Hello sir.. Just a tip of advice. Ur airflare is too high esp. when u start. So most of the time ur just relying on a pike hop. Try to lower both legs a little when both hands are in the floor like a high planche (your butt must be the highest in that position) and SWING ur left leg under until it comes up to pike.. It helps the momentum. Try to watch also different variations and techniques of airflare. Hope it can help you😊🙏. Happy new year

[@BreakdancingMiracle]

I got up to five flares this year - up from one for two years. I’m 48. I’m trying air flares as well.

[@djam7484]

iv been trying elbowairflare on and off for the past 9 or so years. iv been at it solid this year and still cant catch one of these fuckers...i see so many people on here that can do these moves efortlessly or ther evelution of airflare..and they all get it quick.. i feel like im in the minority being so slow and stuck for so long on things. its highly depresing

[@Paul180]

48! That's amazing man. Keep it up!

[@sometimesidontunderstand0029]

Inspirational Im 26 I had one air flare when I was 16 now im getting back into it because it’s calling me thank you for sharing

[@alphafamily6235]

Congratulations vincanity actually im motivated by video thank you

[@21Bullet]

I remember watching your swipe and toprock tutorials 10 years ago haha. It is good to see you still breaking. I am sure, that you will eventually get those airflares down as well^^

[@ironhandscrypto4446]

Yo man dope stuff. I can't do airflare but I've been training it for years, given up and started again only to give up again. I do have some pointers though after studying footage for literally years at this point. The main thing I can say is, don't forget about your head! This is such an overlooked part of the body in tutorials or when people are trying to instruct. Where your head goes your body will follow! What I've noticed in your case is your head is to far away from your pushing arm (arm that has contact with ground) arm when you throw! If you look at a lot of bboys who have the best control in airflare they almost have their head tucked into their armpit (bit of an exaggeration, but think of like a 90 where you tuck your head in and extend your shoulder blade to force your arm into into the floor. When you throw your head is coming away from your pushing arm which is pulling your body down and in line with and parallel to the floor. You are falling down from here and no matter how hard you kick your legs it's going to be a losing battle. Point your head towards the floor and when you throw imagine the top of your head pointing towards the floor before you actively look across to the floor on the other side to catch, still keeping your head close to your catching arm shoulder not away from it. Good luck. And don't forget about the head/where you are looking.

[@VincaniTV]

thanks man! that is very helpful. I am going to work on that next time for sure!!!

[@trubadix8349]

I feel very inspired by your way of training vince! I actually realized that when I practice I always want to feel progress and when I dont, then feel like I didnt train enough. I sometimes tell myself like I want to train 3 hours. But now that I saw you being like really chill and and taking it step by step makes me far more happy and its definitely a better way to work out. Thank you!

[@VincaniTV]

Yo for sure man! Sometimes it gets frustrating, especially when your practice is worse then the last one, but you just gotta keep it up. One day, something will click and you will start seeing the progress which is an awesome feeling. After I filmed this video I practiced again after looking at the footage and was actually able to correct a couple mistakes. Definently motivated!

[@trubadix8349]

@@VincaniTV First time in 5 years I took a 8 week break to see if its what I really want because it was too much before. Now Im taking it a bit slower.

[@leciasrinojannos9182]

I am rooting for you man, let's learn it, LET'S DO IT!!!

[@imministries47]

not too shabby there fellow.. Getting there, practice makes perfect ✌️

AMAZING JOB Quick tip: try and sweep with your right leg

[@bboykusillochasqui8923]

I'm 31 years old and this video is inspiring thanks man

[@bboyace92]

I know im late to comment ,but my only tip is learn flare to handstands,it will give you an idea on the hips/legs…once you get to understand the movement, proceed to newyork to airflare..hope i can help you out. peace and stay safe

[@Paul180]

Do you have advice for me by any chance as well? Your airflares look SICK! here is my attempt: kzbin.info8HX-t5Xoq8g

[@thebeeghoont7888]

This is beautiful bro

[@SpitefulAZ]

I started learning windmills at 32.

[@BboyGrace]

I have been working on the similar idea of make basics toprock look better & Dynamic. Do have a look. 🙌 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2qofpeKe9yGns0

[@christopherbf1197]

This motivates me to Keep going! I’m 25 and I started breaking at 19. Still not that good, doesn’t matter when you start but consistency and discipline. Thank you!!!

[@SpitefulAZ]

@@christopherbf1197 I started practicing regularly a year ago, but I learned simple stuff when I was younger. Still working on getting multiple windmills.

[@christopherbf1197]

SpitefulAZ I get you. Same for me in terms of learning the simple stuff, my goal is to get multiple Flares, at least 3 in a row with good form

[@SpitefulAZ]

@@christopherbf1197 my goal is to do halos! I have some progress on windmills, headspins, and crickets.

[@thebadmover]

Love your videos!!!Any update with your airflares? I've started practicing Illusions (Tornados) recently remembering your first video about airlfare and I'm now aiming for airlfares too.Keep up the great job

[@MJ-ru9iw]

So close Vince. Great progress!!! As I mentioned before in an earlier comment its that left leg. Swing your left leg under first like a halo; they are called Air Tracks for a reason. This will give you more momentum before you pike/invert so that you don't have to muscle it as much to throw over. Decide if you are going to "pump" airflare, traditional (swooping leg/straight leg) airflare or a combination of both swoop and pump. Remember that an airflare is a combination of a swipe, ninja and windmill or halo into one move. There are two basic ways to catch i.e. like a swipe or back and around. Keep your left leg straight and swing it like a halo. Can you do Halos? This will improve your Airflares. If you can't you must supplement it with a ninja. In other words you must have these foundation and intermediate moves strong and like second nature before approaching an advanced move like an airflare. The stronger the foundation and its roots the stronger the tree will become. Lastly, speaking of Halos. There isn't a tutorial on Halos. Something to consider for future content. Maybe even break down each move and what foundation will improve each area of the move e.g. one arm inverts on each arm will improve airflares or icey ice (headglide) and pilot freeze are prerequisites for Halos, coffee grounder for 4 steps, etc.

[@VincaniTV]

Yo Thank you! I appreciate the response. I will definitely start working on that left leg. I have noticed that when I put more attention into I feel stronger with my hop so definitely will work on this. Thanks yo!!!

[@VincaniTV]

I have unfortunately not done halos in a very long time due to a neck injury but that all makes sense. I do want to get a fellow Halo expert to do a tutorial on my channel in the future because you are absolutely right about it's importance. Thanks yo!!!!

[@MJ-ru9iw]

@@VincaniTV You are welcome. With Air tracks it is a twist of the waist and slightly whipping your leg through like a halo or Ninja but catching in the Air b4 you hit the ground. If you are ever in the Bay let me know. I still Pop a little. Im pressing close to my 50s but I can still windmill a little and one arm air baby. I used to Bboy a lot in the 90s. Much respect to your channel!!!

[@keepdancyn7926]

keep doing man, you can do it!!

[@orangeOHJAY]

Priority #1: don't get injured. At this age we can't afford it 😂😂😂 great progress vince!!

[@VincaniTV]

That is exactly what I am focused on haha

[@joshuaper1]

I’m thinking of making a tutorial for people who suffer from thoracic outlet syndrome.. but just thought I’d add that air flare is one of those moves where if your start with the illusion hopping then as you do them like a spinning quarter starts losing speed the rotation begins to change from being 1990 high to sinking deep into that sweet spot.. like when a coin starts using more of its surface space. Air flare is a result of perfecting starting at that wobbly point. For it would have been impossible for my body to properly articulate or physically pronounce the throw and catch with 100% certainty and confidence of I am going throw catch and land this with out the possibility or worry about my feet coming down so it becomes fun to really try exaggerate parts of the air flare.. for me the crash killed a lot of morale.. also I’m really good at dead mans since ur a righty like me it wouldn’t be a waste effort to end your practice with trying execute one rotation because when u land perfectly that’s what it feels like

[@playlistshift]

Shorten the strap. Follow the street lock timing I always blurb. Pop/hop on the snare, earth on the third count and hold til the next snare. Breakbeat. Advanced will be half the tempo or double. 45, 90, 180, 360. Not just slow or fast... Dance. Your shoulders are flexible so it's landing too quick. It's a twist much more than a push. The push, it's just a hop. You don't kick around, you twist the whole thing. The move is in the side abs. Pikeless straight legs makes you a champ. You don't have to fly to get air. 99 #strictlycoach I think

[@williamflowers1761]

Honestly you have it the only thing you're missing is to swoop

[@arifshingarovanimatix7509]

I learned my Airflare with High method You can start the same just go in to a wall of handstand & try to be as high as posible to role over in to a pike freez This exercise explains a lot of how to see control & understand how you are in there.

[@hugomyburgh7883]

I think it might help when you step out into your starting stance to make sure your hip is internally rotated so that once you wind your leg and finally get upside down, ready to kick, the leg will have moved into external rotation. I noticed you step out with your hip quite square, which I’ve found gets me into an internally rotated hip position of the sweeping leg right before I kick the other leg toward my face when attempting to flare. I think the internal rotated hip at that point prevents you from pushing your hips up. It’s perhaps something to experiment with.

[@brian_power01]

Nice tecnique man! Just try to stay higher when you go from your left to your right hand and keep going like that #Powermoves

[@VincaniTV]

Thanks man! I definitely need to work on that haha Since I filmed this I am doing a little better so hopefully be able to transition to a windmill or 2nd airfare soon

[@brian_power01]

@@VincaniTV That's good! If u want check my channel and tell me what do you think

[@SmithKhersaBiker203]

I am training from you

[@noshadow666]

I know this video is old, but 2 little tips that could help you especially since you're in your mid 30s, with regards to your comment about getting sore the next day if you don't stretch. 1. You mentioned you are doing strength training as part of your practice, like benching or dead lifting. First tip is warm down before stretching. After lifting heavy for however many sets you can, drop the weight to almost nothing and lift through the full motion focusing on form for a couple of sets at high reps. This will help massively before going into stretching with muscle recovery. 2. You probably think i will suggest taking protein, but that goes without saying, if you want to get stronger with any physical activity, you should always be taking protein, (for this kind of activity about 1.2g per kg of body weight over the course of a day should be ok)... this will help develop the muscle you need, but the real second tip is to also take daily magnesium supplements. This really helps with muscle recovery and healing, and almost completely eliminate soreness and stiffness the next day, and aids with building muscle. Thanks for the videos, all the best.

[@swakshatmishra]

Boom bro

[@andrebreaks1599]

Hi Vincanitytv I recommend that you check out bboy sambo’s tutorial on the Air Flare he has a lot of good information about getting to the second Air Flare because I had the same trouble with my Air flare but now I have better skill and understanding. Please check out his tutorial.

[@TvisZ]

I'd bump this too.

[@VincaniTV]

Word! I will have to look that up. I actually took some of my own advice after editing this video and when I practiced yesterday I actually got even closer. I will look that video up for sure!

[@Dance3run]

I was born at 13

[@HaiTharImDavid]

It looks like you might be throwing your right arm too early and also maybe not getting enough momentum from your left leg cocking upwards into a handstand instead of like diagonal(?) in a more circular motion. Best of luck though man. Hope to see some progress soon.

[@lanceshoaf9990]

Even if you can't airflare yet...you can do a pike 90

[@ПавелИванов-щ1ь1ю]

I'm not a super specialist, but it seems two things: 1. No push by hand. 2. On the construction you are too low. I am from Russia, there may be spelling errors. I can recommend a coach from Russia who would be interested in teaching you from a video. ))

[@bboy_mamont]

You must jump on side first legs second hends and uperbody folw your legs

[@magneticartmaster]

You are not keeping your hips high. Your whole torso completely drops. Keeping your hips high will allow you to re-gain momentum by swinging your leg upwards and continue. Think of a fan that you suddenly hold it by the fan blades so the base starts to spin. The base is your arms and torso.

[@ivanstanals2527]

I remember seeing your videos when i was 13 ...... you never answer my comments so as the time pass i really gone lossing interest in dancing ... thanks to you 🙂

[@VincaniTV]

Dancing is always there if you ever want to try it again. Learning dancing is not about me, it is about how you feel when you do it.

[@theghostarmy7002]

Thats amazing vincanity! I wish i could do some powermoves i can barely toprock and do footworks

[@nareshkumarmajji8697]

Did you just started ?

[@Paul-tg2jm]

Awesome!! I think you're arms are great and your legs too ( doing the pike).. but your hips are off. Try to focus more on them. Keep them high and even "pop your hips a bit as you jump. This will give you more airtime to maneuver and place your landing arm more stably. You can further practice hip control by keeping your legs bent, in doing so you will decrease momentum in the swing. I did an airflare evolution video! check out >> pave low airflare evolution, if you want. My hips are usually high up but I still throw them big arms airflares. Good success!

[@VincaniTV]

Thats whats up Paul! Imma look up your video. That is what I am hearing from others as well. I gotta work on my hips. Is the pop a similar feel to hand hops?

[@Vueshawn]

Update video for 2023? =)

[@chrisjoel5947]

@vincaniti are you still learning airfares? I’m 36 now, probably too old and too busy too learn…

[@Paul180]

No way man, start with it & enjoy the progress! I'm one year into airflares myself and practicing airflare sharpens up all my other moves as well for some reason. Definitely worth the grind/practice man and it's NEVER too late!

[@sometimesidontunderstand0029]

I’m 26 and I’m going back to training them don’t give up

[@metalcorpseman5433]

Seeing your knee strike the ground gives me anxiety. Please be careful!

[@VincaniTV]

I have gotten to a safer point now haha I am working on continuing to the next one now without hitting my foot. No more knee problems haha

[@bubisbubble4259]

My advice would be that you should forget that airflare machine. People who learned airflare say that machine didn’t help them at all

[@ryanjay594]

😀

[@scorpioneks7166]

arfer look you using that machine, i realize that you kicking with one leg and the other is pulling toward your face, but when you do it without machine you kicking with both legs
