Ok...where to start lol

@ BBoyIya - Thanks for props. my arms are usually straighter, but i was doing it on grass, i'll post a clip later when i'm practicing in the dance hall. about the hips, a large part of how you swing your upper body will determine your leg movements. if you swing your upper body aggresively (eg, you start at north, then you end at south) your legs will get aot of momentum (these look very "asian")

if upper body swing less, like the UK style ( the style i did earlier), the upper body swings more north to east or south east.

@A7 - supporting moves that will help with your learning airflares? i would say 90 pretty good to know, def flares. if you can do those with ease, you should be fine IMO. people who airflare and bend their
legs before they turn will kick out just before they turn. this helps with height, usually they start doing this in their 5 or 6 turn when they start lossing momentum. i do sometimes as well, it's called kick style.

hhmm... hehe... i saw on ur Putfile.com vid... that was a straight handed ones... hehe...

now i can do 1 airflare (i think this one is "asian" style)..
but.. when i land on my left hand.. my left leg is following straight touching the ground.. ikz.. i dont know why but.. now am trying to fix that..
its also happened on my forearm airflare.. uughhh..!! my left leg.. its can be just touching the ground or smacking the ground badly.. =(

After a bunch of unsucessful airflare, i think that airflare is simple, it combo of swing>spin>hop away!!, i think it is core of air flare, because air flare is alike to 90s but[AF=90s legs(active for af) + Swipe hands(passive for af)] .Anyone who have learned mills,also know that :a straight legs in no-hand-mills will let u flip to other side but in rotation motion.-----------> that is it all! (see bruse lee's af? swing a lot then hop away....)

[A7 BBOY]

plz say something if i was wrong........

[CleanFADER]

Yeah, i get what you saying A7, and that is the motion you are doing when airflaring. you must do it enough to get the nack of it and practice your form. it all gradually comes together as you learn more moves.

@Iya, yeah, the good 'ol leg touching the ground curse. the axis of your body will have to be straight up. the lower your axis, the higher the chances of you scrapping your legs. try kicking before the turn, this will help you keep your body and legs up after the rotation. you can stop kicking once you are more confident and get more height and speed.

did a7 is right?

the most important for me now is.. how to catch when your legs is in the air.. with 45 degrees body position and not to be falling.. iks.. =(

huaaa..!!!

hehe

[A7 BBOY]

I myself can fip to other side with clockwise airflare, but i cant catch it, like u,it force me to put my right hand quickly.I have seen other bboy that have the same mistake . Sothat, i think the problem just is the catching-hand, because when i go ccw, i CAN catch my airflare pretty good(> 45 degree),ofcause if i do it right at all. I practice all think first with my right side, so ,my right arm is affect by handstand a lot, but my left hand is different, i dont practice with it ,so whenever i go clockwise af ,i cant catch with my left hand. Do u think u have the same problem?(ofcause if u can fall to other side)
One more thing, my clockwise windmill make my airflare suck!

[A7 BBOY]

Say smt if this thing right again:" airflare, flare ,windmill, all of them must draw a PERFECT CIRCLE to gain full power and RIGHT motion "

[NATORAWK]

wow great guide. dont forget that if u get dioriented from rotating you can always foocus on the back of your hand as it goes over.

[A7 BBOY]

[paradox]

well spoken

[BboyRokku626]

Great guide, one quiestion tho. Wat are teh circumstances to make u fall wen u try to airflares? Cuz thats my only concern as im tryin to learn them.

i can hold handstand quite easy and when i try the transition in airflare i do a spin but my concious always bring me to my forearm.. im worried to like break my arm :S.. and then when i do this my legs automatically fall to the ground.. ne tips on what to focus on?
