Written Halo Guide with Video to Come -

Okay im going to start off with a warning. With most of my guides it usually forgets a lot of things that people find normal for them to do a move. So im going to just put this out there. With every move i have ever learned. I had to learn several things that just flicked the switch for me and enabled me to do the move.
So before anyone says anything bad about the guide just realize that fact.
This also goes for anyone trying to learn the move. Dont just look at my guide; Read my guide try a halo and then if you dont get it read another guide then try it again.
yay colors
Halo:
Okay i'll start off by explaining what a halo is
When i first started breakin i wasnt able to tell the difference between a headspin in a halo because some people halo so high its hard to tell. Well after i learned how to halo i realized it. Imagine a halo above your head like as if you were an angel. Now imagine you spinning on that halo as if the halo was attached to your head. Thats a halo.
Alright now for my prerequisites for the halo:
Headspin:
(notice i do not require more than one spin) But what i do want you to be able to do is throw your headspin. as if no taps no headstand then spin just want you to be able to spin just as your head touches your ground. because you have to get use to throwing yourself.
Windmill:
I dont think you really need to be able to windmill before learning this move. But i cant really see why youd want to learn it before hand because otherwise you have no idea how this power move should feel.
Swipes:
Everyone should know how to swipe. I dont care who you are or what kind of power move guy you are you need swipes. All power is most powerful when powered by the hips and swipes help that in the biggest way.
Okay now onto the move:
1. Im going to start you off from handglide position, although i dont see it as the easiest way to learn the move but for right now just bear with me. Step1 Handglide position
2. Spin it and roll backwards. Now this direction may seem a bit confusing. Imagine going into a chair freeze but not letting your legs touch the ground. And ofcourse keeping the power format. Legs spread out in V position.
Step 2 Spin and roll!
3. Timing people timing! This is where most people give up. This is where you gotta push and let yourself go. But it never works if you dont time it right. So lucky for you i evesdropped on the right asian man in philly.
While you are rolling off of your handglide or stab or whatever you are going to push when your legs and your stabbed hand line up. What is if your left hand is stabbed your left elbow will be pointing at your right knee. This is when you push with your stabbed hand.
Step 3 Wakeup bitch its pushing time!
4. Wait up! this is where my little swipes and hips thing comes in handy. I had trouble at this part because i was relying on my arms to get my swipe to the other side. But your gotta concentrate on your hips creating momentum while you push. So essentially i want you to push and hump.
Step 4 "It's all in the hips yeah"
5. Ahhh your flying! No your not because we are doing halos and you havent gotten on your first try. and i doubt your reading this while upside down, spinning, and smashing your ass on the floor. But in a sense you should be spinning. Now all power moves have this essential thing. Everything needs to be done in unison. When you learn windmills you have a ton of things moving at once and they are memorized through muscle memory. So right after you have pushed and humped you are swinging your free hand to catch you. And you cant just let it sit there you gotta keep in handy for just after you push and hump. but just in time. but when you swing that hand it will give just enough momentum to catch you on the other side.
Step 5 Catch yourself with your free hand.... or start airflaring off of your shoulders but do something goddamnit!
also be sure not to swing your hand out way far out. keep your hand close to your head when it is catching you.
6. Youve landed it... i hope. If not practice. Believe it or not it took me 3 days to really learn this move. But most of it was from waking up early in the morning and practicing it.
Now im going to try to make a video for this just creating a visual explanation of what i just wrote. Because i hate these plain written guides as much as you guys do.
NICEEE I WAS JUST THINKING OF LEARNING HALOS...LoLOLOLOL
03. We are anonymous.
04. Anonymous is legion.
05. Anonymous never forgives.
06. Anonymous can be a horrible, senseless, uncaring monster.
07. Anonymous is still able to deliver.
i dont like doing it that way just cause it makes it harder to learn when you really gotta concentrate on coming out of that baby even when its natural on both sides. i learned it from up top to be honest and coming down.
waiting for the vid..........good guide......and for the guy who didn't think it was like an airflare........halos are also called tracks........air tracks are also tracks lol........they share similar characteristics........if u can halo well........u can start attempting airflares provided u fulfill the conditions lol......
