[jopesquera]

the end the king of powermoves

[PaulCajigal]

SO CLEAN!!!!!!!

[Bunheadgirl]

I followed these instructions and did the best flares I've ever done. I allways thought you had to go as high as you could in the front. I would struggle so hard. I made the mistakes they were talking about. After I followed the directions everything changed. All the bboys were saying that I made it look so easy. At many points in my bboy life I felt like I would never get flares. Now I know I will have them and that is a dream come true for me! Thankyou so much for adding subtitles:^)

[Chakanie]

@Bunheadgirl ur welcome good to know adding the subs years back helps ppl like this lol

[zholerz]

[BBoyJet7]

@bboiTK Ur windmill leg straight? if is it , den try swinging ur flare like windmill .

[QuietRain]

yo these boys must get korean chicks like babimBAP

[IamtheHeartandtheSha]

For all of you learning flares, this tutorial forgot to mention one thing. When they said to have your left leg "float" when you start a flare, think of it as trying to kick your face. You know how they said, "right leg must be stuck near your ear"? That's exactly want you want to do with your left leg when starting flares. This may or may not help, but for me I noticed that it gave me air. My hips went up, making this move so much easier to pull off than with the way I was doing it before.

[K4zKyzah]

@IamtheHeartandtheSha

well, it is essential indeed but you need to be careful not to kick to high in the beginning, only enough to give you minimal height in the front, otherwise you will collapse if you are too high in the beginning.

BTW

they forgot to mention another thing, in order to bring your butt up in the rear you must push the ground with your left hand (clockwise) very important!

[teejjesrai]

Song used when he demonstrates flares is:

Muscle Shoals Horns - Breakdown

;)

[bylcreem5]

i cant keep my high back !!! argh !

[Kheiredinek]

Thanks for the subtitles !!!!!! it was very very usuful.

-BBoy from North Africa.-

[ZarathustraEX]

I....am in my first day in my life learning to be a breakdancer.When I think about it,flare ain't so hard.BUT,easier said than done.

No matter what,before I go into this I must add more strength to my hands and stretch out my legs.That's the first thing to do.

[lilaznkid76]

You did not waste your time, i got my first flare cause of this vid, thanks =)

[jeangu2002]

[Bugz0013]

pelvis not waist ==

[mauri100bboy]

greatt :)

5stars genial tutorial thenks

[boredazn1207]

rule of thumb. if you're flexible, it makes this move alot more easier. please don't disagree for this is true on a lot of levels of powermoves. lol

[bboyhoangpride11]

@boredazn1207 hey man umm how flexible u gotta get to do like 1 clean round flare like bruce lee( like touch ur toes, do the splits, or leg behind ur head flexible) plz reply :( im like splits flexable and go to my channel it has a picture of me and probably a vid on me "TRYING" to do a flare :3

[Bugz0013]

it's good to be flexible, over-flexible will make ur powermoves look sloppy, Control the muscles :D

[BboyHumm]

@boredazn1207 totally. my legs are really stiff and its hella hard. I'm actually spending a lot of time stretching instead of actually practicing...damn

[bboyhoangpride]

go subs they rule ":3 im learning flares and a new language that= breakdancing around the world, too bad my flares suck and i can only do a half round then i fall (ANY TIPS PLZ )

[bboypunka]

hahaha kool...like bboy bruce lee shirt

[Bboy4Lyfe30757]

hahahaha XD i like how bruce lee is demonstrating how to do a flare with his hips lol he looks funny

[bboydax1]

popok yo!!!!

[Mistavio]

Thanks for the subs man! I appreciated how you didn't leave out any translations where some people just translate basic stuff and it leaves out small, but important tips.

[BboyChingC]

why is it called thomas?

[suikoden123248]

the guy that first did a flare was named thomas.

[diablitoxiv2]

i do my flares counter clock wise but i always hit my right knee on the ground. and it keeps me from continuin from one. any tips?

[bboyPI3CEz]

sweep your whole right leg. your prolly kickin it n bendin it instead of swingin it. oh n kick your lrft leg super high n hold it

[diablitoxiv2]

alright thanks for the tip =D

[r3n39ad3]

lean away from ur legs....this makes more power for them....

[HI101094]

its funny when pros make tutorials, they r so good and do the moves soo much they dont realize how hard it is for regular bboys haha

they're so strong n flexible they r like "Oh its quite easy all u need to do is.... doesnt require much strength or flexibility" lol

[BboyEclisse91]

@HI101094 for stenght try planche or tucked planche,for flexibility just do some stretch (splits etc.)

[jamesthomas211]

the guy who invented flares was named thomas a gymnast

[thebboytoro]

thk the english

[bboycwalk94]

wow i almost got my flares

[lonleywander]

i dont no y but when i try my flares, i get half the circle and then the leg i swing with just comes down before my other gets to go under it

[DaryllPeria7]

omg lol he makes up look so easy but its hard =0

[bboynemosaleen]

my flares sometimes get high in the front and back.

[bboydizzy69]

this acualy helpss. i got two flares finaly..after i dnt knoe how longg. SSAK!!..

[yosunnyo]

my ass hurt like hell and so did my hip.

[georgeofthedesert]

hes lucky hes got such tiny legs, mine are too long, i get drag lol he has such perfect split flares

[Oyashio202]

if u check bboy bruce lee and the end are actually really tall, and that probably explains why it takes the end to do a complete rotation of his legs than other bboys

[bboymonk3y]

my black friend is hella tall, I'd say 6'3 and he can do 10 perfect flares easy. it doesnt matter how tall you are, just do it :D

[darkworldx]

damn ....it's like his flare was nothin to him .....he was doing just as easy as a freeze

When I do flare ....I was sweating like hell XD damn...

[darkworldx]

white font? -0-

[pnpyoass]

way to use white font!!!

[bboyhights]

do u have to force your leg to get next to your head

[bboyhights]

hell ya your the power move in your crew!!!!!

[eazyeeminem]

good teacher

[darkmask808]

does "thomas" mean flare in korean?

[CapacityCrew]

No, the gymnastics move called "thomas" is "flare" according to breakdancing terminology.

[randyloveSECKS]

whats the difference between a flare and a tomas?

or are they just different name?

[3ldenbay0t]

hahah bboy bruce lee is too cool!!

and isn't the reason why the end's flares are high in the back is because from the side he doesn't bend that lower leg like most people?

[Aznstr33t]

lol yo yo yo check it out that made me laugh but the video was pro

[BboyGrocery]

i still got one flare lolz one day, one day i will have many flares lolz .

[awaldoster]

any tutorial videos from gambler is legit shit :DDD

[bboypunka]

cool n nice shirt dude

[realkef]

you only need to stretcg your lower body right ?

[BboyDiogar]

thx for subs

I´m practicing my self

[Noojtxeeg]

Lol at 3:30

[Sockie125]

does flexibility matter cause i cant get my leg up no where near my head

[vujohn17]

will you gain flexibility when you keep practicing

[Sockie125]

cool...

[bB0yFury]

haha yeap but then if u want to get better at flares faster thn u shud always stretch before and after u break..yeap works for me i already have 5 flares after i a week of hard stretching

[realkef]

how long you stretch you for ?

[bB0yFury]

yeap u need to catch some air so ur flares will be high enough for a second round or transition into airtracks

[bB0yFury]

hey guys i find out that if u stretch more to increase ur splits flexibilty then u will have better flare practices!!!..like omg..hahaha

[BGiRLxiLLUZiON]

very true, haahaha.

[sonyyaaj]

man..he goes counterclockwise

[LProcka]

CCW FTW hahaha

[Itagaki32]

he goes clockwise

[vujohn17]

hahahahahahhahahaahaha yo yo, Yoooo, check it out (wth) lmao haha

[mayan212]

lol at 5:10

[anhbin2110]

love his flexibility flare :D:D

[stylks]

thanks a lot!!!

[sengx]

his flare is like doing a splitz wow my flexibilty sucks

[bboymonk3y]

if I practice with shoes, would I be able to get used to do flares with freaken 1-2 pounds(shoes) on my feet?

[bboyclike]

practicewithout shoes first. then when u understand the move better try doing it with shoes....thats wat i had to do. trust me, this works with any power move.

[bboymonk3y]

I do without shoes but if I put on my shoe will I get used to having shoes on while doing flares..? that was my question :D

[bboyclike]

yes. your abs will eventually get stronger from the flares with shoes on your feet, and your body will adapt.

[bboymonk3y]

well ok thanks, another question, when going to the back, how do you keep your legs far apart from eachother? my legs are too close together in the back thats why I lose momentum real fast..any tips?

[bboyclike]

just remember that flares are almost EXactly like windmills. u gota keep ur legs in a V shape at ALL times.

[bboymonk3y]

alrighty I will try, thanks man..

[bboyclike]

no problem :D

[lovejessica531]

thanks for the sub.. next time sub it in a dark colour cause you can't read the hole thing

[BboyDelPuga]

thanks for translate man 5/5

[bioburn]

gamblers r funny but makes it fun

[bB0yFury]

woa..really...koo;]

[bB0yFury]

whiy do they call it a thomas flare

[ShadySamurai]

the gymnast who invented it was name thomas.

[bboyandi82]

nope, the first who did them was the Canadian Phillip Delassal. Thomas only the first guy who did them on the world championchips.

peace

[cryspypotato]

We Russians call them Delassal, or just flare.

[anhbin2110]

ohhh, so what?

[cryspypotato]

It's not fare to call them Tomas if they guy who invented them was Dellasal, Thomas only used them in a competition for the first time- like the guy on the 3 page or whatever said.

[Jooma008]

thankx for making the translation i subscribed and rated :D

[Vraneon]

Thanks, for translating :)

[kiat07]

lol thx e subs helped alot

[XSmak]

hey chakanie, are you abl to speak korean?!?!

[foo2020]

is easy to learn flare but is HARD to make it clean and more rounds! damn! i wonder how long did KYS take to make his flare this nice!?

[dhp1161]

its not really that easy lol

[shinryujinaga88]

its easy if only a single flare..the hard part is where you want to do 2 flares. for beginners.

[bB0yFury]

beginners have low flares at first but if they keep practicing their flares will get higher..yeap took me a few weeks til i got a second clean round

[Itagaki32]

yeah me to

[bB0yFury]

niiiccee

[MrDotEugenio]

it only took me about 1 month ta get one flare xD ehhh im only 5 months bboy

[BBoyDogma]

[bloodzelve]

YOOYOYOYOYOYOOYOYOYO

[iProxx7]

i can only do 1 and it took me like a year. my second flare looks like shit and i land on my ass. advice please

[Xs3x4yXkrnXfobX2]

flare is a powermove that takes a long time to learn, just kep practicising

[bboyloco3]

your supose too swing your legs not kick your face cus your just ganna go up then down but if you swing it your ganna have the wipp and get more

[CloudyChristian]

so you have to keep your legs spread out?

[xXBBoyBrianXx]

Thanks alot to Gambler Crew & Chakanie, for subbing this. I noticed what i failed when i saw this video. Now I have flare, not as perfect as Yeonsoo but i just have to stretch out. Maybe i'll try to sub this video in SPANISH. Peace

[kapacinno]

yes i noticed what i failed to do as well and this video def. helped

[xknife17]

tips:

when you can flare up to 5-10

just repeat it every day and without noticing that you are already building strength with that.

and after a month try to put some combinations with it.

thats all i know! lol haha:))

[bboydynamix]

hii there im goin to upload this video on my account to c how long it takes utube to delete the video if not gone in a week i will delete it myself i no how hard u work subbin this thnk u for ure time

(THIS IS A TEST THNKU FOR URE TIME)

[talimfreak]

dude thanks man

this helped alot

[samsamek]

kj;lm;';

k

[erichsiao123]

my right leg dont get high enough so i then sorta stop. do u sorta push with ur right hand to shift weight to ur left hand and lift ur right lieg up so get height? THANKS

[defaultkid]

you're probably not swinging your hips OR you're not kick ina circle. flares should feel smooth and you should never feel a full pull in any other direction other than OUT (by keeping your legs strait. )

there are basically 2 kicks in a flare.. the right leg and the left leg kick the same. your right leg needs to sweep and then go to your face and then your left needs to sweep and go up in the back.

[NaturalSelectionCrew]

yo yo, yo, check it out :D

[rddlemeths]

some of the subs blended with other text popping up in the vid, but it's all good. thanks a lot for doin this, it really helped me.

[BboyAntikiller]

Mr poooohh bear!!!

ILUVU!!!

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[iTzDisZ]

yay, since i keep smacking my heels on the floor and smacking my ass too since i can't get my first kick up that good, ill be able to do like 20 or 30 rounds one day like Bruce Lee said :D. Haha jk ill practice a lot until i get five :P

[SyrumvsAntidote]

men dont giggle...they chuckle. lol. is flare really something i should know? im can do airflare and windmill, but my flare is a disgrace. should i really start spending some time on it?

[BboydnL]

yup! u can do it!

[swimmer1215]

DAK!!!! lmfao!!

[johnsmoke911]

Dont forget when learning powermoves like this keep in mind your preferred direction of your headspin, 1990,and airflare

[BboyDolce127]

i love these videos

gamblerz' other videos when they do it alone are so serious and less interesting lol

these have a funny atmosphere to it and stuff

thanks for uploading : )

[PnoyBoi4Ever]

remember....dont bust your ass on doing power....practice like 2-3 times a week like for 1 hour each....plus make sure your not soo tired when training....you wanna hav enough energy to practice (good) attmepts instead of 1000 bad attempts.....and if you injure yourself...STOP training for awhile even if u start sucking again, power takes months to learn and years to master sadly (-.-)

[JaysonCho1]

for flares i stretch alot lol

[gallantmonowns]

does anyone here get pissed when practicing powermoves but it doesnt look like what its supposed to be and get pissed and stop practicing?????

[JaysonCho1]

i dont get pissed like break a wall or sumthing but i stop praacitcing for a while..

[BboyBlondJr]

lol giggle*

[ti3ren]

bruce lee is lol

[JaysonCho1]

idk ive been practicing flares alot and sometimes only flares on days and i use to practice 6 hours .. but ahh its not helping i cant get good ones but i will say training only flares wont help you need some warmup exercises (handstand pushups etc..) and flex more on the leg that you have to kick high..

[bboyiya]

be sure to not stressing ur mind out,,

just be calm and fun

powermoves is a stressing moves,,

co u have to control ur mood when ure training this kind of moves,,

good technique and good body preparation would be good to train this moves

[BboydnL]

omg yeah. powermoves are frustrating.

they make me wanna blow a vein sometimes xP

[Inspired2Dance]

what can i do to physically improve on a flare? arm strengths, any thing to improve it

[ShadowGhostStrikes]

Thanks man this helped A LOT!

imma go practice this now!

=D
