Ghozty · **Giving bboying a try... -** 07-28-2005, 11:32 AM

YEah ive just started bboying and so fa its going awesome. Ive been tricking for about a year now, and have gotten bored with it, and now have turned to breaking. well with my tricking experience bboyin is pretty gnarly. So far with my 540 kick, and aerial (from tricks). Ive gotten down my 6-step, nike freeze, swipes (leg swipe) is just a few days. Now im moving along quickly. Im gonna be drilling windmills and flares here soon, ive heard theyre pretty hard so best start workin on them now. But yea just joined the forum, and just thought id inroduce myself. later

I'm practicing mills and flares too, actually I dont think there that hard unless your trying to do like 3 in a row. I've been practicing both of them for like 3 weeks, and I can already do a full mill rotation and a flare from a six-step(NOT A MINI FLARE!!!, I DO A FULL ROTATION) and I have some tips:

First: when learning mills and flares it REALLY helps to video tape yourself so you can see what your doing wrong.

Second: The kick for mills and flares is very similar, u kick one leg in a circle than follow with the other leg.

Third: STRETCH!!! Practicing mills and flares I have pulled the muscles in my legs at least 20 times, dont forget to stretch.

One rotation is not a windmill.
The first rotation is actually the easy part, most people could get a "full rotation" with anything but the worst technique.

Same goes for flares in many ways too.

Both mills and flares are likely to take a LOT longer than just a few weeks to get down.

im more of a toprock blowup kinda guy....i had mills, but i dont fox wit them to much anymore...falres i never really got inot cuz my legs make up about 80% or my body weight, haha

STIFF_UK · 07-28-2005, 02:58 PM

Yea, his ass makes up 60% and his head makes up40%.

The remaining 84% of his bodyweight is comprised of his torso and fingers.

Isn't that the whole point?

Trickers are cool! But bboys have SOUL, baby! I'm glad you're using your moves to get down with the funk, bud!

seriously, who can learn mills in 3 weeks, it took me about a year to get continuos rotations, mills are harder than they look, especially if ur just starting bboying, if u dont know how to handglide its gonna be even harder, so i wouldnt jump straight into mills yet...
