Sentence structure with verbs of movement.

Hello!

Here's the situation

While dealing with sentence structure, I learnt that with verbs of movement, the HOW position and WHERE position switch places.

Example: I drove to the city quickly. V.S. He sang quietly on the stage.

how about Quickly, I drove to the city?

Are these ok? (if they relate to the subj. at all)

He climbed trees in the park curiously.
The soldiers left the Humvee in the desert quietly.
The mad man kicked the can into the puddle without thinking.
The movers put the fridge in the kitchen upside down while moving, becouze it was in a box.
Booster caught the Frisbee in his mouth tight.
A busy street tossed and moved downstairs silently.
He went back to his house in vain.
