[ptthebest25]

@KARENAKOS let me see  u do some nerd.

[ODTPS]

FOR WHAT STEP 2??

[TheLastFinale]

for step one is it okay to bend your legs at all?

[AZERgirl307]

mann i cant put my legs at the air =[

[blackkjackk13]

thanks you made it pretty simple. I need to learn 3 breakdance moves by January for a big performance thing and this made it easier :)

[PastedChaos]

Wait.... how do I stop?

[RajaJayasinghe]

dont move around when doing flares - also keep ur other leg str8.

[bboymen82]

Great tutorial, congratulations!!! Really interesting the part of the mistakes.

[athaskillz]

great tutorial!! & also u have a very clean looking flare! this helped me a lot! i would mention, however, the hand placement on the ground this was my first mistake when learning! i just watched which way your fingers were pointing when u placed your hand down. i was doing it all wrong resulting in a loss of balance on the transition! great job man!

[AluorSXflam]

Thank you ive never gotten so close to a flare before

[bamboomuddah]

das pretty helpful

[larcenylukas]

[aceman2able]

looks like your on a boat.

[chaotx20]

Great tutorial! Got some good key tips,

Great flares too

[Baldoxxx4000]

let me get this correctly, do you need a flexible leg spread to do a flare or its not necessary??? help! my ass hurts >.<

[jamaicanidentity]

can i do this if i can do a full planche

[aceman2able]

@jamaicanidentity flare is a momentum move, notice you don't stay on one arm the whole time.good luck p.s. you can do a planche

[OneEpisodes]

are you in a prison?

[magiksity]

Physicx goes anticlockwise so fuck yall

[Heshlawfollower]

Those were the most perfect flares I've seen

[littleliondog]

This was really helpful. I'm still not that great at it but it's a huge improvement. Thanks.

[DraculAlucard13]

I'm going clockwise, and whenever I put my left hand down it slams and hurts so damn much... D: Help plz? .__.''

[ragnarok93]

I've got a question.. Do we really need to have strong upper body to do flare??

[popcorn32145]

@ragnarok93 i am wondering this too, how much upper body strength do you need?

[bboyswavo]

this is fkin clear man..... how much time did it take to you to perfect them??

that was damn clear

peace

[arunvvk]

i dont know whether i can do that.. but tnks atleast i learnt how they do that.. :)...

[NMede]

/watch?v=Z7kUmxTx76Y this is a video of my flare, i need tips please!!!

[NMede]

please see my video. i need tips: watch?v=Z7kUmxTx76Y

[FanOfMostSports]

you are filming this on a boat! LoL

[sk8taforlife]

This is good for people that can learn by reading, but would be alot better if you did a voice tutorial.

[qiiNNN2k10]

fuck this is sick .. but lol i dont wanna die cuz of this

[skater3251]

you should make one with you talking

[gregbisell]

this tutorial really helped me point out the flaws in my flares thanks man.

[iiiLithium]

this would be perfect for me if you werent going counterclockwise o.O.

Can you re-upload the video in reverse/mirrored and then edit the caps to were everything is opposite?it would help alot

[geesus]

@iiiLithium that would be pretty complicated, just learn from the video and reverse hands and feet, its simple.

[mrshahkecoh]

@geesus thanks this really helps...i use my right arm for freeze but left arm for flare is that a problem??

[XXTominhoXX]

Best flare tutorial on youtube!!!

I've found my mistake yeah

I only kicked out my right leg and didn't circle it out

[tagger20085]

are you a left or a righty

???

[kelvinrockzjellytotz]

Thanks :)

[vangsta1997]

How do i put my Right hand on the ground softer or lighter ? i always hit the ground hard , then that stops me from continuing .

And , i cant seem to get my height high enough . help ?

[geesus]

@vangsta1997 so place it down softer, the same way u would hit something softer. The answer to the other question i believe is in the video, Trial and error is the best form of correction so keep at it.

[vangsta1997]

@geesus

lol , thanks

I'll try .

[kuraitatsuhai]

@vangsta1997 this is what i experienced keep on doing the step right and soon your hand or wrist will get better and stronger and wont hurt

[vangsta1997]

@kuraitatsuhai

haah thats good to know ! ;)

Thanks !

[TheKimKimLee]

nah..... i just look at the pictures only..

[MrZambo10]

chutia nandan, fcuk u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aang2999]

1:34 dont throw your arm in the arm :D

[TehLawBoy]

thanks for your video very very good tutorial I love how you take every detail to place and how you stop your videos is just great.

[Stebbben]

Thanks Jesus, i mean geesus 

[geesus]

@Stebbben np. Subscribe 4 more

[PtxPhoenix]

thanks man, i really need this xD im still working at the beggining where you kick off, and get off your 2 feet, i just cant get it right

[vryanz1]

i can windmill but i cant flare

[Yellowmedic]

first leg kick up: are you supposed to kick it REALLY hard up?

[geesus]

@Yellowmedic its up to you and your control. its more about controlling your momemtum then kicking super hard.

[BboyFrijoe]

I start my flares with my left leg too high.. I never knew what I looked like until today lol So ima be workin on mine. Great vid :)

[BlackInfiniti247]

are you on a cruise ship?good tutorial im just wondering

[geesus]

@BlackInfiniti247 yea i use to perform for Carnival a while back.

[MrJhuneo1]

yo, this helped me so much but the problem is that my left foot touches the floor and i can't get to the 2nd flare..any tips?

[geesus]

@MrJhuneo1 Fast hands and practice.

[REnFCB4Life]

WOW..breakdown number 4 completely taught me..being on top greatly make sense now bc I'm always "not" on top of my shoulder...now I get. Thanks for the tip. :)

[DennisGR1000]

best flare tutorial ever!!with every kind of details!

[jakejerking]

I dont really understand step 4 about angeling your hips to go onto your right sholuder can you explain it to me please.

[asdfvtn]

Great tutorial, thanks a lot Geesus. you're like my savior.

dont know if you got that joke lol doesnt matter. anyways thanks for the great tutorial, you put 'arm' instead of 'air' at 1:35 btw lol

[dooberance]

I cant do it no matter how hard i try!!! I cant hold myself up or spin my legs around or anything!!

[LtJohnnyWalker]

@dooberance Did you do any strength drills ? Like handstanding ;-)

[dooberance]

@LtJohnnyWalker yea ive been doing handstands for bout two weeks now

[LtJohnnyWalker]

@dooberance Means you're probably a beginner ? If so, don't start with flares, it will be kinda difficult

[dooberance]

@LtJohnnyWalker what do you recommend i start out with? im trying the windmill at the moment, but i dont have very much success :(

[LtJohnnyWalker]

@dooberance 1st of all, build up your upper body strength. Then, I presume you are already familiar with basic moves like the 6-step, toprock, basic freezes and such things. Good thing to start with the windmill, but try to focus on it, don't try out many moves (especially powermoves) at one time. Master windmill first, then move on to flares and then to other moves. Also, handstand is very important, if you can handstand for at least 10 secs, you're pretty much set.

[geesus]

@dooberance i learned flares before windmills, it varies per person. Go at your own pace. Just make sure to "ALWAYS" record

[MordieSG]

@geesus oh thats dope lol

got my flares but my windmills are O . K

[dooberance]

@LtJohnnyWalker thanks so much! ill actually have to take a litle break from mills for now though cuz i hurt my back pretty bad doin them a couple of days ago

[dooberance]

What do you mean? Is there a way i could test if i can support myself?

[geesus]

@dooberance i mean exactly what i said, no test its either a yes or no question. I can't explain, i have friends that are 200+ LBS that are physically stronger than me, but can't support there own 200lb frame. Physical Training and Strength Training are completely different. Maybe master a perfect handstand, when i say perfect (Forever)

[geesus]

@dooberance as in your own body weight. Handstands, Pull-ups, ect

[dooberance]

Great tutorial!! Do u have to be strong to flare?

[geesus]

@dooberance only strong enough to support yourself.

[wtffandrew]

are you supposed to flick the left leg when you do the circular motion with the right leg? im stuck on this part x.x

[narutoship1]

why so epic? man those flares were clean :P.

Anyways, well i tumble RIGHT after i drop to my arms, help plz D:

[BboyDEFJAM]

@narutoship1 Put a vid so i can see what you mean :D

[MrBboyboomer]

I was waiting for a flare demo

[ashieboy1995]

i like these kinds of tutorials better than when they speak. cuz sometimes the audio doesn't help

[Unknownkid567]

i am so trying this again i will get right

[bboyvietstylez]

[DJSwitch18]

@Unknownkid567 You Keep Going Man Haha I Dont Think Your A Pussy Man You Just Gotta Go For It

[13rAdJa13]

By far the best tutorial i've seen on flares, thank you for uploading this, other videos don't clear other important informations.

[HIPHOP3123]

dude where the hell are you?o.o nice flares

[geesus]

@the1burning1truth its mainly because there performed to different types of music, freestyle is your safe way to go.

[geesus]

@the1burning1truth PS never use pop and lockin together, its 2 diff dances, either you pop or you lock

[geesus]

@the1burning1truth Halo's are harder then flares. it requires headmills and windmill headspin combination.

[RagingRaven123]

@geesus are you right or left handed?

[Xcj9]

thanx man wow this is alot of information

[2pimpinout]

Dude, I haven't tried the flare yet, but total respect to you. You make the vid fast, show the mistakes, show the drills, and it looks hecka nice.

[Remucillo]

Thanks 4 the tutorial! I`ll do my best!

[erubielgil]

dam thats was fast i been tryng to do them for a whiled whats a wey you could get more uper strenght for the flairs 

[vovera]

Most effective flare tutorial. This is how I will teach students to do flares.

[erubielgil]

thang man im gonna try my best to flare how long it took you to flare

[geesus]

@erubielgil 3weeks for a perfect 1, about 3 months for 3 flares

[bboycl1]

Everytime i try to do a flare i land on my butt. Can anyone give me tips?

[erubielgil]

i work out evry day doing weight i guess my right hand is weak and i do go straight to flair wenever i put down my right hand i dont suposto slam hard agains the floor i think thas 1 of the problem and wenever i kick up with mi right leg i soposto kick as highes i cant to performe the flair and thank for replyng back

[geesus]

@erubielgil weight training and physical body training are completely different, its more about core strength, and being able to support your own body. Practice simulating the flare from front to back with your feet on the floor continuously so your body can understand the flow of the flare.

[erubielgil]

evrythime i try to flare my right hands just give up on me and then my wrist stars hurting alot thats the onnly reason i can't do a flare any tips

[geesus]

@erubielgil sounds like u don't have the strength to support your body, work on handstands for a week. If you already have perfect handstands then i don't know. I have never experienced wrist pain, but its common with people who don't stretch. So Warm your wrist up before practicing, don't just go straight into it.

[ilikeflatbuns357]

Sir, plz hellpppp

ive been working on flares for like three weeks.

i go CW, as i kick my right foot in the air and my left "kicks" my face. one my left leg isnt even close to my face and. two my right leg just falls to the ground. any help. plz plz (:

[geesus]

@ilikeflatbuns357 maybe 3 more weeks of practice will help you.

[ilikeflatbuns357]

@geesus three weeks. i ment three months.. lmfao.. yeah.. three months.. im dying..

[geesus]

@ilikeflatbuns357 all of your issues sounds like u didn't watch the tutorial. i explain everything there, next step is to Record yourself, because i gaurantee your not DOING what you think your DOING.

[ilikeflatbuns357]

@geesus i did record myself.. flares are hell.. thanks for the help :D

[XCl0neCrew]

i can do 1 Flare now But i cant do more my feet stuck in my back

any tips??

[limsae]

Uh..

I keep crashing straight down on my foot thats suppose to make the circle..

Any help?

[geesus]

@limsae sounds like ur not on top of your shoulders, or your hand timing is off. can't really determine unless a video is present.

[bboyknocknocs]

what do you mean by "staying on top of your shoulders"?

do u mean that i shouldnt let my shoulder get in the position where my neck is touching it?

[geesus]

@bboyknocknocs i give an example in the video, just incase.

[tordack]

Do u mean don't throw your arm in the air? I'm just going to assume u do because that'd be an easy mistake and would make sense.

[geesus]

@tordack don't throw your arm, your flares rely on hips and legs, you throwing your arm is only taking away, you want to place it down.

[tordack]

@geesus Alright, thanx. You make it look a lot easier than it is. Great tutorial.

[BboyNikRo69]

Thank you 4 this vid i saw my fault directly on 0:34 , because i slided the first leg that has to be in the flare UNDER the other leg and not crossed and kicked like you

Thx :)

[spearsmen620]

oh my gosh! thanks so much for the tut! i always mess up my flares by swinging my right hand away! thanks so much!!!!

[hati3kuro]

by far this is one of the most helping tutorial on how to do flare propperly..kudos to you guys!! im givin this a thumb up

[Fusion516]

how tall are you d00d? im 6'1 and its hard as hell for me to do flares!

[geesus]

@Fusion516 5'10 Height doesn't affect technique and practice

[wendarkevil]

my flare alredy 1 year ..

cannot do la ..

T T

[llaces]

great tutorial!

[purpbboyslim]

you should go over ther rear portion thats where alot of people get lost on. that shift in the hips that get your legs high and straight in the back Thats where im stuck at.

[yoyoandbow]

how much time did it take u to learn flares

[geesus]

@yoyoandbow 1 month for 1 perfect one, then about 3-4 months for 3-5 flares about 6 months until i had it consistent, its all up to how much u really want it and your determination.

[tordack]

@geesus Did you practice everyday at them?

[grimmjow19]

duuude thats crazy i never thought of the circular motion of the other leg i just kicked it up. i think i almost got my flare now.

[4ebka1]

good video!!! ★★★★★ +5

[4ebka1]

good video!!! ★★★★★ +5

[tonipette]

OOh , i think i broke my hands, it's surprisingly HARD!!! i think i need a tutor, hehe

[BboyD0mo]

This guy knows his stuff o:

[Jandaoe]

thanks for everything buddy. Im tall like you and I got some great tips. DONT JUMP INTO THE FLARES!... I did that and it messed me up.. Make sure that your legs sweep around into the position like ur doing a reverse coffee grinder.. right? Then kick up hig while staying on ur shoulders. THANKS BUDDY! PROPS!

[BboySkinny]
