hey i can get like 8 of those but i got a problem the back of it is low and nasty. the first 3 are really good in the back like its pretty high and straight but after that the back of it just starts to get low and nasty.... any tips?
and one more question, when going to flare to 1990 i lean hard on my right arm but my body wont go up why is that? i go ccw
please, anyone have any tips?
thanx

to try keep the move steady speed maybe u might wanna make shur ur timing is the same as the furst few or it cud be ur leg formation... almost everythin depends on ur legs fer power moves... well i dunno im not a big flare/flare variation guy...i get tired after 2 of them hahaha....

first off, u only need about 3 good flares anyway, more than 3 gets boring..but of course, having good control of a move is important so you have a point. The trick to lots of continous flares is good planches, period. If you can hold a planche comfortable for 5-10 seconds then ur sorted. Also work on holding the front of the flare position (back support).

Some breakers overcome the problem you described above by 'czeching' their flares, this means, instead of always facing the same wall, they rotate in the opposite direction their flaring in 90 degree intervals. I have only ONCE seen a non-gymnast bust 5 flares facing the same way, everyone czechs after that.

In order to perform a good flare to 90, first of make sure you can hold a planche 2 seconds then pop-up to a handstand, practice this DAILY. Also, the kick for flare to 90 is different, instead of out and around, you kick straight up (or if u flare like me it's all upper body)

Another good exercise to perfecting flares is holding a planche, then trying to flank to the back support again, hold that, flank to planche and so on..when done well, it looks like a super-slow flare that would impress even as a solo move.

Hope this helps, but you can get quick results by trying the czeching trick i described, tell me how it goes..

anubis knows more on this subject but if ur going ccw when you kick left leg upto face, instead of driving right leg 'out and around' low to the ground, you try to modify it so it kicks up behind you.

If u can do an elbow 90 (not that hard) you could try flare>elbow 90, these are easier to get into because u collapse ur arm therefore don't have to lift as much. Also it helps with the feel of the motion as flare>90 is very similar.
