Yo its 4 am and I'm tryna learn to break dance💀

Day 11 of quarantine: me trying to learn how to windmill lmao

I did this without a shirt, and now, I’ve ascended a higher plane of existence.

"I want to breakdance." *Step one: flexibility.* "Shit."

Learns windmill *enters a room tightly packed with fragile objects*

Im a 40 year old dad of 3. Hold my beer. I got this.

The windmill was one of the first moves I learned back when I was around 14. The hardest part is coming back around. Instead of going into the turtle freeze like he is teaching, think of it as rolling down a hill, keep hands tucked in and legs open. Once you gain speed, you can learn the different windmill variations. Nutcracker and the handcuff were my favorite. These days now windmill is considered a basic powermove and the airfare is the standard.

This guy really helped me to learn front flip,back handspring,and wundmill

Very nice. I'm gonna learn it some day. I'm almost 60 so I still have some time for it. Cheers!

Disclaimer: dont rush it, u might twist ur wrist or arm all together. Im now typing with one hand

As a beginner, I really appreciate this: the most comprehensive, intuitive tutorial I've ever seen. I've tried to learn this several times, then given up. But after this video, I'm actually able to give it one full rotation at a time now, with a good understanding of what my body is supposed to be doing. I have to give my wrist a rest break for a day or two, but for the first time I'm confident that I can do it, with some more practice.

WOW the physics of that motion is fascinating. I had to keep an eye on your left foot throughout the spin just to see, and better understand, how you're actually moving. This one dance-move has always been something I've wanted to learn. Thank you for the awesome tutorial.

Me: That's rad! *i imagine myself breakdancing for 5 minutes* Breaker style unlocked Me 30 seconds later: slams back on the floor and kicks into a corner, damaging my pinkie

Windmills aka the "furniture destroyer"

Bro taught me to windmill, Cork, round of backflip. Backflip, hero, front, side, cheat gainer, gainer, cong and other vaults. Wall jump. Some of these weren't directly taught by him, but by using techniques I learnt from him. What a G.

Everybody: I want to learn breakdance to impress my classmates Me: bro I just want to imagine myself breakdancing in a epic anime fight

Just need to be in "general shape"- does a split as part of stretching

I did this kicked a vase and got my ass beat

“You’ll be windmilling all over town. It’ll be awesome!” 😆 This guy is great.

I have always wanted to learn this. You do a good job breaking it down. I'm 50 so I better get going before any more injuries slow me down. Thanks for making this video and thanks for doing it so we can learn not just trying to be all cool and trying to show everybody how cool you are.

Oh I can do this! Oh I can do that! Oh I can.. Oh i... Oh nooooo These were my thoughts while watching this video progress

me: yeah imma do now mom: foods ready me: tommorow

Thanks bro this video taught me how to windmill no problem. It took me a few months to get good at it, but anyone who’s trying, can learn. u just gotta focus

At 18 I used to windmill instinctively to the breakdance beat. Now at 58, with thirty years off, I gotta think about it step by step with this video. I'm almost there. When young, the body just moves and the mind has to catch up. Older it's in reverse lol.

Yes, all these break dancing tutorials, I just need a place to do it

I’m not even joking thank you soooooo much I’m now ready for school winter formal, when the floor is empty ima bust this move😎

Did this for about an hour, and boy do I need some work 😂 my wrist hurts, my hip aches and my left ribs are very upset but over all I enjoyed this! I think. . . Im going to practice this for a while and let you know how I improve! Thanks!

Thanks for explaining the moves the best simple way you can.

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for posting these videos. I learned this move in like... 1983 I think. I had (well, me - my crew, and all the crews in town) bruises on one hip (the first hip to contact the floor after you begin rotation) for an entire summer as we figured this move out. They were so bad, we were using old school knee pads on our bruised hips while we practiced. But once one guy broke through and figured it out - it was the coolest thing. The sense of accomplishment was never really equaled, even with headspins. It's like the ice breaking move, if you can learn this, then with dedication, there are no limits. Except for flares ;) I never got those down. I'm 50 now... A little out of shape, but after watching this and a couple of your other videos, I think I will put the Flare on my new years resolution list. I still have my basic 80's footwork, and am working on recovering my toprock (thanks to your video, btw) and can still do the windmill too.. though not sure I can bust out no-handers just yet (maybe on a padded floor, haha). So, thanks for the effort and dedication you display. I'm inspired. Peace!

Can we produce electricity using this???🤔

i learned the windmill back in 83' no tutorials were around so it took me 3 months! you guys are lucky to have youtube!

Wow! Enjoyed! Well done! Step by step with out rushing it all helps!! 🌄🏆🌄🏆🌄

I watched this twice. Sat on the ground. Spun on my butt. Then climbed into bed and ate some chips. 😓

Who else just on the couch watching this video doing nothing

As a retired B-Boy from the 80's, now aged 54, I haven't thrown a windmill in 20 years. This was an advanced move back then but by today's standards it's as technical as a forward roll! Good luck kids and if you decide to try this move, I suggest investing in a set of knee pads!

Best teaching video of the windmill ever!

"Prerequisites, be in general shape." Me: well shit😕

Me: realize that I don't have a smooth floor

Iv learned the final key motion to it thank you much appreciated 🙏

This was amazing , I love the way you taught this

I just discovered a new talent..

I learned windmills when I was 15..no Internet back then, had to watch VHS tapes...took me 1 year to figure it out myself...after that I was windmill king, nutcrackers, no handers, barrel mills even baby mills

this video is the first thing in years that has actually gotten me excited to try

Thank you so much! Ive been training for like an hour and i almost did the windmill spin once

This is a step on my way to learning the breaker style from Yakuza 0

who else learned this to impress classmates

I can’t stress how helpful the hip-pop up tip was, thank you.

Amigo, você é muito bom em ensinar! Sou dos velhos tempos (80s) e gostei muito de ver seu vídeo. Parabéns! Abraços do Brasil.

This is the best tutorial ever for windmill!!!

*watches eating 20 nuggets* “I can do this”

I love your tutorial ❤️❤️ I can do 1 round now ❤️

I used to break...this for some reason came naturally to me...i was the only one in our troupe that could do it...all yer steps came naturally...you explain it exactly as i did it...nice tutorial!!!

Him:Getting everyone’s attention. Me:Getting laughed at

Let's be honest most of us are in bed and can't even split

For anyone out there who have been working on this and it's not working, as an old man now, who used to do windmills, I do disagree with prerequisities portion of the video. Just because you can backspin may not really mean you have what it takes to do mills. I can still back spin well even as an old man, but my mills are long gone. I did not get mills fast, and so I remember practicing this for a long time not understanding why I couldn't get mills down and I learned during that time you really should have strong hip flexibility to really allow your legs to open when you mill. Without flexible hips that allow your hips/legs to really open, your legs will never really gain that momentum to allow you to fly even if you get the technique down. When I finally got my mills way back when, the way I would describe it is it was like flying, once I did the initial technique to get the mill started, my legs and the momentum just did the work for me. If you look at OP he's got excellent flexibility in his hips, (doesn't have to be like acrobat level) that allows his legs to lock and carry him once he's gotten going. It was a completely different experience then when I was just bruising up all my shoulders and legs trying to get it to work. W/o the hip flexibility to open up and allow your legs to take you, you'll always feel like you're doing the starting technique over and over again, so it's boring as all heck, but I would work on splits, and a bunch of hip opening/flexibility exercises in order for you to take advantage of all the technique that's here. Take it from a formerly unathletic young dude who's now an old and unathletic old dude.

Best explaination on the windmill I have seen so far

Now I know why his windmills are so clear, he just GOTTA FOCUS!

Before reaching 47 I will finally learn the Windmill! Awesome tutorial and you're a great motivator!

You’re so talented bro you can do things that most people can’t do I’m sure that even if I wasn’t disabled I could never do what you do bro keep up the good work!!!!:-)👊🏿🤜🏿👊🏿👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks... It really helped me... This is not the first time I'm watching it.. But repeating it gave me a brighter understanding.. Thanks Pigme

This tutorial is great! I need to learn how to break dance for my Goro Majima cosplay so I can go to conventions and just break dance in the middle of everything with One Eyed Dancer playing from a speaker. With your instructions I now have faith that I can actually accomplish this. Thank you.

About 9 years ago he made his first b boy tutorial

This helped me so much!

I’m really achieving this! i just started last week and now I’m close to getting it!

Ended up looking like I was having a seizure

You taught this move so thoroughly well. Thank you 😊

Best tutorial I’ve found so far

I love watching the pros like yourself doing the windmill, that's enough for me 👌

I’ve been learning windmills lately and rewatching your 5 min tutorial over and over again but thank you for this!! This is a really good early birthday gift :)

I love this new (“no nonsense”) style of tutorial Lucas ...not that your other tuts are any less for the additional entertainment style - but I really think this is a very good explanation of the move.

It has been a life long dream to do this. You made it happen. TY

There is no other video like this this guy is the most helpful I'm subscribing

IMO this is the best Windmill I have viewed. I was able to do the windmill back in the early 80's after pain, tears and lots of bruises. I am going to learn to Windmill again, and this lesson will make it a lot easier, as I am a lot older. Brilliant work Pigme. Hip Hop all the way.

I can do the Windmill already but I'm still gonna watch it because of your relaxing way of speaking

this guy teaches all the cool moves - Thanks!

MY FAVOURITE breakdance is the Windmills. I just love watching them.

Compared to your earlier windmill tutorials and the dozens out there, this one truly is The best tutorial for windmills. Bigups!

Thank you so much, man! It's the best tutorial I've ever seen. It starts slowly and easily and get complete at the end. First I thought that your look were weird but they give some physiological support for starters. Thank you so much for your help! You look like Colin Farrell.

Gonna be in my bucket list...

mega, great video, imma start learning too. i am be back when i got it done. thanks for the inspiration. keep up the good work!!

I just came here to learn because my dad doesn't get out of work till 6 pm so I'm pretty much alone at my house *breaks vase*

Thanks for this waayyy more informative tutorial than the older one. This helped me to make mine way easier than before. Thank youu✌🏼

you are a great teacher

Thanks bro I am in lots of lmprove by using you style waiting for next video

Great vid as always! Awesome to see how much better your tutorials are now!!!

I'm struggling to "smoothly" drop from the turtle freeze position. I keep hitting my shoulder. Help.

Brilliant!!! Gonna try soon

U r a great teacher.

Man this is the best tutorial I've seen on the windmills. Thanks a lot I subscribed

Practicing on a hard surface gives me extra damage resistance

Alright then! Gonna try those steps and practice until I get it down right!! Thanks for the guide Dude!

That hip pop! That’s what I’ve been missing!!!

Believe it or not I learned how to flare from him

I know this video has been out for a while and I’ve been watching your channel for a long time I’ve been practicing this daily I’m getting so close this has helped me so much thank you so much

Thx, finally got it after 2 months!

Thanks, Bro After 2 years I learned how to do a windmill first with and then without hands because of some of your tips

Others: Trying to dance Me: Wanna try firebending like Zuko

Awesome voiceover man, so soothing to listen to. Inspiration for my tutorials!

Great teaching well said n explain

I went into this with full confidence, ready to rule the world and knock this out of the ballpark! Ready to show off my dance skills and my sweet moves to those who doubted me! Knowing nothing could possibly get in my way and i couldn't be defeated or made a fool of! Then i went for it- down on the ground ready for victory- and my noodle arms gave out immediately... I didn't win this battle, but ill prepare and win the war!
