[primeminister]

hey... where do you look when you airflare? do you look at ur leg or hands? i'm confused.. please help...

Tq

[Anubis2002]

u wanna look to the other side of the floor....so u can watch ur hand catch

[primeminister]

do you look at ur legs then? i mean in the mid air.. when my face faces the sky

[Anubis2002]

i wouldnt, but i suppose u could

id follow ur hand if anything

Like anubis says, rotating your head quickly to the other side to see where you are landing is the best possible place to look. The rotation of your body is way too fast to track your feet, or maybe your hand for that matter. just try to look towards the floor again as soon as possible

i c.. i heard one of my friends who knows airflare.. he said the not kicking leg must be parallel to the catching hand. is it true?

[Anubis2002]

i dont think trying to watch either is smart....like he just said, ur turn is so damn fast... but turning to look at the floor is intelligent lol.

n no, thats notg true. do u have any idea how many variations of a regular airflare people do that DONT have that? let alone all the variations that arent regular.

[BBoy C L I B O]

At the end of the day, small things like that don't really matter, if my leg is parrallel, if i'm looking at my leg, if my eye brow is perpendicular to my left kidney...

The main thing is momentum, keeping your height and catching yourself. there are many variations to many moves, including this one. people do what is comfortable for them, and sometimes, they think that that is the way it should be done. Find what is comfortable for you, the "tweaks" and adjustments that make you get the best possilbe result, time after time. if it brings you closer to the above three requirements, then you WILL get airflares down. the guide is just here to get you startd, practicing and getting comfortable with your body is the key to success.

Sorry, no spam intended, but anubis, you got 100X more posts than me, holy whack!!!

[primeminister]

i see. how long does it take to learn airflares?

[BBoy C L I B O]

I started learning them in my 4th year of dancing, i got them in 2 months. I've been bboying for 7 years.

P.S. I got 90's and flares down 'fore I started Airflaring

[primeminister]

ohhh.. i've 90's and flares... i'm learning airflares now... i hav a problem, my non kicking leg bangs the floor after i swing my leg up..

[BBoy C L I B O]

try delaying your swing down by keeping your non kicking leg vertical, so that way, you can get more down swing and keep some of your air. dunno if it makes sense. try reading the 3rd section of theguide

[primeminister]

does it mean i hav to keep my non kicking leg up after i kick..? Is tht what u mean?
