ppl told me someting about my left leg sweepin near floor but like i try to but ii cant do it
tips plz?!!?

yeah it is your left leg... okay first, try starting a little bit slower so you can just get it clean
second your left leg needs to bend, but when you get on your back
extend your left leg and make it straight so you get more spin, its also getting
closer to your right leg so your legs arent split far enough so it doesnt look clean
so try to keep your legs SPREAD apart as much as you can through the whole thing
also you need to land on your SHOULDER not your back
try practicing windmills with this in mind and post up another video after

dannsuuh · 10-04-2009, 10:47 PM

o i thought i needed momentum, alright ill try that out
i thought legs have to be bend liek whole time haha. whatever il ltry whatever u say. i wanna get windmilsl down already
k. farther apart. gotcha.
alright. i htought it was upper back. k shoulders it is
alright im gonna session in like 20 minutes downstairs ill try to upload

Bboy-Prof.K · 10-04-2009, 10:49 PM

well yeah of course you need momentum but you need the circular momentum
think of your left leg kicking and extending out, like your momentum
its supposed to spin you so that you are rotating correctly
upper back/shoulder is basically the same thing, as long as its high up on your back

dannsuuh · 10-04-2009, 10:50 PM

alright ill try to do everything u say
and hopefully itll turn out cleaner

Bboy-Prof.K · 10-04-2009, 11:21 PM

yeah i can almost guarantee that itll be cleaner
just keep practicing... it took me 6 months to get windmills

MaDD · 10-05-2009, 12:11 AM

You're not even swinging the kicking leg... WHY? because it's bent so you're not creating any momentum with it... if you were GOOD at mills then you could make momentum that way but when you aren't you can't.

Keep the V form keep the kicking leg straight always.

Peace

dannsuuh · 10-05-2009, 01:04 AM

it keeps bending
alright ill start to do windmilsl slowly than. i thought u were suppose to practice like that.

yea i try but ill keep trying

Grotesque · 10-05-2009, 04:55 AM

you got the motion down, all you have to do is to spread those legs constantly

dannsuuh · 10-05-2009, 01:46 PM

dannsuuh · 10-05-2009, 07:41 PM
