@Mohamed Alzikrayeah now I see why he doesn't break: flat handed, crazy arms, touching the floor with his heels 🤣🤣

​@@noahoraporfavor2432 The 6-step technique you see in this video is because it's a FLARE tutorial and it is being used as a method to help understand the flare technique (as explained in the voice-over). I'd like people to use flat hands as not to break their thumbs :) This is not a footwork tutorial.

simon over here being a tsundere

did u achieve it?

@@treatmelikewhitetees1 not even close. I did learn how to muscle up and backflip, but due to work and injuries I barely improved. That said, I am not giving up, I'm 26 now, healing from a severe ankle sprain, my job finally allows me to work out well, so the moment I heal up I'm going to try it again. If I wait any longer I don't think I'll ever achieve it, but I think I have a chance still! Will update in a few years!

@@alfonsoparrado3112 i hope u improve sir im currently 14 years old doing calisthenics for 4 months i have strength i can do 90 degree handstand push up, v sit and more, after i reach 1 year ill try to learn flare so i can have base strength when doing it

@@treatmelikewhitetees1 well you can literally achieve anything you want with that age and with your current strength it shouldn't even be hard hahaha I'd recommend though, be smart about it, don't get injured, and try to get the splits, good cardio and basically be a full around athlete, like gymnasts or Simonster are

@@alfonsoparrado3112 i will thank you for the advice sir

Don't worry you'll get there bro

So what's with that profile pic lol

On the pommelhorse

i know im a year late but did you find out a better way of catching yourself during the flare? because im struggling with that too.

Yes, it was due to a weak shoulder position, and a forarm injury I had sustained, had to fix the injury or take care and not over stress it and work on strengthening the position of the shoulder, dips / exercises using pressing down motions similar to flare. try elevating your legs like a flar position and swap hands for sets to build up some strength. also the position of the but is important, if its too high you will have a large gap before your hand can reach the floor resulting in it slapping or injury. so keep your butt low. @@peteplayz6822

keep practsing. it takes a long time to get down.

You need to stretch and do so as if you want to do the splits.

lol are you shitting me...you learnt to do a windmilll and swipes but not a 6 step...its a peace of piss in comparison to any powermove. you can learn a 8 step in a day unlike windmills and swipes.

@@djam7484 like I said.. the instructions on the internet back then were so freaking crap probably because internet couldn’t handle high res video back then … maybe I was able to do it but I didn’t have a clue if it was doing it right or not haha

Watch with subtitles on.

@@maxlee2340 it does not have, but grace for telling me

No. It’s not. I’m 44 and I have been talked in to going back in to Breakin so I can teach my 9 year old nephew. If this is your first time learning you will be fine. It’s much harder when you have done it and than been out for over a near 20 years. I started originally in 1992 and was in it til 1997. When I stopped that’s when the air flare started to be a new thing. I was 17 years old when I quit. I’m 44 now. I can do most of it but it’s really tough being 250 pounds. I was only a buck fifty when I mastered all of it. The most flares I did in my younger years was nearly 50 flares. I had total control when doing them. I could do them in one spot without moving around, I also controlled speed and do them really slow, fast. I could do them from the floor out of a ground shuffle and do them like Simon is doing them. To a beginner I would say to get use to stretching. The groin area and the hamstring the entire leg. Both you should stretch a lot to get those legs and keeping them spread. Basically stretch and work as if you’re trying to achieve the splits. A little lifting and curling with the arms will also serve you well. My trouble rigth now at 44 is muscle memory along with. Lack of working out and muscle loss. You see as a beginner I will tell you the kick will need to be a good. A good leg whip will give you the gas to perform 1 flare. Once you have learned to flare the kick no longer has to be a hard kick. Because naturally you will see that momentum, balance, hand placement are key. I would advise you to go for a good posture first. And if you are a first timer. Get yourself linoleum and get a good 10x10 because you will be all I ever the place Learning. And either put some carpet underneath the linoleum if you don’t got carpet than outside on the grass is fine. You will get beat up a bit that’s why this is absolutely necessary
