Hey alleyn

nice room :P.

Anyway, Keep your legs straight and don't lean on your back so much.

Try to roll on your back and swing your legs.

Hard to explain but you'll get it xD.

piyochan · 11-02-2009, 09:54 PM

Sorry :P didn't notice your not collapsing xD

Anyway here's a video to help

It helped me and it'll teach you how to collapse and everything.

Good luck!

honestly I dont like to say this but you just need to practice, with practice will come better form, with better form will come speed

its not bad it's just really difficult to start windmills the way you do.

i dont think its a totally bad thing, but i find starting with your head touching the floor made it like 20 times harder to learn when i started. also before you start, rotate along your stabbed arm and then kick off. don't start in handglide and then just kick. you'll get less power starting from a still position and more while you're rotating along your arm. as soon as your fingers begin to point forwards kick your right leg high into the air and collapse. also at this moment your left leg will be following your right leg because of the force from the kick off. make sure your left leg sweeps close to the floor (this will happen if your legs are open wide). don't forget to keep your legs high in the air. doing so will keep you higher on your back and make the windmill 100 times smoother. but you see the important thing is to start off high on your shoulders and stay on it the whole time. kicking and collapsing onto a bad position (i.e your lower back) will make windmills really hard because rotation along that area of your body is too difficult. post another video up in about a week of training.

Yeah no worries, I was born left handed, my left arm is stronger but i use my right hand and right arm.

Use what is comfortable for you. Oh and don't forget, if your going CW or CCW for your windmill, everything has to follow that order.

alleyn · 11-03-2009, 09:37 PM

so was i going the right way nd etc in that video
and i need help on collasping
how can i add i to wat i already have?

Kolokoi · 11-03-2009, 09:51 PM

go back to practicing collapsing, then when your feeling the right time, go back to the leg swinging. thats what i did when i am getting hurt from mills

BboyZilo · 11-03-2009, 10:10 PM

try practicing them on a soft surface wrestling mats work great but keep legs straight and wide body comes first then legs swing its a way of motion which once you get it becomes very easy

alleyn · 11-03-2009, 10:12 PM

maybe i should just rewatch a video instead of asking questions tat could be answered within 2 mins of a vid XD
