[mimi09672]

[TheRsnerd1234]

We don't want to see your butt in the beginning!!!:P

[xenghuong]

This shit is hard

[AsianxBboi]

is there a trick to keeping my head off the ground? i keep like dragging it each mill and hitting my head....

[jnj1255]

Ive been trying to do windmills for two weeks now, and i cant get it, can you check out my video to see what i am doing wrong, search up jnj1255,thx.

[BBoyChrispy]

I can never keep my legs spread out or straight enough to make it on my back. I always tend to close them. Any advice?

[KonMan06]

this is great stuff, whats the song btw

[Satisfactory84]

cant keep my hips up and legs spread!!! help!!!!

[wafahaslan]

lol at 2:46 .

But thanks for the info :D

help me duh

[shrime]

man what is the name of this chill ass song

[ChRiSLiHoT]

yeah very kool :))))))

[sukarestu]

In my case

I lierally have trouble doing freezes

Even with my face planted

I got the shoulder trick but just not enough momentum, its like im just sliding on the ground

I think its my legs mainly, i cant whip them as hard

They just stay planted on the ground

Only true way i got to the stage with my back on the ground was the elbow drop, then the momentum becomes too weak for me to even go back to turtle

They say practice makes perfect, it seems more like failure makes nothing in my case

[digimaster89]

haha dont lose faith in yourself

a good way to practice freezes is slowly with your feet touching the ground. Find that spot and slowly lift your legs off. ill make another tutorial.

[sukarestu]

Honestly i see where you getting at

Thats how i got my bent legs up

But.. idk if i can say its my long legs or i just cant use my body to lift it up

When i try to freeze in turtle my legs just drop

No joke

Should i go ahead on a 100 sit ups daily basis?

[digimaster89]

perhaps pushups and handstands.

[tosf0]

i need help on mills!

[digimaster89]

do you have footage?

[tosf0]

@digimaster89 yep!

[darkvulcan14]

ok so im tryin to learn mills and i can get 1 pretty clean but i cant get into the second one. every time i try i just cant collapse on the second one. and i cant go higher on my mills cause i use to do them high but all that did was rip up my shoulder. i need help bad.

[cloudbboy1]

this is really helping me thx so much!!i tried to do windmill be4 but i couldnt do it then i watch ur video and i can kinda undrstnd!! 5/5

[knightbate]

When i do my windmills its like i cant keep them high and and i cant stab it back either i spin my back to much or..? Can you help me please? Thanks and great tip :]

[sayzmark]

hey.why when i have my first swing , my butt will hit to the ground and produce a loud sound ? but i did a swing sucessfully,just dont know why that's a sound

[yongchunkungfu]

hey any way to get higher on yr back like rolling on yr shoulders? coz i kinda keep hitting my lower back real hard.. and i cant rotate after that.

[digimaster89]

you want to try and get high on your shoulder, do that by tucking your head in. and that will naturaly make your back arch upwards. forcing you to go on your back. what might help too is to swing your power leg higher.

[darkcaper703]

does a standin windmill help u get more momentum?

[digimaster89]

not as much, it depends on your intial whip, if you get alot of momentum from the ground, you can get alot of momentum standing.

[bboyEndless00]

hey man can u check my barrel video and give me tips, i cant seem to get one

[bognorboy101]

stop it at 0:20 he looks like his hands coming out of his ass lol

[VersatileMind4Christ]

So the collapse is before swinging the right leg?

1. Kick up

2. Rotate (in freeze)

3. Switch legs

4. COLLAPSE

5. Swing Right leg

[digimaster89]

haha close its actually

1. freeze

2. rotate legs

3. rotate hips

4. rotate shoulders

5 COLLAPSE

6.continue legs and hips in circular motion like its your LIFE

[VersatileMind4Christ]

Add me. I plan to upload videos. I would like you to see my progression.

As long as I get the collapse and whip I'll be a happy!

So far I do these things naturally without thinking about them when practicing. When I think too hard, that's when I mess up.

[VersatileMind4Christ]

Still practicing lol

[deadinc007]

hi brother i really liked your windmills... i wanna ack you that i can do one rotation clean and smooth, but cann't connect for the other rotations. because when i come back to the starting position i donot reach up.. i couldnot raise my left leg up to kick my right leg under it... i also do clckwise... plzzzz give me a tip so that i could improve and connect my mills...

[digimaster89]

what might be your problem is you are not rotating your shoulders, that is something you must do and youll find it esier to go into your baby freeze starting position. try that and tell me how it goes.

[huntsnewy]

yo madness TAC nice vid! thanks

[digimaster89]

haha thanks =)

[uchihaikklee]

lol step 1 show ur ass to thhe camera XD

[ogbboydavid]

[kimeo198]

geez can seee ur mother haha

nice vid

thanks

[disha0987]

i love this vid

[digimaster89]

haha thanks =P

[bgirl788]

Man! Your the BEST windmill teacher! You`re the first clockwise teacher too.

[lilredsoftball13]

i am new to a windmill and when i do it i spot spinning at about 180 degrese from were i started,..so and tips on being able to spin the whole 360 on just 1 rotation?

[digimaster89]

turn your legs, hips, and shoulders all the way

[DeSung75]

this tut is pro good job

[Thaneswaran9999]

im still having trouble with the right leg it keeps stoping when im on my back why is that

[narutokard]

u isnt kicking hard enought

[Thaneswaran9999]

wait, i go clockwise so shouldnt i whip my right leg high to get on my shoulder. Anyways i can now get up on my shoulder but i dont think im doing it right cause when i turn to restab my hips fall back down

[Thaneswaran9999]

how do you get up onto your high shoulder

[digimaster89]

you have to whip your left leg high so it forces your shoulder yo go high. ill post a vid up soon.

[Thaneswaran9999]

how do you keep continuing to kick your right leg when your on your back because mine keeps stoping

[digimaster89]

think of drawing a BIG circle with your right leg, cause it looks like its stopping on your back. dont stop it keep it going, keep drawing that circle with your foot.

[Thaneswaran9999]

i posted the video, its on my chaneel can you see it and see whats wrong with it

[Thaneswaran9999]

how do you keep your hips elevated when you go for a restab my left leg keeps scraping the floor

[Thaneswaran9999]

digimaster89, do i post it as a video response??

[digimaster89]

haha yea sure

[Thaneswaran9999]

ya sure so how do i send it to you sorry kinda new to youtube

[Thaneswaran9999]

and how do you keep your hips elevated when you go for a restab mine

[digimaster89]

can you sen me a vid of your windmills? i can help you if i can see whats wrong.

[Thaneswaran9999]

and why does my left leg keep touching the ground when i go for a restab. i go clockwise

[Thaneswaran9999]

so how do you go on your upper back because i keep landing on my back and how do you keep your hips elvated when coming for a restab

[candycornwitch]

amazing, LOL @ the person in orange at the end =]

[Thaneswaran9999]

so how do you go on your upper back because i keep landing on my back

[Thaneswaran9999]

how do you collapse on your high shoulder i think im collapsing on my back but i can still spin

[digimaster89]

you still spin but its better to go on your upper back near your shoulders, you know like when you do a kip up

[Thaneswaran9999]

my left leg i go clockwise and my left foot scrapes the floor

[digimaster89]

swing your left leg faster and your right leg higher.

[Thaneswaran9999]

when i come around for my secod mill my leg keeps touching the floor

[digimaster89]

which leg? whichever leg that touches the ground, means that your moving that leg too slow.

[PhyTRIX]

you're doin a freeze at the beginning right? to start off the windmill? cant see it properly.

[digimaster89]

you dont really have to do a freeze, just stab your arm, and you feet can touch the ground. just get that initial swing and your good.

[K4zKyzah]

I already got my windmill down since my last post ^^ hehe, but the only problem that they still dont look like your windmills, I bend my legs a little bit when I restab and there is a tiny pause before throwing the next windmill.

What do I need to do now? become more flexible?

[digimaster89]

when you bend your legs, thats a sign your not whipping them, its good that you can mill and stab, now you just have to learn how to follow through the stab. thats why i say roll on your shoulders cause it makes it smoother. work on whipping through your stab and it should be much smoother, flexibility really helps but you dont need to be flexible to do this move well.

[K4zKyzah]

what do you mean whipping?

like swinging the legs?

[digimaster89]

yeah swinging of the legs, dont stop it lol

[Kirby617]

I still have trouble on how to re stab.I got how to do the windmill from standing,but still need help on re stab only.

[swtazzpnoy]

got the collapse and i can get a full rotation but my prob is getting the the rotatioon on my shoulders instead of my back which keeps me from getting into the the stab again and doing another rotation. any tips on that xD? or is it just something i gotta keep trying until i get it ?

[digimaster89]

the way you get higher on your shoulders is you tuck your head in. look towards your crotch while you are whipping your legs, this curves your back and makes it easier to roll on your shoulders, making it easier to spin, ill revise something on this, keep updated.

[swtazzpnoy]

alright thx dude

[Kirby617]

Ok,I did it but I'm trying to learn how to re stab and keeping my legs split.I also need some tips to do it from standing.

[digimaster89]

get it down stabbed, then ill help you with the rest. to make it easy to restab keep your elbows close to your chest so that when you roll over you just quickly restab.

[Kirby617]

Hey thanks.I needed to learn how to do the windmill clockwise since i use my right hand to support my body.I am going to try it.

[digimaster89]

good luck, tell me how it goes.

[darness13]

uhmm how long did it take to learn this move?

[digimaster89]

Not too long, about 2 months, then another week to get them no handed and nutcrackers.

[Pastel09john]

thx guy..it s helpful

[irule1697]

ok btw whats the name of the song?

[digimaster89]

Recurring by Bonobo

[iP1501]

i cant get into another windmill like as soon as i get to my side to do another collapse my legs hit the ground wat should i do?

[irule1697]

very nice!

thanks

[digimaster89]

no problem i hope it helped.

[hackerplease1]

i still dont get how u do more than 1 i keep hurting the middle of my back

[digimaster89]

rotate your shoulders quicker, and roll on you back slowly to your shoulders, that should help you out a lill bit.

[EmceeMiyabi]

PERFECT! I'm clockwise also, it's tough to find clockwise tutorials (I'm lazy, don't try to reverse the text haha)

Real helpful

[drkaznruler]

nice ass o-o and great tutorial, i couldnt stop but watch you mindmill opver and over again...

[more13etter]

Great tutorial. I needed a tutorial on doing it from standing. Thanks a bunch.

[K4zKyzah]

OK here we go.

I tried to windmill with restabbing technique like what you have shown, for like 3 months, but i just couldnt keep going, everytime i restabbed and finished the first mill my legs fell on the ground.

My breakdance coach told me i should try to use both of my hands and push the ground without stabbing.

what do you think i should do?

[digimaster89]

the problem is in your legs, you discontinue to kick them, when you stop your legs, the momentum that you gained from kicking them is lost and it is harder to go back into your stab, work on the whipping motion and remember to keep it going.

[K4zKyzah]

yeah but as i said after the second swing, when i go back to the stab my legs slam into the ground, like they are too low, therefore i lose momentum.

[digimaster89]

thats why i said in the toutorial to try to swing towards your face and dont stop swinging your legs after the first colapse no matter what. your arms are just support, but the most important in your mills are your shoulders, hips and your legs, they do all the work. Keep that pattern you did for your first mill continous.

[GuardianzOfDeath]

nice but how am suppose to collapse? last time i did it i ended up in a cast for a week or so lol

[digimaster89]

umm all you do is push off the ground to be honest and go on your shoulder.

[btownkid228]

nice guide man improved a bit off of it and whats the name of the song has a nice tune to it

[Lionwings]

my legs keep bending on their own. i cant seem to keep them straight all the time which is really killing my mills. i just cant get that mentality of keeping those damn legs straight they keep on bending!! what should i do?

[digimaster89]

like i said streatch before you practice them, and when you do practice them slowly. when you close your legs, that means that you are rushing them, take your time into it and youll get it. hope that helps

[neoMushroom]

sexy ass

[digimaster89]

LOL THANKYOUU <333

[chrisher01]

hopefully this will help me, thanks this is very helpfull

[jasmusicart02]

thanks a lot :]

[digimaster89]

lol hope it helped you out

[swtazzpnoy]

ay digimaster does fleixbility help with keep your legs spread out? cuz i got the positioning down but cant seem to keep my legs spread apart

[digimaster89]

Flexibility does make life easier in keeping your legs spread out. but in terms of technicality, you dont need to be flexible to have good windmills. the form and controll will come with practice. if you need to before practicing windmills streatch in a straddle for a bit till your legs are straightened out, that should help a little with form.

[swtazzpnoy]

alright thx ^^
