how can ya get speed in barrels to look like Storm? (if anyone seen one of his mill clips where he's like a PROPELLER)... it looks like he's doin 100 rotations while completing one full circle

i believe you are talking about this clip right

Ice_raven · 09-29-2003, 03:01 PM

yeah

this is unfuckinbeliavble
and kicking hard isn't the answer how to get that speed to my mind
is it me or his head is touching the ground even when he's on his back?

yes his head is touching the ground when hes on his back

and im pretty sure its the arms that gets you speed in barrel mills

i have some horrible news for you guys...the video is sped up

Ice_raven · 09-30-2003, 02:40 AM

it's not sped up (i have the original storm video and it's obviously in normal speed there) but even if it is a dude from where i practice does them at that speed too

he told me to kick harder but it's obviously not the only thing

well barrel mills are fast but not THAT fast...you can tell by in the beginning when he kicks into the mills...

BBoyAlpha what about his headspin at the end that looks pretty normal speed and not sped up (but it kinda looks like they put it back on normal speed a the 3rd to last rotation) but that could be because he wanted to slow down so i'm not sure FAST ASS windmills if those are his speed

That's actualy Storm's real speed. It's possible and it's all about rotating on your head. My friend's friend from Korea has the fastest and most perfect windmill I've ever seen and can do practialyl every variation with straight legs and never loses speed, in fact he goes faster when he's doing nutcrackers. He told us that when you mill, alwyas put your head on the ground no matter what. Even if it feels weird just do it. I don't know how he explained it but the point is to just put your head on the ground and you'll go faster.

yeah, i noticed his head is ALWAYS on the ground
it feels VERY weird to put that head on the ground all the time... gotta practice.

he puts his head in the ground cos hes doing barrel mills and that arm position requires height and thats what the head in the ground does give ...i never knew it gave ya momentum tho...but try to stand up and cross oyur arms like genies and then turn your body very hard to either the left or right...and try doing the same but the arms gotta be the barrel position and try to use your arms too....now in wich 1 did you feel the momentum the most?
