I find it funny that people believe Morgan Hamm is sick at airflares. He has great form and technique but that's about it. His airflare record is around 10, while the airflare world record is around 60. And most legit powerheads in the world can bust out a good 15 or so, while still working on their own style and other blowups.
nice stuff dude! hey morgan i know that u've seen bboy guinho from brazil right! now serch for bboy zangao brazil he's air flare are similar to yours! but he's a bit more perfect!
Some people on here need to do some serious research and open their minds. Creation and recreation is an ongoing cycle so anyone who comes up with a new creation was inspired somewhere by something/someone. All things in life work the same and they actually evolve so even if you are the one to make a break through on something there were probably 100s of people busting their ass at something similar and getting only slightly different results. I can think of so many points in history where this
Idk I just don't like gymnastics way of doing flares. It looks too clean when breakdancing is practically rough style. ._. But bad ass air flares though.
@artisttran not a pioneer, not a creator of the airflare. he's not even very good at it. BBoys Yan, Bruce Lee, Cico, and Punisher and many others have been doing air flares more than a decade ago. Hamm only got it in the last few years. Hamm is also very slow at the hop in the airflare. Yan, on the other hand, has piked, elbow, forearm, and lotus airflares which have no pause in the hop. I marked the day when this video came up, and it was much later than others. Do not claim we are ignorant.
@andiwand111 this topic should not be hot. morgan hamm did not invent the airflare and he is not even very fast with it. the move has been around much longer than he has been doing it, and has been perfected by bboys around the world, with many variations, including the elbow, forearm, piked, lotus, and other kinds of airflare. for instance, BBoy "The Iron Shrimp" Yan is much more experienced with this move.
lol your a gymast , cuz your flares are so low compared to normal breakers, nice airflares though, and you should try airflare, 1990, flare, into one handed airtracks, but thats really hard
great way of thinkin to introduce some new things in the gymnastics. He is an innovator in his disciple. The other guys who talking shit on youtube they are just bla bla bla bla.
1.5 IS OLD MAN,,,THERES A KOREAN WHO DOES A FULL 2 N CONTINUE ON NORMAL FLARES,,,do more search. learning on soft mat like this is easy,,,,,too much easy ,,u can try u too sanagurik3u
There's only one type of airflare so there's no such thing as a "gay gymnastics version"; this guy was doing normal airflares and pretty clean ones that that in my opinion
@BboyEclisse91 dude .. he's not a bboy... you misunderstood style... in this vid the word style meant the original definition. not the bboy definition.
@MrSoiThinkiCanDance That doesn't make any sense. They are stealing nothing. Morgan Hamm (the gymnast who first did the airflare in competition) gave full credit to break dancers for making the move. And gymnasts were doing flares 30 years before bboying even existed. The name flare comes from flair which is the last name of the gymnast who first did it. They equally give each other moves. Saying one stole one from another is simply ignorant.

haha no shit, i didn't know genius. And no the only variation of flare here is the flare itself. The windmill was invented long before the flare and the "Airflare" was originally known as airtrack, now both names are used. Airflare began beeing used when people started to see the resemblance of the leg movement in the air, but that's it, they do not share any level of technique. So "many" of the moves this guy was doin was NOT gymnastics, it was bboying. It's funny you refer to 4 as many.
i respect gymnastics ofcourse, but gymnastics is all about ripping off moves and then telling people you thought it up. They stole a lot, nowadays everyone thinks kurt thomas came up with the flare, while he ripped it of capoeira. practically no one knows that. And now they're trying the same with the airflare, thats just plain theft
This is Morgan Ham. I hope he is saying that he's adding originality in the gimnastics realm! Cause people , we all now how far the airflare movement has been combined and stylized in the bboying world ! So lets relax and let him do hes gimnastics and call it a day!
@MrSoiThinkiCanDance Lol implying a ton of bboy stuff isn't influenced by gymnastics? So gymnastics decided to finally take something from bboy instead of the other way around. They both influence each other so stop being a pissy pants
wow i like it pretty good. I like how you add those one airflares in there you should try the airflare suicide i dont know if you ever heard of it but its part of what bboys do also, i mean if they are a powerhead. But nice its good =D
you got some serious skill but pointing your toes when doing the flares not working, learn some top rock moves and freezes to develop your rythm and style. I think the gymnastics has many parallels w/ the more acrobatic bboy moves keep it up man
i seen on the olympic trails him saying he made up a new move and the announcers saying that its a new move...lmao..nice airflares but come on give respect where its do...ooh yeah..that pose at the end was so so tight...lol how about gay..
No. He would have been but he didnt get in :( I might use this to tell people how to flare, so they can see how the second leg needs to be REALLY HIGH! Thats the key. The first leg is important to but the second one is most important.
And bboying bites off gymnastics. You guys just spit out biased facts, where do you think inverts and hollowbacks came from? It started with gymnastics. Flares came from gymnasts. Air flares came from Bboys.
not clean bro! they look like match sticks... look too stiff, i dont like gymnist power also... i love Raw power a.ka bboy Ivan, bboy Venom, Ronnie Ruen, lil ceng and the Bboy allstars yo!
i thought for gymnasts it would be much easier to learn how to breakdance, but i thought wrong....GO PAUL HAMM!!!, lol....at least he got'em towards the end. NICE YOB!
he is good ... looks like rubber when he is landing his airflares lol. but really good. i like bboy airflares better than his style. but still good. better than what i can do
I dont like about gymnastic powermove Because like the flare their legs are open to wide i think thats look not cool in bboy This what I think I did not be mean Ok
lol you guys are crazy do you think they respect bboys as gymnist when bboy do flares?? its not the same thing, this is not a bboy I hope you can see this...
This is awesome. What are some good exercises and stretches to be able to work up to this point?
I think it's the gear or 'lack there of' sometimes. Super props to guys who have the skills to do these moves.

Very nice!!

hey morgan i know that u've seen bboy guinho from brazil right! now serch for bboy zangao brazil he's air flare are similar to yours! but he's a bit more perfect!
he's no bboy, he's an acrobatic. 'nuff said
he did like 4/5ths of a king flare!!! beast mode

dude youre so clean dope
nice airflare'
No, he's a gymnast, acrobats practise different things (mainly handstand balances and flips).
this is not a breakdance moves, he is an acrobatic.
beastly airflare
that looks like Paul Hham from the American olympic team..
Idk I just don't like gymnastics way of
doing flares. It looks too clean when
breakdancing is practically rough style. ._.
But bad ass air flares though.
haah yeah but u never see cico dancing anyway 2 steps and he goes to an airflare
what??? serch for bboy zangao he's even better then this dude
fucken dope.
u gota be a gymnastics guy to do airflare, it's not a move for breakdancers
he could be a good bboy
sorry mate, how it read it really seemed that you were really taking a hit out on gym.
no way
Dude flares originated from gymnastics, airflares came from breaking, and he did windmills too, get your shit straight
u would be a sick bboy
Word Up
i dont like the form it looks so girly haha
but stil keep up the good work
lol i see bboys that are 14 doing more power combo's than this haha
thats good butt hahaha jk
OSU!!! i'm from ohio... hha but dont go to osu
hey gimnasta continua con tu gimnasia no te metas con el break no que farsante,,,,dale al split...jajajajajajaja
yer a good gymnist, but stick to the gym
dont bboy, if you can only do power gymnist shit
i hate that
@artisttran
not a pioneer, not a creator of the airflare.
he's not even very good at it.
BBoys Yan, Bruce Lee, Cico, and Punisher and many others have been doing air flares more than a decade ago. Hamm only got it in the last few years.

Do not claim we are ignorant.
dont like it, this move was steal from bboy powermoves
"nice finish"
look for me bboy pityx
still a noob
Gotta give gymnastics all the props for best formations, they would rather do one perfect than do 5 ugly.
@andiwand111

for instance, BBoy "The Iron Shrimp" Yan is much more experienced with this move.
Would a gymnist succeed in a bboy battle? I figured that they are all power but no style?

@BboyEclisse91 dude .. he's not a bboy... you misunderstood style... in this vid the word style meant the original definition. not the bboy definition.
Dude. Its a guy practicing AIRFLARES. a guy who already has flares down pat.
I'm a bboy, and this just looks like well-trained man practicing.
@Buttplugbetty yeah i know that but we actually give gymnasts credit for it, and apparently gymnasts dont give us credit for airflares
nah...gymnast air flares are harder cos you have to point your toes...but bboys do it as an artform not tricks....bboys are dancers...

Ok
lol you guys are crazy do you think they respect bboys as gymnist when bboy do flares?? its not the same thing, this is not a bboy I hope you can see this...
All he's gotta do is get him some gazelles or pumas and a beanie with some slick fabric on it and he's good to go.....He'll fit fine as a euro bboy
this video makes me wonder wut would happen if bboys bruce lee or the end went into tha olympics..
I don't really care too much if gymnasts are doing airflares, just as long as they give credit where credit is due.
Airflare's = Bboying
Damn. Your form is PERFECT.
Gymnastics, I'm assuming.
But DAMN. Those are beautiful.
ayo gymnastics dude try breakdancing youll need to get foot work but u already have some of the best power moves!!\
wow.. that is one of the hamm bros.. but he is weak.. needs to practice more.. cant wait to see it in the olympics..
Why are there no airflares in gymnastic competitions and even the olympics?So far i only saw flares and windmills.
DUDE! rockin! from one b-boy to a gymnist good technique! now just learn some up rock and add it to it brotha!
@artisttran pioneer... creator?
ahhahahahahahhahahaha
hot garbage right there
this guy is morgan hamm from the US national team...he used the air flare in his floor routine. pretty sick
it looks so gay !^^
like a gymnist.^^
thats what he is
the flares are ugly but the airflairs are nice
they did
serch for morgan
i think they look the same but im a noob....but because i can't do either i have and un bias opinion
thse airtracks are nice indeed .. but i dont see the style you talking bout
lol, not quite any 'style' from from a bboy perspective, but keep trying my friend. looking good!
these are one of the best form airflares I've seen in a while, but DivineBlizzard is right lol
bboy punisher and bboy guinho have air flare better than this air flare
@jbrown677 uhmm.... Alot! of bboys has the skill to do these moves, and more.
search it up :S
there is something i dont like about ur flare
Clean video and clean moves, break dance's flares are still nicer.
Dope yo if you don't point your toes on your move's you'd look exactly like a bboy.
that's morgan hamm. paul's twin brother.
morgan has that big scar on his shoulder.
nice ending pose
Ok, rage-a-holic let me re-word.
Bboying makes gymnastics look cool.
There, happy?
This is one of the funniest fails of a gymnast trying to do bboy combos / moves.
yeah! if you go on his airflare website it tells how he wanted to learn airflare
per favore pensa afare le gare di ginnastica artistica...non sei un bboy sei un ginnasta!!!
hes does gymnastics. hes incorporating the moves into gymnastics. oi vey.
I like how he was actually doing air flares to Double Dutch Bus. hahahaha
That last thing is what I want to see in the olympics. 2 thumbs way up.
@andiwand111 aw geez man. lol that changes alot i guess..
this is gymnastics.
Many breakdancing moves stem from gymnastics.
This guy shud be a bboy. His flares and airflares are really clean
@sam20991 didnt say he was, just said he makes bboying look gay.
he can becm a great bboy
and i noe his not a bboy
