then keep trying til u can get about a little more than 90

Although I can't do them, my guess would be -
Half a flip, then, when you're upside-down, instead of keep going to do a backflip, kind of lean over your shoulder (make sure you still leaning back), and twist your body a little..

nick ur not flairing lol if your not allowed 2 backflip u cant practice 180 flips
and heres step by step exactly wut u do dont listen to ppl unless they can do them
first learn 180 flips
when your doing a backflip do nothing different AT ALL
except for look to the side dont drop your shoulder until u can get at least 90 flips or u will do wut almost all of us do and throw an off axis 3 flip
so just regular backflip look sideways once you can throw flips with a little more than 90 in it u can flair
when you flair
first get a ramp thats verticle or close to verticle 6-8 ft tall
go strait at the ramp no carve or n e thing or u will eath shit
so go strait at it and throw a backflip like you were doing b 4 make sure u air out because not everyone can flair under coping at first i know i cant very well
a trick that i did when i was learning flairs is when u throw the flair watch sumthing that is directly to the side of u and if u can watch that object the whole time your gonna flip the right way
u dont hav 2 try it but thats wut i did and it helped
u do not need a quarter to bank for this i have never flipped a quarter to bank in my life
it does not hurt when u flair and land back in the ramp
the only way it should hurt is if you hit the coping i hav done that many times its not that bad u get over it
or if you over rotate the flair which usually doesnt happen
so go try it you shouldnt hav a problem if you hav a good quarter pipe
it only took me maybe 2 hours after i thought ok im going 2 try flairs 2day
2 hours later i threw a flair
so yea dont b a bitch and go do it lol <3

im scared of you flipping again nick, i probably wouldnt try them because itd be freaky to watch you do them while i try them.
i learned to throw flairs by learing how to flip to feeble, and how to 180 flip fakie flyout.. all you do is combine the two but jump a bit harder.
ive noticed...you definitely dont have to flip before u try or land a flair. there have been many people who have done it before flips. also, once u get the whole, flip, look over shoulder thing, allllllllll u have to do is keep ur hands and feet on lol..sounds stupid but when ur actually tryin them it makes perfect sense like any other trick. i have the rotation down, i just for some reason take my hand off and i just dont commit i guess, idk why gay
