Sup, I didn't see and guides for UFO so I thought I'd do a short one with a few tips for more advanced breakers that might like to learn it. These tips and stuff come straight from Kujo himself btw. UFO's really can be done with legs open wide, or closed straight since basically they are both the same type of float.

1st, your going to need prerequisits to get this move down, so u should be able to turtle, flare well enuf, and have started working on planche.

Even though UFO's require alot of strength to keep them going, learning the movements and techniques can help u to get them much faster than you normally would.

1st, work on planches as much as you can by kneeling down, putting your hands at your sides, cross your legs at the ankles, and pick your body off the ground with both arms. Attempt to extend your legs uncrossed straight out in back of you, or into an V. Bascially planche. Try crossing your legs and pulling them through to the front and extending until your legs are straight, try to get them up towards your face as well. This will really strengthen your abs and arms. Then cross em again, pull em back through and extend, pull em forward through and extend as much as possible, and so forth. This strength exercise should be done often.

2nd, work your hand placements with turtle over again, this time walking it through with your arms straight out in the UFO position, legs out straight, but feet touching. Go through those UFO movements so much u get sick of it. lol. You'll begin to see how u have to swing your arms around and body following.

3rd, now realize, in order to keep this move going, its going to be alot of thinking ahead of yourself. The way you keep your body moving and keep off the ground is by doing the steps you learn ahead of what your body does, so you can catch and push through before you touch down.

1st way to work UFO's: Start in turtle position, and begin turtling. U should have no problem rotating forever if you know turtles well, so gain some speed. U want to be looking out, not down, Kujo keeps tellin me its really important, lol. Then when you have enuf control and speed, your basically just going to attempt to push up into straight armed turtles, while extending your legs in the back into a straight, or slightly curled V shape,and locking them. I've found u really have pull hard into it when u push up, much like doing a flare from turtle, which BTW, you should practice as well cause it really helps. U'll begin to get it further and further each couple of days while your body and u begin to catch on.

2nd way to work em is start from standing position and work buddhas. If ya dont know what buddhas are, they look like UFO's with legs tucked in, rotating fast in a small circle using both hands. Buddhas will give you that circular movement, although they are tough moves themselves. Try also doing flares to UFOs, or flare to buddha by entering your first or second flare's backside by turning into that turtle/UFO turning movement. U have to have flares well to do that one though.

Oh also, if you have use of a "mushroom" gymnast thing, that can help u out too. And if you have circles on the floor it definitely helps you out.

3rd way to work em, is just to start straight armed UFO's or buddhas from kneeling or footwork and use those other exercises of walking the UFO to help you out. I got maybe 1 crappy fast rotation the 1st time I tried it, so dont get bummed out, this move is definitely one of the hardest.

And lastly, think ahead, move ahead. In order to keep your body from falling, u NEED to move ahead of it. This naturally happens while you do any powermove, because your body has gotten used to your arm moving here, your leg swinging there, ya know, but on this move, concentrating on those steps are essential. I have yet to find a more complicated thinking move. lol.

Get your arm around ahead of you while your rotating to catch that balance and strength point of the UFO before you reach that point, and keep those legs locked hard from touching the ground. The hardest is hand placements to balance your movements so work on placements to keep yourself going. Its just too damn hard to say where u place your hands without showing someone next to them, so experiment, and you'll start to catch on.

Careful also your wrists turning, cause much like jackhammer and turtles u need to pick your wrist up before you move too far over it and twist it. UFO's are extremely hard, but planches can get them accelerated so you learn it very fast. Flares are the same kind of strength so having them will help you too.

Well, thats it, I'll try to ask Kujo for a few more little tips I might have missed, or just ask any questions you have or problems you have with it and I'll do my best to help. Peace out ya'll, and LEARN THOSE FETCHING UFO'S!!!

A few new tips are to try tapping with one foot and keep going through the motions so your body adapts to moving like that. Usually if you go CCW you'll tap with your right foot to go into it again. Although this may mess up your next rotation, its like stop and gos.

Also, what you do with your butt is important. lol. I would suggest if you dont have your back of your flares high to work UFO's with your body straight, or slightly bent under more like your dragging, using your legs and feet apart in a straight or slightly curled V. If you got those flares down pat, work the UFO's legs and feet together or open, and pull that butt out a little like your piking in the back of your flare. This give the planche your in better form and makes the UFO look very nice.

Oh, and like the planche, your going to have to lean over your arms more to balance your weight out, unlike Kujo that has such a short body he doesnt even need to do that. lol. The lean will keep you balanced however, but dont hit your face.

yo this is such a sweet guide, thanks drizzt.
damn, my ufo's coming along nicely.
-word

no prob, I wish I saw them more, so everyone eat em up, I wanna see combos with em! lol. Sure as hell I be doin em. Peace.

[soviet]

Drizzt have you seen anybody pull UFO to invert? Just curious cuz it sounds dope...

alright Drizz, I can't get to the back of a flare or do good turtles, I've gotten a full bhudda spin before though, but I was wondering other than pushing from a handglide, how do you keep your spins going? I just run out of momentum and stop..I've got my hands crossed like a 2000 btw...

nah, dont know of anyone, that would be very tough to do, especially because its going from the UFO to a 1990 position and over to invert, it would be dope though, I bet someone has done it, but sounds dope to me.

[Bboy Agile]

oh shyt drizzt...u know kujo!!!....tyte...oh n by tha way..nice guide

lol, Kujo knows a TON of people, and Im sure he ALWAYS gives help on ufos and planche to ppl. lol. It must bug being a famous pro bboy all the time. Anyways ya, he gave me a ton of tips and help with my planche and ufos, so Im just passin the biz along. Peace!

yeah back in the bboy.com days I used to speak to Kujo all the time, he was just like a normal member, I even had a talk with him whether or not elbowglide turtles were possible and other silly shit like that lol

[Bboy Agile]

oh aight thats koo...im glad i learned sumthin new

lol, thats dope. I think I remember about a year ago talking to him online before I saw him in person. That man is amazing, and he doesn't ever brag or boast about his moves. Hes an all around good guy. He just needs a woman. lol

[zapzi]

Is anybody can post a vid shows the movement of UFO's?Thanx a lot....and sori for trouble...

[President]

Is this what you want? even if it isn't, it's still hella crazy. good shit.

[SLaY]

Well, the only man I saw doing such ufos you are discribing is kujo on freestyle session 3. I meen body in planche and moving as turles. Most of people do that you call buddahs, sometime they streighten their legs but they move their hand like crickets, not turtles, and they're doing it really fast. I've got whose buddahs about 2 weeks ago, before it I could only do 1-2 rounds, and that day I just tried to do it and I did about 7-8 rounds, that was awesome, but I'm doing it diffrent, because my left arm is very weak, it's like I'm jumping on my right hand and suporting it with the left. Anyway, if you're learning it for 6 months and can only do 1-2 rounds don't worry about it, just practice and one day you'll do it dope and everyone around you wil stand with their mouths open =D

P.S. sorry for bad english
