Wind turbine? (giant white tall structure with blades and makes electric) or windmill? (larger fatter structure with larger blades which mills flour to make bread)

If you mean wind turbine they can be jumped in almost any wind direction because they move around to face into wind. Sometimes the petals will move with little or no wind as they have batteries which help turn the petals to get going when the wind is low. Lifts are easy to use. Be carefull of moving parts whilst at the top. Could easily snag a coat etc and drag you in. Generally in windy areas : ) and isolated. The petals make quite a noise. Nice grip surface at top and sometimes a handrail. Some are easy to access others are impossible depending make and model.

If you mean windmill, I havnt got a clue.

I believe what you call wind turbine we in the USA call windmill.

I think we'd call what you call windmill simply a 'mill'.

Re: [jumper1420] windmills
It is the same technique than you use in the jumping windmill, but while you jump do not leave of the ground , put your head in the floor and do a little spin with the legs collected. first, practice the windmill starting of a headstand and next try to do a windmill and end over your head(*******headstand again******).Wink
