from each other.
