4 weeks since this was uploaded and only has 402 views... That's unfair. I've not seen a video tutorial for breakdancing with this much thorough information. It's clear, it's concise and it's to the point. This is excellent presentation! You've done your due diligence and you have the experience, that's another thing I appreciate so I know you're a very credible source. The way this video is structured so neatly and ordered is very satisfying to watch and good for rewatching multiple times. This is level of quality that you don't see in more popular videos on the site. You're a stark example of hidden treasure because your videos are gems with barely any recognition. You don't have a commensurate amount of praise for the effort you placed in this video. I really respect that and the fact you've been uploading for well over a decade now still regardless. I'll be watching from here on out :) ...Much love
Thanks, some days I feel like its not worth doing this stuff, but I make the videos because there is probably some younger version of that would want this available. I had to learn it on my own and it sucked.
@@theBreakdancingNinja i started learning flares 10 years ago and the furthest i got was the 3rd rotation, not high enough at the back. i walked away from bboying for a few years and am just recently getting back into it. im definitely more analytical and interested in the scientific break-down of the physical movements within moves this time round. from the titles of your other videos, i thought u were just a gymnastic nerd. turns out you're an OG who's been doing this since the late 90s and this is the single best flare tutorial i've ever seen throughout the years
I am an old school Bboy and been breaking since 81. I even auditioned for the movie "Beat Street". Every year or so, I do some windmills just to see if I still can. I have always wanted to do Flares. Never knew how. I am now 57, and I was recently sick as a dog. I had a bout of Cholera. I have decided to get back in shape by way of breakin. And your videos are a source of relief for me. Thank you.
You're a true warrior, much respect. And thank you so much for your awesome videos and tutorials over the years. I've finally got a good windmill, and also learned a pretty good 1 leg swipe recently, so I've gained some power move confidence. I wasn't going to pursue flares, but with the help of your awesome video I think I will. I turned 40 just over a month ago. But with your smart training approach, I feel I can give it a good shot. Thanks again. Love your work, and all the best for life, breaking and training.
@@theBreakdancingNinja I am doing now strenght and flexibility (where I most strugle) exercises. I am beginner so I need to get Basics Done first to even try flare. But I also trying windmill to get use to that movement. Thanks to this video I know what to train. 👍
There are many decent flare tutorials on UA-cam but this is the best I've ever seen. Surprised to learn that flare machines are useful. I alway thought they were just a gimmick.
If you just started flare training, a flare machine won't help you. You still need strength and some idea of the technique. If you have some basics down a flare machine will save you lots of time. You can start double leg circle training on day one of flare training if you are athletic.
@@theBreakdancingNinja appreciate the response! I trained flare 12 year ago and used to be able to do multiple crappy ones. Now I'm picking it up again in my 30s. I spend most of my time conditioning and stretching, and only carefully throw a single flare from time to time in fear of injury (I have a weak wrist due to previous injuries). If the flare machine can help me practice the techniques with reduced risk of injury, then it's definitely appealing.
Keep it up man, you do great work here. Saw your website a while back for building different apparatuses. We're probably close to the same age too with similar influences. Love that Thomas kurz reference In there.
Good video man !!! Thank You I like it and I will try to do all You explican here. I'll be 57 in december and I want to do flares for my Birthday 🎉🎈🎊 😂 😛 😂

I am 73 and I want to learn this. I was a Drill Instructor in the US Army. One-arm pushups was my specialty. I will learn this. pray for me.

@@edlo8650 Thank you! I just try to make learning these moves easier since I teach alot of people I had to figure it out.
@@battlefocused5748 Just take it slow, go overboard on the conditioning.

The best video I found. Great step by step guide. Thanks mate!
Did your flares get better?

Wow really in depth. Will def watch this video before every flare session!
Did you get your flares? Its a long journey even with the right info.
Always spot on with the tutorials Keep it going... Definitely a good variety of solid tips and tricks
Thank you for the feedback. I try to make it easier for people to learn. Its hard enough even with the right info to do these moves.
Best tutorial
Thank you, backflip one is coming soon...
Very very helpful.thank you!

WOW you are skilled. Thumbs up from a fellow creator 😅

@@theBreakdancingNinja people can make own flare machine, i did mine. its just strong rope , hook and a strap/tire tube for waist
@@theBreakdancingNinja ur vid is very informative, no one has given this much detail

Thanks for the comment, lets me know I am on the right track and people use the info.
Good video man !!!
Thank You I like it and I will try to do all You explican here.
I'll be 57 in december and I want to do flares for my Birthday 🎉🎈🎊
😂 😛 😂
That will be tough, the goal should be slowly doing all the training to build strength so you dont get injured. But it is absolutely possible.
Awesome tutorial. Question for you, how do I get or make a flare machine?

I don’t know if you are still in Washington, but I did two of your classes when I was little and was wondering if you still teach
Still teaching in Kirkland and Everett. Hit me up. www.breakdancingninja.com
How can we make a flare machine plz make a video on that
You havent looked on the channel or my website, I show you how
imma get my ass up to the grind (i literally got no leg or hip mobility)
It takes grinding, the knowledge is usually the easy part.
I think ill master the handstand first
Always a good place to start and good foundation then see where your interest goes from there.
