Ya I just updated my new windmill log, I can push off with my non stabbing hand now continuously, so my windmills are speeding up and everything seems to be going good. I just need to stay on my shoulders, I don't always get so high for some reason? Thanks for the help

K Street. and everoyne. i just added a big ass chunk of text to the guide. proof read and constructively critizize it.

thx

[str33twalker]

the text was good, even though I don't think turning your wrist forward should be needed because some people like to rotate around their wrist then collapse. Which helps beginners who have problem getting to their shoulders

Thanks for the guide man it's got me like 10 steps closer to mills already
Any tips on keeping your legs straight ?

Thanks again

Well str33t I agree, Personally I do the hanglide rotation too, which is why in my video I actually start with my fingers pointing back or off to the side i tell people not to turn their hand. Thething is, really think about it. When you just started this move, could you actually hold a hanglide let alone balance on one hand and spin? And then cleanly remember all your steps and go into the collapse? I just feel that teaching them to hanglide around first can get confusing, i know other guides actually teach that first, however I think it's too much for a newbie to learn who is just learning the starting freeze as well. I know when i first learned a baby freeze i was just all fked up and my wrist was all sore as hell and shet.

Yep. That's basically what it always is. Now are your legs having trouble staying straight or staying straddled?

My advice is to do awindmill, albeit in slow motion. Focus on your legs been straight and locked in a straddle the whole time. This might feel like a waste of time, but trust me, it helps.

I'm glad to hear, I like helping people. This move took me an embarassing LONG time to learn (I'm self taught, which is why I use really odd examples... E.G the clock and the horse)

I enjoy shortening the learning process for other bboys

One of the best windmill guides I've ever seen. I already have continuous but if I had seen this guide back when I first started you would have saved me months. Still helped me clean up my windmills more and understand what I'm actually doing.

The only thing I see missing.

You must keep your head on the floor! People say it isn't necessary, you know what? they are wrong. It is completely necessary because all other windmills use the head. If they don't build this habit of keeping their heads on the ground then they will have trouble with advanced mills. Besides the mills will look a lot cleaner if the head wasn't on the ground.

I understand having your head on your ground allows you to hit your upper back with greater ease, however I think that putting it into my stabbed ccw mill guide would be...hypocritical seeing as in my videos I don't have my head on the ground

However I will put in in the section for advanced techniques, along with the rotation in hanglide and other such things that new windmillers shouldn't worry about until they can squeak out some stabbed windmills.

How can you say its necessary when I've seen many bboys do good windmills without their heads on the floor. Which means its not necessary, its just a preference.

Wow!
This needs to be stickied, along with that other guy's guide which stresses torque.
The old windmill tutorial stickies need to be removed.

I'm still reading the tutorial. I got a good first rotation, but have trouble getting into second rotation nicely.
Good job on the tutorial!
