Wow! I really need to master sweeping because flares requires two sweep each time, and windmills.

I guess practice will eventually fix my habits.

Thanks everyone for helping again.

When you're sore after flare practice, rest and take time to heal. That's why you're doing it, to get sore. That means your muscles are breaking down and building up more powerful.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

You're starting to get it now.
Oh yeah, when you believed you got one flare. That was your bad habit coming back of swinging too high. So you went backwards.

Great you completed one flare!~ For the second one, all you need to do is keep that left leg in the air as long as possible. Keep your hips up and swing your right leg like you did with the first rotation. Then everything is like the first flare, where you sweep your left leg to the left and swing it up. Basically, for continuous flares, keep your hips up.

I finally decided to go w/ a bboy name that better suits me. Bboy Shadow Vigilante . I chose this because "vigilante", i have a vigilante attitude, and "shadow", i kinda like dark themes...but not too dark to be emo =]

If you have questions, you can aim me, its Dark Iljimae (Im sometimes on =])

Or if you're more formal, you can pm me here or email me at Shadowvigilante@live.com ... sry if its a little long

oh yeah, the flare I thought I completed was pretty high. I guess I just have to experiment with my flares. Thanks all.

Congratz bro

get a lil more height in the front will help get height in the back

when you are going around to the back part of your flare or when you plant your right hand down. lock your right elbow, keep it straight and put all your weight on it by leaning on it. then pick your ass up in the back and BAM more height in the back.

you seem to learn pretty quickly

keep up the good work

I've noticed that keeping your hands in close to your body, might help you swing faster. It kinda makes it easier to transfer your weight. It might help, maybe.

i agree with crazy, you're just jumping into it too much, see how your leg jumps instead of kicks? try not jumping, and just sweeping. jumping will eventually lead you down, so therefore you can't gain back the height. just sweep. good luck!
