Headspring...i say flexibility Mastering a move is a lot harder than being able to do a move. If you keep practicing you'll get it. Visit www.bboy.org to join the online bboying community there are lots of questions answered there. Im assuming your a girl from your avatar. Hardest move for you will probably be airflares I have yet to see a bgirl pull 2-3 off. You might someday prove me wrong though... Elbowtracks you'll probably be able to get :) Btw i love bgirls! Good luck. Kay sorry, this won't answer your question but I have a question for you. Being a girl, do you find it difficult to do the freezes? I can barely hold myself up.. you must be strong =T. Been bgirlin' for a month? You gettin' pretty good :]. Seeing as I don't know how much you practice and your fitness level, it's pretty hard to say how much it will take you to get certain moves but I can give you some kind of idea. Windmills - LOTS OF PRACTICE FOR THIS. You'll have to watch lots of tutorial vids and try em out over and over again. It'll be frustrating and hard to get. At least a half a year or so if you try hard to get around one rotation. Remember, quality is better than quantity so make sure you get one perfect rotation before moving on. Flare - Same thing as the windmills just a lot longer. Flares are pretty hard and require your dedication to keep practicing. Cricket - These will require some mad forearm skills and the ability to control your body overall. First, you'll have to understand the technique of 'pumping' and keep practicing. I would have to say over a year :\. Headspin - Keep practicing these. That's the only way to do it. There's no trick or shortcut to do it but to keep practicing. Over a year probably. Headspring - argg I've been working on these for a while and I still can't get it ._. First you have to be able to do a front hand spring. Then build your neck and shoulder muscles. Keep trying it out in a safe way ( I do it from a squatting position). Probably +1 years. Keep it up! good luck |
