Bboy Karton

[4343felix]

@hybridpure24 I got the Crab freeze as my first bboy move and I can hold it like 10 minutes and for the headstand took me like 15 days to get it

[4343felix]

@kamaks06 the windmilling is easier to learn than headspin because you need the crab/turtle freeze before getting to windmill and to learn the headspin you need to get headstand first which is headstand is much harder than crab freeze :)

[hybridpure24]

@4343felix That's strange i always thought that headspins would be easier... It might depend on the person because i got a headstand in like 15 minutes but i can only hold a crab freeze for like 3 seconds... What did you learn first?

[PrettiBoiTayRay]

78 people broke their arms trying to do it

[bangkok147]

dang a week or 2??

[calvincalze97]

nice n i want to learn. =)

[9robke123]

[rashidtajwar]

[MeaLyse]

@joeybra1234 Okay, I'll just practice ! Thank you :)

[genekeatley]

can you drop then do it ?

[TheRyuTatsu]

@genekeatley ya just go down onto ur knees like u set up not both at the same time one in front and one alittle behind it shouldnt hurt if ur doing it right (:

[MeaLyse]

@Musicsoulrhythm Hey, I have a question: I can't lift myself up I'm actually a girl :/ is it because I'm not muscular or because there's some sort of tip or whatever ?

[BboyMrKimo6]

@MeaLyse Try with other hand:)

[qaizali]

@joeybra1234 If you can do the thing properly then you should be able to but if your practicing then it is not advised to do it on cement

[xela4d2]

hey im falling onto my shoulder and i have a bruise right on the top- is that normal?

[techdecklover253]

@xela4d2 yes

[theAwesomE013]

Good tutorial.

[cr3yola]

it's not as ez as it looks..i cnt get my body off tha ground lol

[TheIvymonster]

its hard with boobes

[antonioMuSiC001]

Im not sure how I should kick.

[N8Pk888]

@antonioMuSiC001

you're supposed to keep your legs as straight and wide as possible, so when you kick, kick by using your thigh muscles. if you try kicking with your feet, you end up bending your legs.

[darlan453]

tb treino gente a uma semana ve so meu trailer

watch?v=JQYIIW1NIeA

[kmoneythreat1]

this video is hard

[Dragonman290]

[Eminemkayal94]

@crazyassfunkymonkey oh Ok Thanx alot for help:)

[Eminemkayal94]

should i learn first a freez or somthing i mean what the moves i have to do first inorder to be able to do the windmill???

[crazyassfunkymonkey]

@Eminemkayal94 I think the turtle freeze is pretty important cus thats the position you start off on(:

[mdkzx]

THANK YOU SO MUCH ive been doing them on my back since but now on my shoulder and now its getting better :D

[elajidDJ01]

thats fun men, thanks



[tomozcanfly]

Do you need to have good balance or good strength in your arms when your rolling into your shoulder?

[Zihenroy]

2 weeks? lol would take about few hours

[MrRambonerific]

i think i just broke Josh and Timothy, and to answer ur next question, yes, i name my but cheeks, helps me get through the pain...

[joseph923513]

[nezar1989]

pls help

:))

[JaynDayTV]

@nezar1989 learn back spin

[iamjoseph951]

i've got a pretty good kick and push off but i need helping lifting my hip from the ground. Any advice?

[thefreshcent]

i can get that momentum but I cant get from the freeze onto my shoulders, i always end up on my back.. any suggestions?

[Intensifyingduck]

@thefreshcent

when your in the freeze try rolling onto your shoulder slowly

and everytime you try go abit faster, same thing happened to me but not anymore.

what your doing is probably springing (pushing off) to hard which makes you hit your back instead of rolling :P

[Tophiesg99]

Now wers the gut? :/  0:52

[Intensifyingduck]

@Tophiesg99

The gut is your stomach man hahahha

[MrCheeser124]

Why can everyone dance better than me?!?!?

[Comedyclan13]

i dont dance but i wana lurn this will i be able to do this im only 14

[Intensifyingduck]

@Comedyclan13

dude i am 14 and i can windmill and flare

its easy.

practise is all it needs

it literally took me two weeks (but the flare takes longer)

i garuantee yoou will be able to this in 3 weeks max!!!

this is the vid that tought me

keep practising while watching and you will get the hang of it earlier trust me

ANYBODY can do a windmill :P

hope you succeed!!!

[rfinky]

[crackacolafresh]

great tutorial man thanks! been doin all the footwork since i was little like moon and cripwalkin and all that gravy haha but ive always wanted to learn how to windmill like an animal. stoked to get this down for prom XD

[ichigohot]

when you do windmills, does it hurt your upper spine and how long you mastered them? o:

[YippyYieYo]

is that carpet? just saying because i have no other place to practivee but cement or carpet

[marillblue118]

@YippyYieYo I think he is doing it on carpet. The best place to practice bboy moves are preferably on wood or if you have cement, see if you can find a large piece of cardboard that you can put on the cement and break dance on.

[DJ817FELONY]

IT T00K ME A WHILE T0 GET THE WINDMILL D0WN...LIKE A M0NTH I USED T0 BLEED ON MA RIGHT WRIST FROM PUSHIN OFF SO MUCH...IT WAS KRAZY ID HAVE A WRIST BAN...AFTER A WHILE I DID UP T0 LIKE 20 MINDMEALS WITHOUT MA HANDS!:)

[Benjiboennen]

@DJ817FELONY Haha, same happened to me :)!

[VinnyboiiDeezy]

Ur advice is better than the other guys thank u!

[Ashybod1]

i dont got a damn knot on my knee :((

[sygen18]

aw i broke my arm



[sygen18]

wow i did it yehey



[Utubemannnnnnn]

once I'm on my back, do I have to "pop" up to get to restab? anyone know?

[ClooProduction]

i cant spin my leg :(

[winsolo]

2:46 is the key.

[vextolic]

this video really helps :)

[vextolic]

@kamaks06 deffinately easier to learn to do a head spin. took me a couple days to be able to do heads spins of ten or more and a week and a half for a windmill

[EwokHunterz]

when i go for the restab, i cant keep the momentum going and i end up swinging to low.

[markjokestar1]

Can you hurt someone by doing windmills? lol

[FidoFurball]

OMFG RUG BURNNN OWWWW!!! :(

[ookeechi]

@FidoFurball

I KNOW RIGHTT!!

I have a big burn on my right shoulder

[artchel1]

@FidoFurball

that's why you don't practice on carpet

[OllieDaSkater]

louisverrell: good demon strations I still cant do it

[BEAT4EVA]

@kamaks06 headspins are alot easier. Windmills are relatively easy but alot of people like me have trouble on the restab and take about a month after learning the basics just to learn the restab. Headspins can be perfected in 3 weeks if you practice about 2 hours a day. The best windmill tutorial on YouTube is one by soccer1rocker watch it just type in windmill tutorial on the YouTube search bar it should be one of the first vids up. It helped me and he's a friendly guy so you can can ask him A

[kamaks06]

Which is easier to learn-windmilling or headspinning???

[the5funkymonkeys]

@kamaks06 headspinning 1nce u know how to hedstand it easy,make ur hedstand strong then spin 180 degreees etc. hope this helps!

[NickBodyPopper]

@kamaks06 windmill

[elmoONcp]

@kamaks06 depends if you can headstand really good then headspin

if you can babyfreeze and stuff then windmill

[MagardMagictoo]

@kamaks06 headspinning... for me..

[TheFabledAngels]

@kamaks06 windmill by far

[SA1nJ1N]

@kamaks06 Probably windmill

[BboyAsianBoy]

@kamaks06 headspinning is mostly balancing your self on your head + the momentum you have while spinning, windmills about the momentum you have on the push off and the kicking then the restab to the handglide position.

[qaizali]

@kamaks06 Windmill

[McFresh54]

@kamaks06 windmilling

[ThatboyLeng]

@kamaks06 it depends witch you practice

[TheRyuTatsu]

@kamaks06 headspinning fo sho

[SarmisSimras]

@kamaks06 headspins....my opinion

[PmacGeo]

@kamaks06 windmill windmill windmill

[Dacandybar]

@kamaks06 it depends cause head spins need a lot of balance and windmill kinda needs muscle to it (:

[MrCheeser124]

1:35 if I came in right then, I'd call 911 lol just kidding

[aimerlicious]

keep pressin 1:25

[darealTyler]

dam ur a beast at tht

[Shady19Drift12King]

i cant land on my shoulders...

[darnellace]

would you recommend doing pushups for strength?

[FatPunks8]

I keep hittin my hip on the floor... And when I kick and push of I can't control it and I end up bangin my hip on the floor :( any tips?

[jesus123123ful]

hey thanks i could do a windmill now thanks keep it up!(:

[IMPETERLOL]

Nice bro I have problem with the starting off but I can flare and drop down to windmill but I dunno if I'm doing it right

[Cyrix166]

[7star86]

[techdecklover253]

@TheMjj12 drink milk lol

[citiz3]

Yo,, B-Boy.

I Got this motion going but it is the second Rotation where the arms need positioning. Any Tips??

[FatPunks8]

Dude! Your the best for breakdancing tips!

[lloutullo]

nice work man :D

[ryanjdigiorgio]

Yo, great stuff man.

[1andonlyJosh]

i have no space to practice... any suggestions?

[ryanjdigiorgio]

@1andonlyJosh Go to a children's park where they have the rubber based flooring around the playset. Usually plenty of roof at places like that. Otherwise, maybe get a gym mat if you can afford it and practice outside. :)

[1andonlyJosh]

@ryanjdigiorgio ok i have the starting position... how do i spin efficiently?

[ryanjdigiorgio]

@1andonlyJosh I'm still working on that. :\ Windmills aren't my top priority right now but I thought I'd help you find a place to practice. :)

[1andonlyJosh]

i have no space to practice... help please?

[Phrantix08]

this video is expertly done as far as tutorial wise, my problem, you do it counterclockwise, and i am a righty lol but what i used this video as, a mirror video so technically that wasnt even a problem at all, so i learned by watching the screen without the mirror basically if that makes sense to some people, so this is the only perfect tutorial for the windmill for me, thnx for the video man.

[micheljackson09]

my gut is pretty f*cked up try'n to balance myself and im doin what you say though any tips please

[westsidebreaker1]

yo i can doo one but cant keep it going

[carl1234514]

if i am a right handed people...what shall i do CW or CCW?

[Phrantix08]

@carl1234514 if your right handed, just copy his video as if it was a mirror infront of you, you dont have to do it CCW if you are a right and feel you should do it CW, i had the same issue your having, so i figured i would throw you a tip, beginner to beginner (if you arent a beginner i apolagyze), hope this helped

[KennyOWNZz]

and that's what happens when you use a calculator to record.

[driftingmachine96]

when i put my elbow in my gut it hurts shoud i do it on an empty stomach>? :(

[MrSoultaker432]

[ltlornado]

[NerdAbiIity]

[RenegadeKira23]

@NerdAbiIity theyre called halo's, but you use hands to keep yourself up when your about to crash down

[axcelerate]

i had a hard time to collapse,when i collapse i always hit my hip bone,any suggestion

[Thos3AznK1ds]

What's the first songs name ?

[Masterz0fMayhem]

when i do the windmill i stop on my back...any tips???

[akipet98]

nice it is very helpful just 1 q are u doing it on carpet or on floor?

[fspker911]

Does alot of strength require for windmills? and is this the same thing for right hand but your just showing left hand?

[ArceKid]

Wats da name of da song at da beginnin PLzz reply =)

[universoulmudkip]

i cant even windmill at all :(

i dont know, does anyone do "Flares" counterclockwise and then do their 6 step or w.e clockwise?

because i cant even get the leg motion correct when i try windmills, and i cant even backspin going clockwise.

and i feel like i can flare counterclockwise, but then i freeze with my right hand

[forblaze74]

It bugs me cause I can freeze perfectly and hold it for a long time. Then when I try to windmill I can't get myself to spin 360 or even close. I do like a 180 :-( Any suggestions???

[rotarnah]

Restabing is the harder part for me. I cant get it down. >.< When I go and try to restab I HAVE to stop and use my left foot to stop, and then push off again.

Uhh any suggestions?

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@rotarnah Ya that could be difficult at times. But that elbow in your gut...if its on the side then it will be more weight for you to carry

[CrazyBlackLama]

@Muzicsoulrhythm y does is hurt when i push my left arm

[jswaggerston]

@rotarnah eat a dick

[jetlifearless420]

@rotarnah i dont really know how to fix that but i just kick harder and role onto my shoulder blade instead of gonig into the restabbing part

[ichigohot]

somehow, when i push my left arm, it starts hurting. :/

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@ichigohot probably havent built that strenth in your wrist yet. The more you do it the stronger it will get

[ichigohot]

so, for doing your windmills, you don't need to use your legs, but as motion? o.o

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@ichigohot YES! swinging legs is very important=momentum

[steviepatify]

I love your videos! They help a lot, but no offense, did you want you hat to come of towards the end?

[DPStickMaster]

Wow thank you, you told me to land on my shoulder. That helped alot!!! Thanks

[bchung93]

i dont know if this will help but i got it after thinking of going from that freeze to a backspin

[MsMb4life]

it hurts i do it on tile i keep landing on my shoulder

[n03lb34st]

I JUST LEANRED HOW TO WINDMILL. AND I LEARNED THAT THE COLLAPSE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE WINDMILL. WEN I COLLAPSE FALL ONTO YOUR SHOULDER. PLUS THE RESTAB

[LaurenluvxD]

When I try doing it my hand just oddly twists and hurts...

[thehayleypop]

you make it look so much easyer! (but its not so easy xD)

[shadde94]

I mean for a video done on the fly, this is extremely good. I thought i had all the techniques down but i couldnt figure out what to do with my hand. Thank you so so much for showing what to do with it. Really nice video :)
