You're putting too much focus on your head. Try to go in a circular motion, and remember you're *trying* to kick your face when your second leg comes, so it goes straight through, not up. Then, keep them in a V formation WHILE you're on your upper body, nowhere close to your hips and use the momentum to quickly restab and continue that motion. Ta da, windmills.

what you're doing right now is basically lifting your legs vertically up instead of diagonally and without swinging your right leg, i might add.

study banshee's collapse guide. you're gonna hurt yourself bad if you keep practicing this way.

You're way too high. You want to sweep your legs in front and low yet you want to still stay high on your back. What you're doing is more similar to a coindrop. In a windmill, you're not trying to get from high to low back to high. You want it more like your head is constantly low and your hips are constantly high. Also keep your legs spread totally so you'll start to understand what I mean.
