Just my $.02 worth, but when I think of leg sweeps in aikido, I think of droping infront of approaching uke and sweeping both of their legs from front ot back. We generally do this as an option in randori.

There is video of O'Sensei doing this in at least one of the aikinews tapes ("Takemusu aiki" or "Way of Harmony" I think).

Regards,
