Physics of Windmills

il te manque 3 étapes dans ton windmill

[d3b4y4n]

ur physics sux...

[VinhzCastle]

@d3b4y4n i made a 5 on the AP physics test and got an A in physics 2 at my university. I wish i could've done better too....

[TheFur007]

@VinhzCastle

Help me please? Whenever I do windmills I move a really long distance to the right and when I see people doing it they stay in the same spot, how u do it?

[VinhzCastle]

@TheFur007 i really don't know how to fix it but you can try rotating your body faster and see if that helps

[tomteazter]

so just wondering, im working on windmills and do u need 2 do that stall thing 2 do them or can u just coin drop in2 it, i nevr understood that

[VinhzCastle]

@tomteazter it'd be best to do the stall thing (i'm assuming starting from the turtle position), if you're learning windmills. once you can do continuous windmills like that, then you should start doing it from a coin drop. stall first. coin drop after

[thianbao11]

i want to use this for my physics project. lol

[lxie27]

Heh. Explaining the beanie physics. :3

[rillilliam]

This really helped me isolate what I needed to do to improve my windmills. Thanks.

[TheGKANE123]

cool

[KiingEddy]

You have a nice coin drop!

[cantflare123]

what the song?

Reminds me back in physics class. Everything was all great until it came to light...

[BboyyJams]

Yo you go to a nice ass school. It looks all big and shit.

[VinhzCastle]

@BboyyJams it's actually not that big. there's only about 2000 kids

[JonattanD]

I'm also having the same problem as YoojMr but when i try flexing my leg i loose momentum thus i keep bending my legs so i can go on. i also have another problem is i spend to much time on my shoulder which probably makes me loose allot of momentum which may also makes it harder for me to keep legs straight any suggestion?

[VinhzCastle]

@JonattanD hmm maybe you need to work on your flexibility and stretch more. do you have any videos i can see so i can help you better?

[JonattanD]

@VinhzCastle watch?v=VdIHLtYedPc

i dint stretch before doing these...

[VinhzCastle]

@JonattanD other than stretching more, the main problem is that you're not kicking your right leg hard enough towards your face. the faster you turn over to get to your back, the easier it'll be to kick your right leg. let me know if this helps.

[JonattanD]

@VinhzCastle thx it helps my windmills are slower now but at least my legs are perfect i'm gonna keep practicing so i can increase the momentum.

[VinhzCastle]

@JonattanD np. if you wanna increase speed tho, swing your legs harder and twist your shoulders faster. glad i could help

[ne0l0]

@JonattanD Hey there, I noticed something that helped alot is taking the swinging leg and kick it to your face and to hold it there...kind of :)

[YoojMr]

i have trouble keeping my legs straight when i kick. please help!

[VinhzCastle]

@YoojMr flex your legs and your abs as hard as you can and spread your legs as wide as you can. try to think of over exaggerating it. see if that works lol

[ZFresh44]

why are almost every video is you in the school hallway?

[VinhzCastle]

@ZFresh44 cuz i had no where else to record lol

[mpforeverunlimited]

haha it was funny when you explained the beanie flying off

[seymourglass26]

I'm always trying to improve my power, and as a hell of an engineer, I love videos that go to such detail in outlining the physics of bboying.

[puanrog1]

whats the song

[pistachiosftw1]

woah awesome man. how old are you?

[510WP0K3]

Im Subbin :D

[susskai]

when I wind mill I sometimes land on my hips which hurts alot and isn't the right way I know but when I land on my shoulders it hurts as well is that supposed to happen or am I doing it wrong cos my friends all say that b-boy moves should never hurt unless you are doing it wrong

[VinhzCastle]

@susskai if you're hitting your hips, most likely you need to kick your first leg up to your face more (in my case, my right leg). if you're hitting your shoulder, try collapsing smoother and slower. see if that helps

[weareelectricc]

To tell the truth I think both legs are just wide spread, it's got to do with centrifugal forces and centripetal forces. None of them "kicks", and the acceleration of the rotation comes from our shoulders.

[VinhzCastle]

@weareelectricc the shoulders are a major part of windmills if you want to rotate faster and get higher in the back

[raffystarex22]

please help me :(( i cant restab after i does 3/4 windmill.

[VinhzCastle]

@raffystarex22 do you go clockwise or counterclockwise? if you go CCW like me, you need to kick harder with your left leg and push the ground with your right shoulder and vise versa for CW

[raffystarex22]

@VinhzCastle THANKS BRO :D ill do that

[BboySoulja1]

The ground is so....white

[XenonAgenT01]

lol physics on the beanie. Thats pro

[disaznboii19148]

Don't bend your legs while doing windmills.

[Talesfan13]

I never knew Physics would help me learn windmills. Awesome!

[lostinYourReality]

O man I wished we learned the physics of power move. would've been interesting.

[QuoTzyPH]

lol redbull bc one hong 10 vs ronnie

[sd99944]

hahaha the 2nd to last comment :P very nice now I understand more why I can't get mine, my legs are probably too close so I go too fast for me personally to catch so my legs always drop because of the lower inertia please correct me if I'm wrong I wanna make sure I have a good understanding of it.

[VinhzCastle]

@sd99944 yeah you're sorta right. basically, the wider your legs are, the easier you'll be able to control it because you can control every kick and you can go at a slower pace

[xemmnes]

okay when i try and do it i can never get the second spin cuz i cant kick my other foot out any tips for that?

[VinhzCastle]

@xemmnes do you go CW or CCW and which leg are you referring to?

[xemmnes]

@VinhzCastle cw,ccw? i usualy cant kick out my left leg im a righty so i start with my left leg but i usualy stop in a turtle but i usualy just cant get that kick i just kinda fall out of it sometimes too, i think i need more momentum im not sure

[VinhzCastle]

@xemmnes clockwise or counterclockwise? i'm assuming you stab with your right hand. hmmm can you give me a little more description please?

[xemmnes]

@VinhzCastle i go ccw XD and yes i stab with the right, i can get the first one. but if i was to try and continue it my feet usualy hit each other or they dont get enough speed for the second one because i cant keep it going so it just ends with me droping my legs

[VinhzCastle]

@xemmnes hmmm make sure you're getting enough momentum and speed when you're doing your initial windmill. you should be turning yourself (sorta like a handglide) before you collapse and start your windmill. also, while one leg is kicking towards your ear, you have to quickly swing the other leg under your kicking leg. turning your shoulders also helps you gain more speed. let me know if this helps

[xemmnes]

@VinhzCastle okay i just tried that, and i helped get the second one going better, so im just going to keep doing it till i get it right, thank you so much :D

[VinhzCastle]

@xemmnes glad i could help. try to pay attention to every detail when watching it in slow motion too. that might help.

[xemmnes]

@VinhzCastle by the way, great channel. you explain and show everything perfectly its very helpful

[heaven9695]

the first time when i spin, my hips hurt D: why?

[VinhzCastle]

@heaven9695 you need to kick your leg harder. kick left leg if you're going CW and kick your right leg if you're going CCW like me.

[YouMeWeFail]

LOL at the beanie part!

[master12345rw]

EL break dance parace facil pero en realidad es muy dificil :S

these are very interesting videos you have, and you deserve more views than you have right now, and i am subscribing.

[VinhzCastle]

@VeradoonKing thank you. please spread my videos around

[DennisNguyener]

In this case would air resistance be negligible? what about your center of mass? is it at your cu?

[VinhzCastle]

@DennisNguyener yes i'm too strong to consider drag. My center of mass is closest to my nipples and cu
