I have Chris in my guard.

I underhook my right arm through his legs and swing both my legs up. At the same time trapping his right arm with my left. I want to get completely sideways, shoulder to his knee

My left leg swings down and my right over towards the floor above his shoulders. I use my right arm to push his leg up, as if trying to straighten it.

As he goes over I keep tight and keep a hold of his leg, and use my left elbow to help me up.

Cool!! Thanks for posting that Andrew!! :ultracool :ultracool
 
Continues to be one of my bread and butter sweeps, in conjunction with the hip bump sweep (which it looks like Andrew posted too, it'll be the next thread I check out). With this and the hip bump you have a sweep for when they base forward, and when they base backward.

Thanks Andrew.
 
Nice technique.

Consider that when he resists the armbar he is open to the sweep.
 
I enjoy this sweep quite a bit in conjunction with the armbar as well. It is also lot's of fun to counter this particular technique.(definately a surprise
