when u kick ur left leg,ur right leg need not be kicked.it will go up naturally due to momentum.i get wad u mean.u fall bcos of not enuff momentum,which means u gotta train more.if ur hips hurt then rest.too much hard work will hurt ya.Pz

also remember to make the rotation smooth kinda like swingin' not lettin yoself go fast cause ur gonna fall,elevate yo hips

flares r quite easy to understand but they need a lotta practice

in the front you don't need to go high at all...okay, it's biting me in the ass now because i'm too high in the front so i'm not getting enough height in the back to keep going or combo it to ANYTHING...not even down to a handglide...and not flaremill either (my mills suck but still)

you need to keep your arms really close or your not going to be able to shift weight going to the back or you'll collapse your arms...you need to have straight arms for height purposes and not falling. keep the left leg low so you don't fall on your ass.

i don't have perfect flares at all, can't get to the back cleanly, but that should help anyway..

okay when i said elevate yo hips i meant juss to elevate em in a moderated way, not to brin yo feet to the ceilin

u need to find an aproppiate height to make the flares, u need to be in the same height in the front part n in the back part of the flare, cause if u make the front part higher then the back part ull end up fallin...
