@vangsta1997 yea, when you restab make sure your legs don't touch the floor and drag and press hard on the hand you don't stab on.

[patelkedar]

Can you help me with my windmills?

I actually get to the other side but pretty bad form. i still don't know why I get stuck.

I'm pretty much at my final stages of windmill cause I get a mill and a half.

[thucster5]

can u take a look at my windmills in my channel?

[solar4321]

I have a question, how do I keep my hips high? like I've been doing only a windmill for months now but whenever I try to go for second round I always have to use my foot to tip a bit so i can make my hips high, I think I'm not stabbing high enough when im coming back to position but idk.

[msaddict123]

@solar4321 whew just like me

[Drumm3rbumboy]

@solar4321 when you kick, kick high up, itll bring you on your shoulders and high on your hips

[dabbuful]

hey TheXenogias i can do stalled windmills

i mean i can get back 2 handglide position but

due to dis my shoulder is full of scratches

my shoulder was badly injured due to scratches

is it normal if isnt pls tell me my falt

[TheXenogias]

@dabbuful yeah its normal i busted up my shoulder a lot when i was learning. wear a sweater or something and make u let it heal.

[FiLotheDancer]

i use to have that problem

[LOLaZnWaFfL3S]

HAHA OMG I GOT A WINDMILL! THNX subED (:

[andyhoster08]

hey thanks man! very helpful!

[gerrardfan27]

i've got some problems here...when im in a hanglide position then kick my legs high up and turn..i've hurt badly at my hips..btw my mill is a clockwise position. pls help..after a week i hurt badly on my hips...cant even do a freeze..the main thing is i cant get back to a hanglide pos and hurt my hip bones.

[TheXenogias]

@gerrardfan27

you're not collapsing properly that's why. you're probably just slamming right down on your hips. the problem here is because you aren't kicking your legs correctly. put more strength into the kick. if you're clockwise make sure you kick that left leg really hard and UP. this will allow you to go on your shoulder instead of your hips.

[joecool1010]

This is exactly where I have problems with my windmills. I dunno what it is but after I push myself up into the restab my right shoulder (I too go counter-clockwise) will feel like its strained. But when it doesnt that's when my legs are too low and eventually hit the ground once I get into the restab. I've also been working on my mills for a lil over a month now.

[TheXenogias]

@joecool1010

put more strength into the kick. the harder you kick the better. the more you go on your shoulders the easier it is. it is probably strained because you are too low on your back and rolling down there makes it way more difficult to re-stab. so make sure you get down the initial kick and stay high on your shoulders. its a lot smoother to roll there than down your torso.

[Azndude111]

hey i know how to do this and all i do clockwise and i need help keeping my Right leg/legs off the ground

[TheXenogias]

at what point is your right leg hitting the ground?

[ipohkengyeah]

hmm. thx 4 sharing.

i wud cont practice hard no matter hw fucked up it can be.

[naurtochaos]

nooo srry i dont have vid camera but i still cant connect my windmills!

i have the motion and my feet barely hit the ground but once i get the second windmill i get out of balanced or something and it fails

you should make a vid of you doing a strong windmill and puttin git in slow motion!

that would be tight!

[ipohkengyeah]

i dunahv videocam. haha.

but i really hope my effort pays off.

really alot of frustration.

can share to me ur frustrations while learnin mills so that it can be inspiration to me n others ?

[TheXenogias]

lol yes it was hugely frustrating for me. i would always be sweating after a couple mins and i would get so mad cuz i couldn't get em. i even wore something on my legs to keep em straight but that didn't work either. i've tried many methods and watched every single tutorial. but the one thing that got me to where i am today was not giving up on it and i'm so fortunate to have no given up. just keep at it dude, i can promise you that you'll get it, no matter how frustrating it can get.

[naurtochaos]

AHHHHHH holy shit wait i think i got it

i was forgetting to put my head down!!

[TheXenogias]

lol good job. do you have a video on your progress?

[naurtochaos]

i feel like i have all the motion down and everything but my keep httin gthe floor and its really slowing me down! how do i get them high in the air!?

[ipohkengyeah]

im able to keep my head low n i felt my legs were higher in the air. my prob nw is i cant restab to handglide. my hands jz cant seemed to put back in the gut in time.

i jz stop after 1 rotation even i felt my legs are high up because i din restab. help ??

sumtimes i turn my upper body too fast i guess that i hurt my right shoulder. pls help. tqtq

[TheXenogias]

at least you're getting good momentum. the thing is that your hands should always be tucked in the entire time ready for the next rotation. re-stabbing comes with practice and getting your brain used to that motion. keep it up, you'll get it soon.

[ipohkengyeah]

gettin into continuos is frustratin for me. but i believe this video truly give tips.

my head tend to look up n din stay low. n after 1 rotation i just duno wud to do next n stop. zzz

[TheXenogias]

hope it helps. lemme know how its going after a few days of training.

[ilyas404]

i slow down when i stab i cant get smooth continuous windmills why? is sumthin wit my back leg?

[dedatusro]

this is awesome

[lifprasir]

you're, i clearly state, VERY flexible. o_o

[sadochist]

Thanks man ;) I could'nt do a windmil for two month until I saw this tutorial, and finally I get it.. I thought that problem was with legs, but actually problem was with my upper body.

[TheXenogias]

glad it helped :)

[mayan212]

id also like to post a video response to this since i've been really frustrated trying to get mills for a while! ill chuck it up tomorrow

[TheXenogias]

cool i'll check it out

[Flashlegz]

Good stuff, as soon as i get some footage of my latest mills I'll post a response.

One tip that helped me out lately was delaying the collapse and getting more height.

[TheXenogias]

thanks
