[thetaxiucla]

"I can go more. I'm pretty tired." No offense but why not wait an hour or two and then film the flares?

[numb4z]

i was all pissed off cuz the first day i ever tried a flare i could only do half and thats suppose to be a month of practice?

[FreeMovement808]

I need some help on my flares, whenever i do them my legs go to high in the front and i end up losing momentum in the back? any tips?

[BBoyJodo]

[Warayume]

can you do a flare or air flare?

[aquacrisis]

Your tutorial is amazing.. of all the videos only yours , got up to me.. thx man.. Love your tutorial~ <3 :D

[kunoichiOneX]

determined to improve my flares! even if i'm a girl. xD

[Eye8UrWaffle]

Remember when you do the swiping motion you have to keep your leg straight. Try to kick your leg like straight into your face it wont actually hit your face but it'll give you air.

[Tyrannobenji101]

You should remake this video

[LoverNhaters]

[mrnumber1hero]

[TheMinecraftersDiary]

@mysteriousALPHA no, your sense of humor is fine.

[ichigorulz10]

does u have a relative named dillon? jus wondering

[JrSpice9]

oww my need my nose

[exSpades]

For people learning flares. YOU DON'T NEED MUSCLES. It's about Technique. Sure muscles will help, but all you need to do is keep to keep training.

[hydrokineticwave]

Lol the hand motions..nice...

[lauramitchelcave]

i fell on the floor ! :(

[TheMinecraftersDiary]

This video taught me how to kick my face.

[4343felix]

[WhatIsThisThe80s]

[strides1000]

is any ones lats bigger than the other side from doing flares?

[kinglynx]

do you need alot of strentgh

[freedom1476]

@kinglynx Not so much strength, but good balance and lots of momentum, muscles are important too, but not as important as everyone makes it seem :P

[carnage2112029]

i did it, i did i ,i bloody did it, thanx man i luv u.

[KewlVietBboy97]

This is only an opinion, but maybe you can lean your head in any direction, so then your lower body will follow, & that will give you more air(:

[JustThumbsMeUp]

hey which is better to serve 1st left hand or right hand?

[JDzer0]

I'm having difficulty going for the 2nd flare. Any tips?

[aldrengen200300]

I falled down the stairs...

[umerkhaniz]

thanks dude

[XlXDarkLinkXlX]

it´s very hard O.o

[ZFresh44]

i tried this on tiles and i bruised my butt knuckles

[LittleMKing]

What type of muscle do you really need for this? Abs, biceps, what?

[EnigmaticElement]

@LittleMKing I would say strong abdominal & oblique muscles are key due to the movement of the hips in the flare. However, the flare is mostly muscle memory like pretty much every bboy move.

[gingerninjefication]

If only i had a place to practice :/

[MrProfessorDoctorGuy]

I whip my hips back and forth.

[sahejdeepify]

it look easy in vedio but itz nt tht eazy

[xDarkFathom]

It's all mustle memory. Don't keep making the same mistakes, try to fix them as fast as possible

[yankeesaintsfan1]

[BlazingPhionix]

To Tha Face!

[secCheGuevara]

heei man. I'm a man and not gay or sth like that but I swear your voice sounds soooo cool. I bet women love your voice. :D

[95abdelkarim]

windmills r easier to learn,

flares r easier after learning

[TheSilentAssassin5]

whats easier: flares or windmills??

[Jhakaro]

@TheSilentAssassin5 well if you look at his windmill tutorial and this then you can see he basically says windmills, as they shud take a week or two if practiced correctly a flare he said can take months. On top of that he said that flares are different than windmills in that when you have a windmill you can easily continue onto 2 or 3 etc. but with flares you have to learn to get a second one so it's harder, despite all this, it all depends on the person. You cud just find the flare easier!

[BBoyExFlow]

I Had 15 flares and i quit breakdanceing for 8 month and now i only have 1 falre and i cant keep going lol thats wierd ...

[botviper]

thnx man my flares use to be fales they still are but they are slightly better

[Silverninja714]

pretty cool

[caMix3NoMusicNoLife]

I'm a girl, I don't have muscles D:

[sasukechidoree]

@caMix3NoMusicNoLife If you keep practicing youll get better and better you dont need to be too strong to do this just not to out of shape and most of the key thing to flare is the kick and rest is just technique

[caMix3NoMusicNoLife]

@sasukechidoree Ehm.. Sorry, I understood half of things that you said... I'm Italian :(

[BBoyExFlow]

@caMix3NoMusicNoLife its all in the kicks and moveing your arms faster and your leg dnt worry youl get good at it ;)

[caMix3NoMusicNoLife]

@BBoyExFlow Ehm.. Thanks! I'll try it until I'll come at me! (if it says so..)

Sorry for the bad spelling, but I'm Italian

[FilipinoyC]

@caMix3NoMusicNoLife technique comes before muscle ;)

[TheNerfninja]

@caMix3NoMusicNoLife even girls have muscles

[gianyboy66]

@caMix3NoMusicNoLife nn devi avere muscoli per flare ^^ solo la tecnica^^

[DDoiS]

@caMix3NoMusicNoLife cute girl by the way =D~~~~

[caMix3NoMusicNoLife]

@DDoiS Ahahaha thank you! :)

[bboykiddinamit1]

@caMix3NoMusicNoLife u have tons of girls doing air flares...

[ilovemusic97ful]

@caMix3NoMusicNoLife I want to dance breack dance I am a girl I dont have muscles

[JP6193]

@ilovemusic97ful Im a really skinny guy and a really short one as well. I always thought i couldnt break because of my lack of muscles but hey after i started and got hooked i realized that it doesnt matter alot if you dont. Im still skinny but i have more power on my own weight

[ShiningSilverwind]

@caMix3NoMusicNoLife Everybody has muscles

[halomanthach]

@caMix3NoMusicNoLife u dont need it just bulid balance u really dont need mucles

[dubya13207]

@caMix3NoMusicNoLife one name....beat freaks :)

[Personalizado94]

@caMix3NoMusicNoLife

[caMix3NoMusicNoLife]

@Personalizado94 Ahaha XDXD

[Ironicfail]

icant keep my legs up...

[aqswefhtgy]

I learned this in 3 hours. :D

[JabbaQueTics]

at 4:26 listen carefully "kick ur face"

[briancladdeson]

if u want air get out of ur house :P

[shooker244]

how am i suppose to transition between windmills or airflares into flares if my flares are counter clockwise and my windmills and airflares are clockwise

[domingobvaldezjr]

@shooker244 not to be blunt but pretty much dont favour one side and practice both sides to improve your 'weaker side'

[shooker244]

@domingobvaldezjr thank you, i try my flare clockwise but it is sooo hard D:

[domingobvaldezjr]

@shooker244 if you got airflares down use that momentum to transition into flares or vice versa, try your airflares counter clockwise

[ReallyBigJump]

I only watched this because I thought this guy was Michelle Phan's brother . . . so he's gotta be good at doing tutorials, right?

[LorChangProduction]

damn! i did it and i knee my nose and it bleed. it hurts but ima still gonna try it.
