  i noe how.  kick hard on the ground once and don't sit upright like on a chair.  rebalance your body to horizontal (means lean to the back and put your legs straight ==> more or less you will become a wide-V shape).   i am a pro at swings when i was a kid.

  woah, this type of thing i dunno how to explain but i can swing above 90 deg from the ground (but with a death grip)
  
  when u are the high point backwards, u have to tighten ur body and push the weight down, legs together, straight in front, then relax but move your body a bit forward when u are up in front, bend legs, then relax again while swinging backwards...... then at the highest point, tighten and push weight down again

   

  have fun and hold tight!!!

  no leh. standing more difficult to swing high bcos more resistence due to bigger surface area
