Helicopter Guide (Clockwise)
"Helicopter" (also known as "Coffee Grinder", "Ball & Chain" and "Clock") Reverse all RIGHT to LEFT and Vice-versa for CCW (counter-clockwise).
This is the helicopter guide I promised.
I'll include a written guide, a bitmap image of the starting position and a video (which is not mine since I don’t have a camera).
This move is easy, it shouldn’t take long and the only difficult thing to explain is the starting position.
1. Starting Position: Sitting on the floor, only toes touching the ground. Knees fully bent and ass not touching the ground.
Stick out LEFT leg so that its straight and pointed North-West from you. Put LEFT hand directly in front of you, on the floor, between your legs.
Put RIGHT hand on the floor on the RIGHT side of your RIGHT leg. You’re now in the starting position.
2. Begin moving your LEFT leg in a clockwise circle around u, when it reaches your LEFT hand, pick your hand up and place it on the other side of your LEFT leg as your leg slides by.
3. Now your LEFT leg should reach your RIGHT hand. Again, pick your RIGHT hand up slide your LEFT leg under and put your hand back down.
4. Your LEFT leg should now be on the RIGHT side of u. Keep moving your LEFT leg. When it comes to your RIGHT leg, hop with the RIGHT leg and quickly slide your LEFT leg under.
5. Continue Sliding your LEFT leg around u. It should now be almost behind u- While it is behindyouit should be bent at 90-140 degrees.
6. Move your LEFT leg aroundyouuntil its in the starting position once more.
Now those were the steps, here are the tips:
1. Your leg should be straight while its in front ofyouand bent while its in back of you.
2. In an Ideal Helicopter, your moving leg NEVER touches the ground.
3. This is a footwork move, you can use it in your 6-step, and it will be easier to understand the 4 and 3 steps knowing the helicopter.
4. I don’t advise having more than 2 or 3 helicopters in-a-row in your combo's.
5. Progress to 1-handed and no-handed helicopters.
6. You can try a backwards helicopter (no not CCW, I MEAN BACKWARDS) its a little more difficult but think of the combos you could make…
7. Good Luck (Not that you’ll need any as this move is pretty easy).

9. IT’S EASIEST TO LEARN THE MOVE IN SOCKS ON A MARBLE, LINO OR POLISHED WOODEN FLOOR.
10. Practice people practice!
