2 Months Progress of Windmill. Practicing 3-4 days a week for about 30-40 minutes. Still have some work to do but happy with seeing it finally come together
Keep it going man! That's awesome. I'm a bit more advanced in bboying since I have been doing it for 9 years but I'm here to show my friend that he can learn as well. I think your video will help him out a lot.
@@recordball no problem :) Oh btw do you plan on like becoming a bboy and learning new moves or do you just wanna do it for fun and mby learn a few power moves and then call it quits. Just curious
@@matic117 No plans in becoming a bboy. I’ve just always wanted to learn the windmill and some of the power moves. I can six step and top rock but not much beyond that.. I practice a lot of calisthenics and some self taught gymnastics. I just figured the windmill would be a cool move to learn and to help keep myself limber. I’m 45 years old so I’m not getting any younger. I’m proud to say I’m in better shape than most 20-year-olds these days but that’s because I work at it every day. Just don’t recover as well as I used too:-)
My congrats man, tha practice make master, I use to do that when I was young in 1984 till 1986, I did it without hands I put them on my face, on my chest and sometimes I grab my pants above the knees and spin on my head. It was the best I could do. Now breaakers can flare, that's amazing ¡¡¡
Not that I do windmills all that well, but the "trick" of doing windmills at the early stages is to rotate your upper torso and have your legs follow. This is something you do at the first rotation when your stomach is facing the floor and you use your hands to push the rotation to onto your shoulder. The concept is foreign to how the body wants to use the legs to rotate but you need to turn your upper torso first at every catch. It only looks like he's rotating his legs first after the first rotation but the legs are actually following. It's only at the very beginning you use your legs to get momentum.
Good job, you have it. It will get cleaner and cleaner with practice and stretching ! The most difficult part is done because now you can train with much less pain or even painless I guess :)
you all prolly dont care but does anybody know a way to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Tristan Giovanni Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
That was awesome. Im still struggling with my Windmills. Any tips on how to feel pain in the hip? I feel like i am doing it right but whenever i roll to my back i feel like Im slamming my hip
Yep. I was there too at first. You should never be landing on your hips. You’re not going up high enough on your head and neck. When you spin on to your back focus on only landing on your upper shoulders and keeping your back completely off the ground. The entire motion only works properly when you stay up high on the shoulders.
focus on keeping your left leg high when you’re at the side freeze, when you’re sure that your left leg is high enough then you kick with your right leg
When you roll up onto your shoulders you should be very high on your shoulders almost feeling like you’re doing a headstand, soon as you hit your shoulders you need to pop and thrust your body up in the air to flip over to the second freeze. The key is in the “pop”.
Your training breakdance right? for the love of god don't use this f..king disturbing noice as music. I literally need to mute this video to make it watchable .
You have to stay up really high on the back of your neck through the entire motion. When you hips drop too low when on your back your feet will hit the floor when you go back into the turtle position. The entire motion needs to feel more like yours spinning on your neck and face rather than your back and chest.
@@recordball i think it might be my fear if i fall and land on my face its gonna hurt but im gonna try what your saying and stay high... thank you bro 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@recordball I used a beanie once but i dont think it helped on the hard wood floor but yea learning the windmill leaves you bruised and red on the stomach lol (well for me)
Keep it going man! That's awesome. I'm a bit more advanced in bboying since I have been doing it for 9 years but I'm here to show my friend that he can learn as well. I think your video will help him out a lot.
Yep just got to practice. I’m getting better all the time, still got far to go to get to your level. Thanks for watching and sharing

@@recordball that's awesome to hear man! Keep going

Nice man. I’m 46 now so probably won’t be that advanced but glad I figured out the basics.
Enjoyed the video, thank you.
Great windmills 👍🏼
I’m in quarantine right in the middle of Shanghai and trying to learn the windmill! Inspirational!
Sorry to hear but great time to learn! Keep at it and you’ll get it. Thanks!
@@recordball I appreciate 🙏🏿
I want to learn this since I was 20 now I'm 41 but still in good shape. This makes me wanna practice it again. Good job!
Go for it!! 😁
You got this!!
same here, and ive already been actually practicing it for 3 months. Going very slow at this age but consistency will do it

2 months to get this good is crazy. Nice job man!
Seeing that progression will be very helpful for learning this technique. Good work!
Awesome man good stuff. i breakdanced in the 80s but never could do windmills. But i could crab walk and headspin lol 🤟..
Thanks man! Took we a while. It’s not perfect but hopefully not too bad for being 45 years old!! Ha!
Wow those mills are so good!
cheers my man!!!
Great keep at it I learned a lot from your video
great job, i might copy your idea of using those mats as a practice floor
They’re great! I got a few packs of them from the sporting goods section at Walmart. Really helped reduced injuries when learning.
Awesome man!! Keep going!
You are doing it better than me 😆.keep it going !!
I am turing 42 next month, in good shape though, will be learning this move .. Hope don't end up in ER for breakage .... :)
RESPECT BROTHER

@Tristan Giovanni it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account !
@Muhammad Andrew happy to help :)
Amazing progression. I just started my journey for the windmill. I wonder if i can do 2 months.
Just keep chipping away. It’s rough at first but suddenly it will start to come together if you follow the property movements.
Cant watch you do a windmill without tensing my whole body
MUY BUENO..LO FELICÍTO...👊
That was awesome. Im still struggling with my Windmills. Any tips on how to feel pain in the hip? I feel like i am doing it right but whenever i roll to my back i feel like Im slamming my hip

واو درس جيد شكرا لك مع موسيقى جميلة جدا 😂😎😊😘😘
Can you please make a tutorial!
nice
No wonder I never got my windmills. It takes a ton of practice...
👍👍
I am practiceing this.but my problem is I can't take roll from freeze.but I can do roll to freeze.and I don't know how to catch roll from freeze
When you roll up onto your shoulders you should be very high on your shoulders almost feeling like you’re doing a headstand, soon as you hit your shoulders you need to pop and thrust your body up in the air to flip over to the second freeze. The key is in the “pop”.
@@recordball ok thank you so much sir ♥️
Show
need to stay higher on your back ( shoulders).. original name for windmills was " continuous back spin"
bro let me edit your videos for free
Your training breakdance right? for the love of god don't use this f..king disturbing noice as music. I literally need to mute this video to make it watchable .
Hi thanks for checking out my video. Hope you have a wonderful day.
Does anyone have any tips on how jump.back on your hands (turtle freeze) without your feet touching the floor?
You have to stay up really high on the back of your neck through the entire motion. When you hips drop too low when on your back your feet will hit the floor when you go back into the turtle position. The entire motion needs to feel more like yours spinning on your neck and face rather than your back and chest.
@@recordball i think it might be my fear if i fall and land on my face its gonna hurt but im gonna try what your saying and stay high... thank you bro 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@abevanguwop8229 I basically felt like I got beat up everyday for a few months when learning it. I wore a soft hat to protect my forehead
@@recordball I used a beanie once but i dont think it helped on the hard wood floor but yea learning the windmill leaves you bruised and red on the stomach lol (well for me)
You give me inspiration man
