ive been bboying about 1.5 years and i like my style and everything i do, but the one thing i cant help is my flares. Im pretty consistent and i can connect about 6 and go to mills, but they are gymnastics looking flares.

ive tried hard to make them look more bboyish, but nothing has worked. Now im thinking, fuck it, my flares are my flares.

i would like some feedback on what you think when/if u see a bboy doing gymnastics flares. props? doesnt make a difference? tsktsk? boo?

gymnastic flares look sik. what don't you like about them

[azndannyxd]

gymnast flares look better imo. just a little more slower and controlled, but good form.

ehh..I don't really like gymnast flares. Too low for my tastes. Try pulling with your hips more to get more height and swinging more vertical.

I love gymnastic flares. Wish I could do them. Shit, wish I could do normal flares. Anyway, just keep practicing, you'll get it.

Just get more sloppy, then you got bboy flares.

lol, /\

i like bboy flares better, seem to have more 'character' to em.

but flares are flares, and if you can connect em to other power moves, then thats good as anything

I think you should do both, and master both as they were different so you don't do some weird crazy shit of flare that can get someone killed. :P

I think that maybe you should stretch your legs in the V legged position so you can spread the legs like in a common flare your legs should be. IF that's the problem. If not, just go with those flares and keep practicing the common ones until you say "Shit, that's how it was done!" and you can do both.

BTW i think gymnastics flares are dope.

lol like what you said your flares are your flares
if you want bboy flares just make them kinda sloppy
