paul hamm airflare training

[notBenSmith]

Thumbs up if you muted it when he started talking!!

[75Prelives]

That's a badass move!

[eazzy3434]

airflare is breakdance not gynastic

[Humblemynd]

@eazzy3434 lol alot of the stuff they do in breaking is taken from gymnastics

[adibadro]

with all his skills... and muscle memory from all the othe exercises... he just could not "get it" guess he needs some time alone with gamblerz

[kyleiroe]

atleast hip hop influenced a very respected sport. [?] wheres the love. keep it up man.

[cj222100]

I love watching gymnastics, but I have to admit, I always find it so disturbing to watch a man do a split

[jimmyfromwest18]

keep it up man you are born for that!!!

[tigergreg8]

Why do you people keep comparing Bboy to a gymnast, That is like saying, if you know how to play the trumpet, you should know how to play the trombone, It just isn't so.

[ORIGINALGANGST4]

how can he possibly be the best gymnast in the world when there are bboys that can do that in their sleep? not to mention do it on their elbows, wrists, with their legs bent, one handed, inverted, lotus and do it all 10 times faster?

[iamjoseph951]

in bboying you're actually supposed to point your toes in for power moves, unlike gymnastics

[thatbboyrandom1]

this guys a gymnast not a bboy mna.. sheez gymnast are about perfection while a bboy aka a powermove bboy would be a bout pefection form and creativity and hight in power there is a huge difference

[hackform]

the problem is this boy is trained to much the supperior(up) part of body like arms abs shoulders and the lower part of body like legs is insufficient trained. So the discrepancy between up and down part of the body is to big that make him an incomplet (unbalanced) atlet that cant do complex move that involves simultaneously both parts of the body

[shevegen]

It's not about the airflare...

gymnasts are great, but the airflare is a powermove used in a DANCE

[shevegen]

a girl is talking

[nagiichik]

Дааа...выход с флая,конечно же шикарный,вот как его так крутить!!?

[SmartArtgurafikku]

excuse me!

[GES1985]

dude.. when you fall, just go into a windmill, keep your momentum, and try again when on the next go around. good work though

[ORIGINALGANGST4]

@GES1985 hes a gymnast i doubt he does windmills, more of a bboy thing no?

[GES1985]

@ORIGINALGANGST4 for sure.. but still every gymnast who can do this, should know how to do a windmill

[sajze58]

helium? :D



[WiTeBoi]

oh, one more thing... if you can't windmill, you can't airflare... they are basically the same movement.

[WiTeBoi]

I think the problem was he was powering through it, rather than using enough leg and speed. It's like people who can only do 2 flares and the second one is starting to drag. That's because they are strong and can muscle through the first only. Watch bboys that airflare, their bodies are much more relaxed and less tense. I think Hamm should keep practicing with some powerheads.

[Selusniaki]

[LetfFoot4ward]

is this morgans husband

[CappitranoBellephant]

@LetfFoot4ward It's his twin brother (yes I'm sure you were just leaving an asshole comment)

[katomania]

they have nice breakbeats in the background

[anhisking]

you cant keep comparing these guys to bboys especially when gymnast have to worry about straight legs, constant angle and pointed toes. makes its alot harder than you think

[jesereyes]

Heard your voice and i was like... STEROIDS!

[trikstar198]

morgan came to my summer camp to teach us these once paul got them

[Vijin321]

Are we gonna see airflares at the next Olympics?!

[einhundzweihund]

How can a world class gymnast be struggling with this move?

I'm not saying it's easy, but this guy has been to the Olympics...

[ItalianR23]

no need to give up i still cant do a simple flare :(

[bripowered]

Hes got it!...why is he giving up???

[rhythmicalbenz]

hahaahaa.... good but funny

[Metalcob7891]

u need to take lessons from bboy lil g

[wilsagastizado]

nice voice lol

[shinigamiichigo]

yes it is ! im a bboy my self I've been out of the scene but yes its really hard to get the air flare i alwas had like 4 or 5 at themost once i had luck to hit 10 but only that one time! you have it really clean and your flexibility is really great! you got it just keep practicing!

[jjrocs124]

haha he does sound gay and he kept fallin he sux

[Jay2theRadPT]

He needs to be coached by a bboy. Would be better than gymnast coaching.

[bboyanast]

@Jay2theRadPT bboys already are the next level of the airflare!

[sunset96]

if he does that at the olympics...

[LUSFNA48]

Why can't an Olympic gymnast (did I spell that right) do them breakdance moves? I thought it would be easy for them. I guess not.

[jongsong86]

@LUSFNA48

Because to an extent, bboying is more difficult lol.

[papadhmitrioy]

whats wrong with his voice?

[amazinggchris]

I wish I can do the air flare

[QuoTzyPH]

Ninja warrior.

[bboyhiphopTDN]

this is so annoyed when people keep comparing between gymnast n bboy. Shut up n go practice. Done!

[surpris3m345]

Do it on hard floor you pussy

[BboyTonyxTheOne]

Damnn!!!! Im a Bboy 1 year and a half ago... Im not professional, and I can do more airflares than him... And him being a ''professional'' he cant do them? I cant believe this, Bboying is MY OLIMPICS! But bro, Im not hatin' just keep it up my friend and I hope your dreams come true :D

[dvlarry]

Just goes to show how difficult some of the bboy powermoves are. Even top olympic gymnasts are having trouble doing it.

[hackform]

@dvlarry Rong . The gimnast discipline is helping him and stoping him same time to succeed doing it. Is like a bodybuilder has much beter condition den most of the ppl , beter feed, evry muscle on 100% capacity of functinality , highy tonus etc but cant run like a normal ppl that run evry dey as a hobby in park for 5 year for ex.

Same whit gimnast vs breackdnce

This is an exagerate exmple (maibe not the best) just to ppl undestand the ideea

[bboynandoDF]

kkkkk ta caindo de proposito !

[gun123456zak]

Gymnasts...We have style. They're gay.

[Subanoob]

Nemov best gymnast

[unclebraddah]

Paul...you keep falling because in your transition, your chin is tucked in which causes your hips to collapse.

[OdysseusAres5500]

learn to windmill so if you fall down you can just transition, still keep it going

[ichigorulz10]

@OdysseusAres5500 no. learn to windmill so it looks cool >:O

[MrCornRevolution]

kinda looks like his bones are breaking or something?

[TrentonABillings]

at 0:42 is the background music Bliss and Eso?

[MA0niner]

oh paul!!!

[RestrictedSprinter17]

i love how when he fails he just ragdoll lands on the floor.

[lincolnthaboss]

Damn its crazy how he starts his flares his air flares are good too.

[DanielPerezK]

apparently him hitting the floor is the next level

[goodyearrex]

U cry when u back on the floor.. but u don't know that the 99% of people that see this video can make 1 flare: )

[asianprideyo69]

not easy stuff ive tried too  especially after a floor routine

[breakdncr85]

gymnast: point your toes like your gay,

b-boy: fuck it- lets do some airflares

[AdonayFloresLaMota]

LMAO funny voice..

[pinball2k6]

Takes 3-6 months to learn? wtf are on about...? I just tried it for the first time ever and I did 19 in a row, but then my hand slipped. I'll do some more later if I feel like it

[RhabdoGFCM]

My name is up there on one of those plaques. Scholar athlete 2003!!!!

[elbowmjc]

more work with your body either with legs, that's the problem - you are not moving your body, positioning

[Viic88]

So gymnastics have started to copy breakdance-moves? that's pretty cool

[justincredible9446]

the airflare is a difficult move mastered by powerheads good to see gymnasts picking it up morgan hamm has a nicer airflare though

[niconico1997]

fuck of you !!!

[MrTiago63378]

kara vc tá sem força!

[HI101094]

he should just ask some bboys and role up at a jam, far as ik ALL bboys are very willing

[justincredible9446]

he nailed them!

[NolaVascular504]

IM BOUT TO GO H.A.M.

[ShowTime4232]

you just need to flip harder so your hand got space to stand straight up

[Sk8erBoi808]

your using all strength, try using momentum, and dude if ur a gymnyst dam if u learn momentum with leg cordination, u would b beast probably do 20+ if u dont get dizzy :D. my record was only 4 :S. lack strength...

[lolforfree]

And it's Olimp. Ch. ? pfffffffffff

[hillchrest]

morgan hamm can eat shit he dint invent this and he dint give respect to the people he stole it from fucking crook. at least bboys say the got thomas from gymnastics

[UsedToy01]

Hahaha. NO GOOD AT THE AIRFLARE?!?

He hit 2 in 3 months...i've been working on mine for at least twice that amount of time...Im sure if he probably has it down by now...

[weareelectricc]

@UsedToy01 I actually thought he would have been better at it's beginning... I mean, I know many bboys that in 3 months of practice have reached many more than 2... And I'm in Rosario, Argentina =D

And I know this guy must have not pracised it all the time, but bboys either, or do you know of a bboy that can practice the same step for more than 20 minutes ? xD It's boooooooooooring.

Besides starting it from Flares makes learning half the way

[bboysistou]

@weareelectricc stop being ridiculous ,no one can get mutiple airflare in 3 months at least 6 month to get one airflare

[weareelectricc]

@bboysistou You're really being ridiculous... I mean, you're even a bboy =S Here in Argentina, Bboy Pablo and Bboy Alexis got more than 2 air tracks in three months practicing IT. There are way more out there that learned Air Track fast too. This guy is a great gymnast... He has much more strength and flexibility than many bboys, and he has an incredible Flare wich makes air track much easier to learn. Also the gym is a much better place for training than the floor. No excuses, I expected more.

[bboysistou]

@weareelectricc I have never saw a bboy get the airflare in less than six month ,but in case of this gymnast may be he don't had the technique to performe the airflare but at the end he got it ,it does not matter how long you practice but the most essential is the get the move ,realy his airflare is very clean better than a lot of bboys

[weareelectricc]

youtube .com/ watch?v= 1g9dp5-9x-c Bboy Alexis, 10-11 years must have at that video. He could do more than 8 airflares at that time, and he had around a year of bboying (dont know airflares).

youtube .com/ watch?v= eXOTLuOxr5E Bboy Pablo, 16-17 years at that video. Couldnt find a video of him doing many airflares, but he can around 7, I have videos. Must have taken 9 months of practice to get them.

[weareelectricc]

@bboysistou here are more:

.youtube.com/watch?v=eRGO6ZJqD­ow Bboy Machi, idk years, but he is a beast, must have learned them fast.

He's from Argentina too.

youtube.com/watch?v=QlG_Bj9Xlk­U Bboy Gato from Mexico, idk years, same as Machi, he is so talented, he must have learned airflares like walking.

Those are around the ones I somewhat know, there are many more skillful bboys that learned airflare fast.

You can't deny there is a lot of difference... But it's normal, bboys are pure floor

[BboyFilix]

@bboysistou hmm i learned it in a month more or less..on a wooden floor..now you see a bboy who learned it in less then six months..its funny how we bboys took flares from gymnastics and now they are taking airflares in to it..cheers :D

[hadi257]

@bboysistou very clean??it's because his legs are quite straight while doing the airflare unllike the B-boys who doesnt really straighten their legs

[007finness]

@bboysistou I met this bboy from korea, physicx's room mate, he said he got his airflares in 6 weeks. And he can do airflares clockwise and counterclockwise.

[stratcatstar]

@bboysistou Hes a gymnast. He trains form. We have style.

[GamerJelly]

@bboysistou Well i have seen bboys get this in less than 6 months.

Ive also seen far better airflares, this is mediorce compared to breakdancers.

[letopis123456]

helium??:D:D

[619puppet619]

@letopis123456 Jersey :P

[plagesmith]

@letopis123456 jajajajajajja lol

[plagesmith]

@letopis123456 lol :)

[udontnoimkool]

@letopis123456 steroids = helium voice and small dick lol

[bboysistou]

all what i want to say is don't be restricted to one style ,be open minded accept other desciplines, from each style select the beter moves and by adding your own touch you will be in the summet ,take as exemple bboy demon he is powermoves and tricker he has frankly good style

[Doodnauth100]

@bboysistou can you give me some tip for flares please

[bboysistou]

@Doodnauth100 no problem but have you a video to give you tips ?,i will give you essential things start by slight openning your legs and try to pull your right leg in way it will not be in the same line and now try to swing this right leg while that try to keep your left hand as height as possible now normally your legs will be both in the air try to lean your body to let your left leg to get down ,it not realy clear but i hope it will help you ,i am ready to answer your question don't be shy

[bboysistou]

@bboysistou in line 4 I mean keep your left leg as heigh as possible*

[Doodnauth100]

@bboysistou youre awesome man i am getting the first half clean but i am getting trouble coming around in the back do i have to kick my leg higher or something? :)

[bboysistou]

@Doodnauth100 sorry of being late to answer ,yes keep the left leg as heigh as possible and swing with your left right leg as hard as possible and try to keep it up also and when you reach your right side lean your body and keep your right leg up in form of side kick ,if you haven't understand ask me

[bboysistou]

@TENENBATT fuck you stop talking danky

[TENENBATT]

@bboysistou lol chill i was kidding.. calm down.. :)

[spritedblue]

last two years ago i have up on airflare cos i thought i was too weak. then i looked at this guy at his first he was crashing and falling and i realized airflares aren't just power. its technique. cos i know this guy is hella strong. then now. i got airflares :D haha :D

[bboyzuel]

u have big arms,bboys can get airflares in only few moths,and they are only skinny.

[spritedblue]

@bboyzuel not as clean as them. and the motion is very unfamiliar with them.

[BboyShinnny]

이것은 좋지 않아 ... 지금 체조하고, bboy 이사를 배우는 곧 에어 트랙은 아무것도 아니다 ... 필요

지하에있을 ... 지금 그들은 체조 사람으로부터 평가 필요한가요? bboy 플레어 훨씬 더 당신보다 체조 깨끗합니다

[scorpiotiger22]

now all you need to is learn toprock and six and you would be a sick ass bboy

[bboysistou]

@scorpiotiger22 no he don't need to practise toprock and sixstep because they are bullshits only powermoves it's sufficient for him because he is a powerfull gymnast and he will train to incarnate his power into powermoves

[scorpiotiger22]

@bboysistou ok

[KrzysioFisiol]

@bboysistou

toprocks are bullshit ? and you call yourself a "bboy" :O ????

fuck fou , fuck gymnasts

powermoves only for real bboys !!!!

[bboysistou]

@KrzysioFisiol bboying is not a devine low, I do it as I like and I consider it a sport not a dance so all thing which has relation with dance they don't interest me ,and don't insult persons which you don't know poor ignorant

[KrzysioFisiol]

@bboysistou

so you are not a b-boy

you are just a sucker who steal moves from breakdance like Hamm brothers

breakdance/bboying is a DANCE - powermoves are dance moves. Found by bboys , belong to bboys and only true when the music plays.

[weirdboypro]

@KrzysioFisiol yo i support u man,i dislike the fact tat he said tat top rock is bullshit while his account name contains the word bboy in it

[bboysistou]

@weirdboypro bboying is not a divine law you can creat your style without being brain washed ,toprock it's just a debut wether you do it or not ,it's not necessairly

[bboysistou]

@weirdboypro i love only powermoves like bboy punisher ,demon,marcio,the end ,cico and many others

[bboysistou]

@scorpiotiger22 shut up and stop being ridiculous , bboying bring the flare from gymnastics and bboys perform powermoves and creat the airflare so bboying and gymnastics are disciplines which they learn from each ,and be open minded not brain washed

[scorpiotiger22]

@bboysistou why are you coming to at me??? i havent said anything to piss but if you want to go that far ok... lets talk about you... you call your self a bboy but your nothing but a whinny little bitch who's like to run his mouth thinking that you know all about bboying but really you dont know shit. if you ask me i think your the one who is brain wash

[bboysistou]

@scorpiotiger22 stop talking otherwise i will fu ck you

[scorpiotiger22]

@bboysistou make me stop talking bitch

[scorpiotiger22]

@bboysistou i think your coming at the wrong person dip shit!!!

[Sustructy]

@bboysistou how can you consider breakDANCE as a sport and not a dance? Lemme guess, you're a big fan of Cico aren't you? No toprocks, not listening to the music... You got a long way to go dude

[cheechwizzard101]

for 3 months that's pretty good.. if he worked on them for another 3 months he would he would have them locked down.. i've seen people take much longer to learn them, but then you have people like bboy pocket lol

youtube.com/watch?v=wa5vIkOnwJ­w

[bboysistou]

@cheechwizzard101 frankly I don't think that he got it in 3 months i think it's a lie because when morgan hamm did it in visa championship the commenter said that his brother paul try to learn it and couldn't figure out but the most important that he get it

[cheechwizzard101]

@bboysistou Ye 3 months is a bit quick and kind of hard to believe. i've seen people spend years trying to get them, even one air flair and not get them. i know one person who has been drilling them since around 98 and since can't do one lol.. i only met one person who said they got them straight away and that was on their word??? also at hamm age it would be a lot harder to learn, but fair enough not many 28 year olds learn air flairs

[bboysistou]

@cheechwizzard101 his brother morgan took 2 years to learn it

[justincredible9446]

morgan hamm learned faster because he learned airflare from a handstand first!

[freax4u]

rofl this is awesome bboy is in the olympics soon... they gonna be top rockin and doing 2000s and soon its gonna be on cardboard =D

[hadi257]

morgan's airflare much better

[hadi257]

the way he fall looks cute

[ratchboy3876]

its funny how buff he is and how high his voice is:p

[iiNaRcOtIkZz]

00:46 lol quit ur bitchN

[RRAvon]

@iiNaRcOtIkZz He broke a nail

[TheDjingo]

hahahah how often you have is trauma, do not be evil congregation but it looks bad from good improvement for next time

[TheDjingo]

getting worse and worse let it give you trouble for nothing peace :)

[MegaMoFUnk]

HE BENT HIS LEG!! first time seeing a gymnast do it.

[jexman41]

wow if a gymnast has a problem doing this i feel so discouraged in even trying to learn.

[ajluni2008]

what a +@#_$( voice

[radydragoon]

i just need time bro keep it up ur in the right way after a year u will do many many

[smooshiebear80]

The section where hes gonna throw a temper tantrum always cracks me up! There's another clip on the website where Morgan tells him what he's doing wrong and Paul gives him the glare of death that's just hilarious. fyi, yes, the FIG gave it a D rating. It's a shame Morgan didn't get to do it at a worlds or Olympics to have it named after him.

[SaiVue517]

A skill rated at least as a D...? T.T

[davidstyle007]

nice
