How To: Flare like Bboy The End

[bboymiau]

this is nothing like bboy the end watch?v=zj3fnB9G4vw

[iCantFlow]

Are you flexible, and do you have to be flexible? When I flare my legs are bent and I really try to keep it straightened and locked but is always bent. And I mess up at the end, when I'm coming around. I guess I sort of curl my legs in coming around? Reason for why I'm low rather high, but idk how to prevent it. help?

[peacebewu]

@PxQxP what do you call that move @ 2:35 - 2:37 ??

[PxQxP]

@peacebewu zulu spins, but bboy cloud does a nice variation to it where he stands up like that



[CrabY42]

@PxQxP I think those spins that Cloud does are called "king spins".

[smither1mina]

@peacebewu Its sorta a zulu spin. The one cloud does some people call it a kingspin and you can find tutorials on youtube but i dont like the kingspin tutorials. You know cause of bad audio and such

[pwningtoenail]

is a chair flare easier?

[PxQxP]

@pwningtoenail no chair flare is an advanced modification to the regular flare. the stabbing requires more complex understanding of the basic flare to execute.

[hindy51]

extremely beautiful flare,as good as the end=o=

[PxQxP]

@hindy51 haha thank you. i am definitely no where as good as the end in flares.

[PaulieThePanda]

LOL at the fall at 2:11

[chaotx20]

hey mind looking at my flares?

[rikimaru342]

awesome tutorial man

i have to ask where's that gym you practice in is

a tricking gym or traditional gym

[underworlddeptrai159]

when i go back and going to front my leg get together and dont make a V position

[xClsays]

How come when i'mat the V part i always fall down on my butt plz comment thx ;)

[undergrounddeadmen]

@xClsays maybe you're not kicking your right leg up at the front.(clockwise.)

[underworlddeptrai159]

i do my flare 1 round and half i always fail to go 2 round do you know why ?? please reply

[undergrounddeadmen]

@underworlddeptrai159 i say practice more. and just feel confident that you can do two flares. also when you're on the back and going the the front, swing your right leg forward and left leg up. (clockwise)

[vagosolympiakos]

how much time you need for this powermove???

[PxQxP]

@vagosolympiakos depends how accurately youre practicing. just practice and find out :]

[TheBboymotionz]

Props man real good vid I saw this video a year ago and it helped me get a flare tho yet I been wanting to get that high in the back do you recommend anything?

[PxQxP]

@TheBboymotionz when you practice them, as youre about to finish each round, lift your left leg as high as possible and when you complete the flare it should still be there. you should get high in the back that way.

[PxQxP]

@TheBboymotionz its like a straddle 

[BBoysekushiboy]

ID KIll to get those hieght at the back! Too bad I cant flare anymore :( but yeha props. respekt

[xClsays]

WTF IS THIS THIS IS A FLARING VIDEO NOT MATH >:O

!

[IBomerang]

@xClsays Go watch another video -.-

[gerrardfan27]

what kind of stretches you do for flares? i need help cos im not that flexible.. :p appreciate it. Thanks(:

[PxQxP]

uploading standing backflip tutorial next week!

[itsRyann]

omg you changed the title haha

[MrPooface11]

LMAO! gymnastic fail at 2:28 xD

[MrBboyFade]

Lol -Pull up pants- (optional)

[MSS7COMMANDOZ]

euh one question , do we need abdomens to do flares ?

[PxQxP]

@MSS7COMMANDOZ well, any core strength would be great and very helpful. if you dont have much core strength practicing flares themselves would help you develop the stability you need.



[MSS7COMMANDOZ]

it looks like maths exam good tuto nicely done !!!!!

[IMaxForceLE]

pull pants up opinitnal LOL sounded funy to me

[TheBboySalvation]

when i do flares, im counter clockwise, when i get my right hand down i hit the floor too hard makes me lose balance. can you help?

[bboybacnis]

first step: pull up pants LOL

[lolboy94]

To do flare ,do you need to have strength to hold your body ?

[PxQxP]

@lolboy94 flares require more technique and momentum than strength. strength will help significantly. however, a weak skinny person can do better flares with lots of practice versus a strong buff person who lacks practice. strength will become more necessary when going for endurance/many repititions with the flare.

[lolboy94]

@PxQxP ok, for me i goes clockwise for my flare and the problem is i'm having difficulty kicking up my left leg(right leg for counter clockwise). is there anything i can do to overcome this problem?

[PxQxP]

@lolboy94 your legs should be decently spread out, at least 90 degrees. it is critical to push off your left leg right after the sweep, before you kick it up. try to keep it straight while bringing the left knee towards your face. and keep practicing and stretching.

[23RAIDa]

@PxQxP wat about fat people

[PxQxP]

@23RAIDa flares may be possible, the fitter you are, the more convenient flares will be. dont let weight stop you. be determined. flares are also good for cardio. good luck!

[23RAIDa]

@PxQxP sweet thanks man

[honey07ish]

@PxQxP best tutorial i've ever watched on youtube and best uploader comments also you are very good teacher and great person also, iam from india and i am gonna start parctising flares now, thankss man keep it up and upload more tutorial of powermoves..

[PxQxP]

@honey07ish thank you, sir

[esQo0020]

awesome tutorial



[Btrapsody945]

Epic music! :D

[MGOCount]

Look at the person at the back at 0:15 LMAO

[BbOYWeetTart]

Beast tut this cleared up my problems

[vangsta1997]

another question; how do i know if i go counter clockwise or clockwise ??

[PxQxP]

@vangsta1997 usually, if youre right handed youre ccw, if youre left handed your cw. just practice it the same direction you do everything else in

[808NoHomo]

@PxQxP if you put your right hand down first you go clockwise if you put your left hand down first you go counter clockwise

[PxQxP]

@808NoHomo yes

[fushishinobi]

@PxQxP XD then im doing the hard way XD. im righty but i go cw mainly cuz of millz but hey it a w.e thing haha. sick tutorial

[PxQxP]

@fushishinobi thanks. haha thats fine, as long as you can combo the same direction

[max269]

LOL did anyone notice the person failing in the background at 2:30? XD

[vangsta1997]

How do we put our right hand down on the ground softly ?

i got high enough, i just cant land my right hand right.. help please ?

[PxQxP]

@vangsta1997 have all your weight on your left hand and place your right hand down. i use to hit the floor kind of hard when i place my right hand down too. just keep practicing it. remember the flare should not be rushed, every step must be done after another if that makes sense

[vangsta1997]

@PxQxP alright, i'll post up a video on how i do next time.. try and help ? lol

[PxQxP]

@vangsta1997 ok sure. tell me when its posted

[vangsta1997]

@PxQxP alright

[vangsta1997]

@PxQxP

Got it

[K4zKyzah]

Very good and comprehensive tutorial, its clear that you have used up alot of time and talent to create this tutorial for us;

but for someone who has been TRYING to flare for like a year you forgot to mention one thing that alot of people cant flare without it:

you said bring your buttom up, but it wont just go up on its own, the key is to push off the ground with your right arm when you are entering the rear part of the flare (CCW)

[PxQxP]

@K4zKyzah haha thanks. yes thats correct. thanks.

[BboyXposure]

thanks for the tutorial bro! but i need help whenever you land on your

right hand. my legs just seem to fall, think you can help?

[PxQxP]

@BboyXposure np. keep them wide and high. the wider they are, the lighter and easier it is to balance. and just keep practicing. do you have a video of you doing it?

[BboyXposure]

@PxQxP naw but i can get one &i'll show you, i tried doing it counter clockwise but now i'm doing it clockwise. i'll show you how it looks aight &i'll tell you when its up

[bboyzuel]

what soft ware did use?

media maker?

[PxQxP]

@bboyzuel lol yes. windows movie maker and paint. the two most basic programs you can use. LOL

[BrokenLove1432]

Can I post a video response and you correct it for me? D:..

I'm having trouble getting the first round the most, but i'm doing the same thing over and over.. I'm not sure how to fix it. Do you mind?

[PxQxP]

@BrokenLove1432 yeah sure. that's the best way to get help. =]

[BrokenLove1432]

@PxQxP Alright :D. Thanks! I'll get the video by the end of this week.. High school is owning me so hard lol

[lagneshthakur1995]

Awesome tutorial man Flares are now clear to me but the thing is i cant do even a single round but after this tutorial i am sure i'll get them in a month or two Thanks Man !!!!!!!!!

[rootMySql]

nice :]

btw. can you talk me what i can do wrong? img26.i m a g e s h a c k.u s /img26/9391/66029272.mp4

[SuperMagicPro]

Hey! i can only do 3/4 of flare. have you watch my video? can introduce me what move to learn?XD

[SuperMagicPro]

Nice tutorial! but can you help me?XD

[PurePhinaticPopper]

It's day 6 for me and I've been practising 1-2 hours a day and I've completed 1 full round only ONCE... it felt so good that I achieved something for such a small skinny guy like me, and in such a short time, but it all comes down to practise... I cant even windmill yet hahah... I'll give everyone a tip on their first round... on the second kick, kick you left leg DAMN HARD to your face cause thats the only way your right legs gonna sweep under without hitting the ground. Thanks heeps PxQxP!!!!

[AeriaIistic]

@PurePhinaticPopper yeah, I didn't find that out until like 9 months into flare training. DAAAAAAAMMMIIITTTT I wasted my time

[PxQxP]

@vixinvi sorry late response. i think it's common that right handers go ccw and left handers go cw. it doesnt matter as as long as the breaker is doing most things in the same direction, so they can combo

[alterwatak]

w0w! . . soo000oo co0l ! . . im also a counterclockwise :) , could you please help me with my flare? . im trying to go to my second but i can keep my waist up high in the back . . , any tips ? . . or you can see my video :) tnx.

[bylcreem5]

do we hav to swing it hard?

[PxQxP]

@bylcreem5 yes, a strong swing is very important, it gives you most of the momentum you need to continue the flare, the rest of the momentum is from your legs as youre continuing it. dont rush the swing so hard that it will mess you up. swing strong as you do the other steps correctly (pay attention to your nonswinging leg as well) =]

[PxQxP]

@koreankick93 it takes the longest to learn the first round then the few following rounds. after about 4, you understand the motion and try to keep going. it took me a while, about 1-2 years, but it depends how much and how accurately youre practicing for it. so it can take just months to get them down.

[daktmstarcrew]

ItS dA NiCeSt TuToRiAl I ve EvEr SeEn!! kep it up! :D

[PxQxP]

@daktmstarcrew haha thank you

[RoflAzn]

[PxQxP]

@vangsta1997 haha thanks. keep practicing =]

[kevadrenaline]

Wow this is so precise and detailed. Thanks so much. It helped a lot.

[PxQxP]

@kevadrenaline thanks. no problem.

[mikcand]

how do i shift my weight to my shoulders? i kno it might be a stupid question but im a noob at that stuff lol

[PxQxP]

@mikcand put all your weight on your arms. try leaning back a bit. as long as your legs arent too heavy and hit the floor

[PDboy267]

how long did it take you to learn a flare?

[PxQxP]

@PDboy267 sorry for late response. it took a while, like a few months, since i didnt have any instruction and kept on trying it, when i did get it my form was off, so i just working on it and the form improves =]

[Theftgrand50]

i got the first kick down but im having problems with the second one, have any tips?

[AznLove842]

LOLZ IF YOU LOOK I THE BACK GROUND AT 2:30 THE GIRL ON THE BAR FALLS XD

[ShurikeBoy]

do you only kick with your legs to continue the flares, or do you also use youre waist?

[nacnate]

@vixinvi i'm rich handed and i'm ccw

[aznAC925]

can you give me any tips because im ccw too and whenever i put my right hand down and my left leg to a v shape i just fall and i stretch and everything ive watched like 50 other flare tutorials and still i have the same problem and im getting kinda frustrated so please can you tell me anything that would help?

[oskiex]

Lol...that was dope...thanks dude....your videos shows you gone from ok to awsome...

[EDYFOR0717]

[Sorry4nothing10]

aW...if i only got your moves...im the happiest guy in town..xD

[DFrizzleNizzle]

btw @vixinvi most people that are right handed usually use CCW, im right handed and i use CCW.

[DFrizzleNizzle]

wow. Great Tutorial, you actually cleared every step for a flare

thanks.

[TheNikkoE]

im having a hard time trying to do 2 flares. Can anyone checkout my video in my profile & give me advice please!

[PxQxP]

haha no. i think a lot of people learn it that way. for me at least. it doesnt matter so much though. as long as all your things go the same way, it would be easier to combo.

[vixinvi]

yoo im right handed but i go clock wise.. I dont get it though is it optional? just check my videos and you'll see

[PxQxP]

yeah. it actually isnt.

[TuanVu412]

Damn, Peter... u got those flares down. Keep it up!

[kfboi03]

LOL well somebody got better at their flares. I havent watched a vid of you in a while.

[PxQxP]

haha, thanks. how are you, man?

[kfboi03]

I'm good. I've gotten much better since I've posted those old videos. For the past few months I've also been entering a lot of jams with my friends or by myself. lol I was at two just last weekend and got to semis on the first one.

How about you?

[PxQxP]

oh. nice! well, im in cheer now so i practice tumbling more than i bboy. i just bboy for fun dont havent tried getting new stuff. my airflare still isnt there yet. lol.

[fangstryke]

[muhminatali1]

[muhminatali1]

when i tried this, blood gushed outta my vaginal.

[Kenjige3]

Should i worry about trying to make one flare completely clean as hell or try to do a lot?

[Tidus0107]

practice on getting at least one flare down than slowly try for 2 and 3

[tyzy369]

Best tutorial! :)

[9tfp]

[oop0118]

does it matter which way u go for a flare ?? like if ur right handed do u go clockwise instead??

[PxQxP]

if youre right handed you should go counter clockwise, as long as your powermoves all go the right way though

[Vupuuh]

Best how to I've ever seen.

So much details.. THANKS *-*

[FloatingOnWind]

wow

you've really improved your flares

im impressed

[fangstryke]

i cant seem to lift my waist high in the back

[swingaporean]

[swingaporean]

lol at 2:16 when that girl falls off the bar :P

[williamxng1111]

hahahahaha

it is funny

XD

[silvousplay]

which way should your flares go if you're right handed? clock-wise or counter-clockwise?

[dewy13newgen]

You don't really need much muscle for flare.

If you can do 20 push up, your ready.

I learned to flare in 8th grade,

and I was weak as eff xD

[BboyPhlo]

Also to help with getting more flares, focus on your hangtime.

[shippuden905]

gained wieght haha more like gained alot more muscle and power

[BboyChunGViN]

looks like you gained some weight compared to the videos of you a year ago lmao

[xViNCexBBx]

forgot the mention my last reaction was @

babyyoyoboy ;)

[Toby1993LA]

hey, good tutorial, and your flare is good two, watch out my video ;)

[Flashlegz]

Hand placement is very important, as soon as you know where to put them you're golden, just need to figure out the timing and momentum

[ProDgY]

hi am vince , 16 y old. Im bboy since october 2009 and today i was in the breakdance lesson we tried to learn flares but it still doesnt work.. I have problems with kicking my leg up. I always fall on my ass.xD Can you give me tips ? And are you a filipino?

[babyyoyoboy]

@xViNCexBBx hes viet

do you have any muscle built up?

[xViNCexBBx]

Oh hes viet :D i thought he was filipino xD im am.. And yeah i have enough muscles i think.. Cuz i do fitness to.. and push ups 40. So i think that enough.

[babyyoyoboy]

@xvincexbbx

you are obviously strong enough, you just need to stretch it sounds like, make sure you can do basically a side splits

i myself am working on flares and im having troubles incorporating my hips into the momentum, it just feels odd but i am getting there

oh and im filipino btw

[BboyUnusuall]
