Anybody know how to go from a flare to a 90? I'm jus curious, that looks like a mad ass combo and I've only seen it done once. Let me know, what's really good?

flare to 90...

You must first have really good flares...of course. It needs to be really nice and solid first.
When comming back around to your 2nd flare (ccw), whip your left leg in, place your left hand on the ground, arc your body and push up with your hand.

It's really hard to describe the motion, and step by step, but try it. Hope it helps. I'm sure everyone else has their own way of doing it...good luck!

almost forget, you need really good momemtum.

yeh i can do'em tho i can only ,make 1 90 so it pretty much suk cause i need more 90s

when u wanna transfer up to a 90, the flare is different...u kick hard to the side, whichever way ur going,(ccw u kick hard n up to the left) its hard to continue flares if u switch them right, but u end up REALLY high n u start to push up. by the time ur legs come in back u should technically be already up into a 90, but id try walking it with ur hands first...like take a few steps, dont try n do it in one lump sum

Can some1 plz post up a vid?

[Bboy_Shindo]

If i had a vid to post I would, I will for sure when I get one. That is a sick ass combo though. It's hard to swing to the 90 after the flare cause I have too much momentum and not enough balance when I try to hit them

[weyden]

hehe soundz like a mad combo, imma try it when i get my flares good

[Bboy_Shindo]

Ok all, if you want to see a good example of this combo move then pick up the UK BBoy Battle Competitions movie, I'm telling yall that this movie has that combo performed at least seven times. It's sick as hell, if I can get a vid sample from it I'll post it.

yeah, flares to 90 is a really nice combo. Actually, any combo linking to a 90 looks good

i personally think, for me atleast, that the flare to airflare THEN 2000 combo is alot easier, and much more spectacular, after you finish the flare both your hands should be on the floor and your body facing down(but you should be still ABOUT to go into the next rotation), you gotta twist your hips a bit and try to level yourself off by whipping your legs UPWARD, if you keep the momentum from the airflare rotation, you'll go right into the 2000 rotation...or is that too advanced for here?

edit: dont know if i need do, but it'll probably help talking about the flare>airflare transition:

you CAN do a couple flares for momentum if you want, just think of how you do your flare(ccw), when you're face down(legs behind you) just as your left leg is rotating around under your right leg, prepare to turn your hips and upper torso and place your left hand on your RIGHT side, instead of putting your left hand down on your left side when linking to another flare, do this WHILE your right leg is going under your left, which will naturally turn your upper body toward the right. your legs will follow with the rotation of your body and your whole body should be face down with both hands down(justl like in the 2000 link) try to remember to keep your legs HIGH up behind you, let your whole body turn together and let off your right hand and pull it ALL the way over to the right and try to catch the floor...with your elbow EXTENDED, your arm completely straight, which would make it impossible to touch your back, but helps with your turning motion...now with the left hand...you'll want to not only push up and off with it, but you'll want to rotate your hips and legs in the direction of the rotation all this has to be done at the SAME time and BEFORE your right hand reaches the floor, i find it easier to touch your head to the floor to help with balance for a second and to help you get your legs AS HIGH as possible just before the big rotation and to let your elbow contract just before it extends to push you off....so you push off with your left, and catch the floor with your right(which is pulling your upper body in the direction of the rotation), once your right touches the floor, pull your left hand to the floor and hold yourself up(wont be for long as you'll continue to rotate) just use that to help you keep your legs high. if you think about it, the airflare is ONLY a flare with your legs just ALOT higher and and your upper torso alot lower down with your whole body rotating instead of just your legs doing most of the rotation.

jesus christ i didnt plan on making a fuckin guide for this shit :\ its probably incoherent as hell anyway

Eagle from expression does tons of flares to 90's i'll post up some links to some clips so u can watch em'

[B_elements]

my lilo bro can bust flares to 90 consistently, but not flare to airflare. He almost has it, but the landing still throws him off. He's actually doing flare to 90 and back to flares now. Me, however, am drifting towards the style side, but still flowing along with the power moves to. My lilo bro and I are like side by side.

[Bboy_Shindo]

Yes it is a very nice combo. And a flare to airflare (or reversed) into a 2000 is even more nice. My airflares aren't so great but that's an idea I should try and work with, thanks.

speaking of eagle from expression...here's a clip I cut out of the expression video a few days ago to show someone which I can use here I guess..
