okay this is what you gotta do. now i cant do nutscrackers in fact i just got mills. but i know how to do them. so ill just give the outline on what i know. basically your going to need a lotta moentum when you get to your back. then when you get your back you want to spring high. higher than when you restab for reg mills. and try to skip the whole front of your mills.

Okay, for crits(I think these are baby mill suicides right?) what you wanna do is start a mill, but pull your legs in like a baby mill, kick your legs out real hard like a baby mill, and twist your upper body. keep your legs extended and there you have it.

For no handers, you wanna have nice forearms mills. What you're gonna do is swing your left(for CCW bboys) leg back really really hard, and then twist your upper body, kinda pushing off from one shoulder to the other.

It's gonna be a weird feeling at first, but after you start practicing it it'll help you out tons.

That's how it's supposed to work I believe. My no-handers are really crappy though.

your mills = too slow for nohanders. you need to have good momentum, your mills arent actually tooo slow, but the time spent on your stabbing is too long, so speed it up first

Your technique looks nice. It's only a matter of speeding up. While doing the windmill try to focus on spreading your legs. When I did that I started to feel the momentum in my legs. While keeping my legs spread I started to do make the swinging motion of my legs bigger and longer than normal. This greatly increased my speed.

While speeding up, start to stab a bit less. Just keep your fingers pointed forwards all the time. As you get better you just use the stab-arm less and less up to the point where you just keep your arms onto your chest and do no-handers.

I'm also at this point just like you. I did two or three no-handers yesterday. I did a windmill from standing position and made as much speed as possible. Then I used my stab-arm hardly for a few rotations and then I just tried the no-handers. I got to like two and a half with my right leg hitting the ground every rotation (going CW). So I just need a tad more speed...

Just practise hard, every training. And when you do no-handers, don't hold back! Go all the way even if it's a bit scary. When you slam your feet into the ground the first time you'll know how it feels and there's nothing more to be afraid of . Use active stretching before the windmill (while standing swing your legs sideways up, both legs) and passive stretching after training (sitting with your legs spread while leaning forward).
