@bmxersmed Matt Hoffman invented the flair after he did this
Anyone know where in Mansfield this was held?

WTF 00:57
@sNiiTchCuzz okay..
@pilumi15 Flair means Flip air
That was a flip air
That was a flair
@PorcaScrofa flair is faster
watch 1:16 to 1:18 and see that guy on the right side. and stop the vid at 1:26
This is a very different trick to what you see today (i.e. what is called a flair). Notice that he goes straight up, does a backflip, and then spins a 180 on the re-entry. Today’s flairs carve, and are more like a barrel roll – both safer and easier to perform. So yeah, it’s possible that thefingerboarder could actually do a flair, but I would like to see him do it like this – straight up and down.
now people like craig mast do it flat
since when flare is called ”180 Backflip”? 😀 😀
It is a flair but the with kind of a late 180
@bmxersmed What’s even more impressive to me is that this was way before foam pits and resi ramps were around. These guys just thought of the trick they wanted to do and took it straight to the ramp, usually eating shit a few times before sticking it.
@threeballbanger – You nailed it. Back in the day, in Freestylin’ magazine, a guy wrote a letter offering $100 to the first person who could pull off the backflip air, or flair. He also called the backflip fakie a “flakie.” (The name and the trick never caught on.) At the time, he said he halfway expected to send the check to Hoffman; he turned out to be right. BTW–I know this because I’m the guy who wrote the letter. And sent the check.
