I used to breakdance in middle school and high school. I could even do flares, windmills, and airflares. Then I started to party too much, work all the time, and had kids young. My kids didnt believe I was decent at breaking back in the day so I had to show them what was up! Since I'm 34 now and slightly out of shape, I now have a sprained wrist and a pulled groin muscle.......... They still dont believe I was a bboy and laughed hysterically when I got hurt. Maybe I cant break anymore but at least I can still ground my kids 😄👍
"Maybe I can't break back anymore", Nah man you aren't that old yet, you're probably just rusty, don't get discouraged and ground your kids if they laugh
There's a 40 yo bboy here on YT that still has clean flares. He even had an injury before that he recovered. I just don't remember the name unfortunately...
Peace brother! I am 57, and I am an original Bboy from Brooklyn. You just started back too fast. Start again, this time review each move one by one. These young cats got the details down. Originally We learned by watching and doing. Nowadays, I am watching, listening, relearning learning from these young cats. And I am back to enjoying the freedom of flight.
this is a great explanation. I went through all those steps and can verify that this is totally the way to go. Just keep at it and try to force your way through. Even if you feet touch the ground just keep pushing forcibly, your brain will figure it out eventually while at the same time body will get stronger
Hi folks I'm probably the most unusual 55 year old around town, I have very fit body and perform as a part time pro dancer and stripper, I look 10 years younger than my age however. Ive been trying to catch the flares for years unsuccessfully until a few days ago. The mistake I was making that is hardly mentioned is; I used to swing my hips too low and short, I stopped @ 5 to 4 o clock but once I filmed myself I saw the error. Now I complete my swing @ 2 -1 o'clock and I swing higher with more power completing 3 rounds easily. I still need to clean it up but I can now go around. So anyone learning the flares take note of where your hips completes the swing, remember 2-1 o clock or 10 -11 o'clock
I remember trying to learn this when I was younger and fell on my chest and face .-. Now that I’m stronger I’m definitely going to try to get this again lol
Theodorul I don’t want to be rude but this is how to flare with asmr sorry but I was dying to point it out I don’t want to be mean I don’t know why I type so much I just do anyway who is going to try to flare ASAP?
Today I decided to practice flares on the floor. Just went round in circles with legs on the ground. I've now mastered opposite leg opposite arm and shoulder mobility is a prerequisite. Currently working on L sit , Seated saddle and splits for additional flexibility. I hope to do clean high flares in a year's time. God willing 🙏🏿👍🏿🇰🇪
@@j.e1806 I used to think things like this might have had a studied origin, but from experience I’ve seen the reverse. People tend to figure out this stuff by just doing a similar skill and then by simply feeling it out. Then after it’s figured out people tend to go back and study how it works. This is exactly what happened with skateboard tricks. People weren’t thinking about torque or moments, they just felt it. (The only exception to this is the “impossible”, but that’s a more recent skateboard trick)
Karson Mateo man i started like 4 years ago and quit after a few months because i injured my forearm. It has recovered after a few months but i never got back to trying again. Now i want to.
Props Bruh. This was no joke the best instruction vid on flares ive eber seen and I'm 35 and started when I was 13 so seem my share. You include details and practices that correctly and clearly. Great job bboy teach
ive been breakdancing for 9 years a very good way to get rid of anxiety and also learn insane moves btw be carefull while learning i was learning a way different flare called airflare look it up if u dont know what it is and i twisted my arm in the opposite dirrection at a championship this year ive masterd it so good luck to everyone :D
Hey bro you rock! Very professional, through, and you give self-confidence. A real Pro and a Natural teacher. Thanks I am going to have to give it a try.
If you could do a tutorial just like this one with slow motion and step by step for the windmill that would be perfect!! Oh and thank you for this flare tutorial!!
I've wanted to learn how to do flares for a while. I've still got a lot of gym progress to make before I can do this but I will be regularly revisiting this video Edit: I still can't EVEN DO THE INITIAL LAUNCH
i want to thank you for this video. for almot a year now i have been wondering what i was doing wrong, and now with your excellent teaching and decribing i know what went wrong.
Really nice and high flares there in my humble opinion!! :-) I´m getting there slowly but have the feeling that I´m doing it right by looking at your explanation. Cheers! :-) Asier.
Got really bored while studying and saw a video of someone doing this dance move and it looked so cool. I'm not sporty at all, and I don't know really where to start tbh, but I really want to learn this move someday:) so I'll have to train general strength first haha, because the first step is I need to be able to support my weight on my arms😂 and super cool video and tutorial, really made me want to learn as well:D!
Took me along time to get this down along with the coin toss. Most clean t-flares I was able to max out was 10 without a set. First rule I learned going into breaking was learning how to walk on my hands. Good times!!
MiSter_JaNn your probably not using your legs as much for momentum. If your just letting them hang than begin to use them besides when kicking from a stab
Just a trainer advice, if you learn how to do it, IT'S A GREAT EXERCISE! It works on all of your body, specially on your legs, abdominals and torso (and ofc your biceps)

I haven’t breakdance since high school. My favorite moves was flares into windmill best combination.
I’m going to dislocate my shoulder doing this pmao
How tf would that happen
This is why you need a decent amount of upper body strength before doing this
Thats what i was thi king
I still can't. I've tried so hard

The pros always make stuff look easy. What you seldom get to see is how many times they messed up before getting to that point of near perfection.

Great instructions on how to breakdance,!!!!
Great video as usual bro. I can actually do basic bboy moves but never tried a flare. Thanks for the turtorial man!!

Thx pigmie for this tutorial!!I hope you can make a tutorial like this for headspins as well as I have trouble with learning the glide:(
I’m not learning from anyone but you breh! Your tutorials are awesome. I can dance but I need that edge to get my game on point
I’m not even joking I got on the floor to try this and tried to pick myself up and all that did was pull a muscle. *great*

Can you pls make another windmill tutorial.I am doing like 4 or 5 windmills and i just can't do more.
MiSter_JaNn just keep practicing fam, I had that problem with mills also, you just need like 3 more months to feel comfortable doing it
MiSter_JaNn your probably not using your legs as much for momentum. If your just letting them hang than begin to use them besides when kicking from a stab
