Airflare Guide from Standing
**CCW**
aiight, for those of you who can start a 90 or a flare this part isnt needed but for those who want a refresher, here u go..
1)Stand up with legs shoulder width apart, now u want to step back with ur left foot. Your left leg should go back and to the side, farther then shoulder width, u want this far enough to be able to swing down but close enough to be comfortable
*For anyone who doesnt get that part, just step back with left foot and make it comfortable, aiight?
Now, this is similiar to a 90! And should be done at the SAME time during the move.
2) You want to swing down to the left side with ur right hand, it should be going to where ur left foot WAS. As you swing down, your left leg should be going up behind you and up. As if your going to be tryin to get into a handstand.(The simplest thing I can do is say watch someone do a 90)
*This should be done same time, u do not put ur hand down then kick, u swing down as u kick up in back of you.
3) As your right hand comes down and hits the floor, ur left leg should be up in the air behind you, NO WHERE NEAR a handstand but more of the back part of a flare
*That means its not high, it looks as if ur in the back of ur flare
4) Now a split second after ur right hand comes down ur left hand will mirror that, and i do mean a SPLIT second, if u wait to long ur going to twist up and not go anywhere
*So as ur right hand comes down, start bringing ur left hand down
5) as ur left hand comes down, ur right leg will start to kick up and swing in back of you. by the end of these 5 steps u should have had both hands swing down, right first then left, and have ur legs kick up and swing in back of you...by the end of the 5 steps ur legs will have gown higher step by step and be close to handstand but you want to be layed out and have it more of a 45 degree angle or a lil more, not a full handstand
*This means as u go thru the steps ur legs will swing in back of you and get higher, also as u get higher u will lay out and NOT be in a handstand, but more of the back of a flare.
****A BIG THING TO REMEMBER!!****
As u swing down you shouldnt be going straight up and down, u want to Lay out, so when u swing down REACH away from you, this forces u to lay out and not go up and down. Its a part flare, part 90 type deal!
Now that u are on ur hands ur legs should be in back of u and swinging...theres something I need to explain and its a lil wierd.
As ur on ur right hand, ur legs want to be swinging already, but as u come down on ur left and both ur legs are up, u should be swinging with legs and hips until u cant swing anymore, and THATS when u jump
6) when ur on ur left hand, u should have swung until u cant anymore.
*YOU need to do this as a wind up, otherwise ur gonna have a harder time
7) As u get to that point u want to do a slight hop with ur left hand and catch with ur right, this is how u do it and some things to remember!
Remember an airflare is NOT a 360, it is a 180 and its a small hop. Watch ruens airflares, mad clean and good to learn from.
The hop, pretend ur wiping sweat away from ur face with ur left hand because ur left arm should swing over ur head.
Remember ur swinging during this, it may sound wierd to just hop from hand to hand but u should be swinging out like a 90/flare and that causes u to hop anyway
do NOT push off with both hands, and do NOT bring both hands at once, and do NOT go to ur side
u go over ur hea,d one hand then the other!
Keep your hips up!!, its ur job to make sure ur legs and hips dont get lazy!!
8) as u hop, turn ur head so u can see the floor, dont rush it, it should be smooth.
9) as u land on ur right hand, keep ur hips and legs up, that is YOUR JOB!!!
10) now bring ur left hand down, now bring ur feet down. Congrats you just did one airflare
***Key Points***
Do not PM me or message or post a thread saying you didnt land to windmill, flare, or another airflare. You MUST learn the basics before you do something else, that means learning to land on hands, pause and then bring feet down. When u can do that, start linking them, and heres a lil fact...if u can do this to a perfect airflare and land on ur hands then feet, just KEEP ur legs up and ull be fine to go into windmill, its just like dropping from 90,flare or even jumping into it.
Remember to be swinging damnit, dont just go into a handstand and push! it wont work!
ur legs will swing behind u then in front, they will TWIST and kick, all of that comes from the initial swing while ur on ur hands.
It is possible to airflare without the kick/swing but its harder and not as good looking.
If you want a nice clip, find my boy luke on here. He has a good one to learn, its amazingly clean
Your not straight up and down, ur more of a 45* or a lil more
yes i may have insulted someones intellegence but someone told me to do a guide and do a lamen one at same time.
heres ur airflare guide, let me know if u like it
Aight... for everyone askin about Airflares, here's the guide back up lol.
