 It was a flair, and belive it or not that wasnt the best one he done that day haha
  • + 11
 I thought a flair was a back flip 180........ Dude never got close to being upside down. How is this a claimed flair?
  • + 14
 more of a dumped 5

 Very similar to what Chad Kerley did in the finals of vital bmx game of bike. Sick edit anyways!

 its a flair guys..... go look at the big comps and people like daren barecloth and people flair like that, and also that the commentator shouts FLAIR and also if you do the 180 spin at a certain time as the flip it looks like a 'dumped 540' but still classed as a flair
  • + 1
 Yeah, just like bus drivers are called bar spins........ Facepalm

A flair is a flip 180. There was no flip in this. Not even close. He can call it what he wants, but we all know what it it.

 a flair...

 If you cant decide whether its a flair or a dumped 540, lets just call it a dumped 540 flair? no?


Just kidding. Looks more of a 540 to me, but people does alot of wierd things these days so it could be claimed as a flair. Since ive seen in so many x-games people are doing this and its being called a flair. But whatever, guy is super sick. Give him credits for that!!!!

 Wow, i cant belive im getting Neg props because im telling the truth and giving the guy credits because he is super sick? Where the heck is the world going?
  • + 2
 I'm pretty sure you're being neg proped for continuing the idea that he flared. No one seems to be arguing that the edit was pretty good. The problem people are having is that the claim is that this guy has only rode for an hour, and chainless, and whatever else. No one is disputing any skill. Just the claims surrounding the video to make it more hype than it really is.

 It seems to me that everyone does.
A 540 with a dropped shoulder is not a flare.
It's like these kids that roll up flat banks, turn sideways, then 360, turn back into the bank, roll out and then claim a 540.
The 540 was sick! Super dumped, but was it a flare? Not even close.
How do you do a flare without even flipping?
  • + 1
 Or, people thinking bus drivers are bar spins. Sometimes those who think they understand, just often don't.

 to be fair, amarican/ canadian riding is totaly different to uk riding, different styles different line up of tricks, like your more into flowing and the uk scene is into weird non stylish looking tricks.

 That was probably the most uneducated response I've ever seen pertaining to something like this.
  • - 1
 Still you dont seem to know very much we-are-138. The trick name is FLAIR, not a FLARE. But still. Never said it was neither a 540 or flair. Just told you the truth Smile just stop hate on everybody that doesnt agree with you. Your not god.

 Flare, or flair...... Neither word has anything to do with riding a bike, makes either spelling moot. Nice try though. I guess Ride Magazine, BMX Plus, and a bunch of others don't know very much either when they editor noted Flares as "Flare". Tomatoes tomatatos. Who am I to challenge the word of some random kid on the internet who watches x-games? You know, that big tv contest where the announcers don't usually know a thing about the sport they are broadcasting anyway? Riiiight! Also, the same random internet kid who did not know the difference between a bus driver and a bar spin. Yet, you're attacking my knowledge or riding. I have used frames in my garage older than you.

 This.shit.is.ridiculous.

 I know right ! Jesus guy's calm down. Who gives a shit if it was a dumped 5/flair it was still sick ! Round here we call it a flair but its cool if you guys think other wise. Also Gary, a busdriver is the same as a bar spin...the bars still rotate 360 degrees no?
  • - 3
 "a busdriver is the same as a bar spin" EXACTLY! Couldnt agree more with you Olly!

 to be honest i think we-are-138 is a bit of a cretin.

 olly-geary,
A Bus driver is when you guide the bars around with one hand as say a bus driver would turn a bus. A bar spin is when you spin the bars freely. The Bus Driver came several years before the Bar Spin. There is a difference, although the line is being more and more blurred these days, and a bus driver is more and more becoming accepted as a bar spin, they were/are in fact to seperate tricks. A bus driver is when you guide the bars around with one hand, so they are not in fact spinning. A bar spin is exactly that. Throw the bars, and catch them after they have spun completely around.

flash,
You're still not very bright and still following me around pinkbike trolling. Guess you found something you might actually be good at.

bulle,
Thanks for the compliment mate! Wink

 WOW! Here we go again! you think you know everything because you are older, but in facts you dont seem to know shit man! just stop hating on kids because they are better than you okay? Man, just give up and learn how a bike is rode these days.

 Your such a dumbass flash.
You have the internet don't you?
How is it that you can use it to troll me day in and day out, but can't use it to look up a small bit of information? Notonce have I clled into question how bikes are ridden. Good job trying to make it look as if I di. your trolling skills surpass your riding skills any day!

 seriously flashkid33. 138 will ride circles around you in his sleep. He never said he hates kids as you propose. Apparently you don't know how to read either. His last comment was total truth. A bus driver came before the bar spin. Bar spins are actually a variation of the bus driver. Just because a bunch of ignorant nobody kids on pink bike are too lazy to research things they say before they say them hardly means he knows shit. 138 also just stated that bus drivers are more and more becoming accepted as a bar spin. So he's not disputing anything, just stating actual fact. I just think it's really funny that you say he doesn't know shit, but obviously knows more than you. You're just a really stupid kid. I can tell you right now why people think a bus driver is a bar spin. Because kids like you are too stupid to just look shit up before they open their mouths.

 You didn't start it. The trolz did.

 we-are-138, im not following you or "trolling" you. You just dont have a life and sit at pinkbike day in and day out and comment on everything. And still, all i said was "if you cant decide whether its a flair or a dumped 540, lets just call it a dumped 540 flair? no?" AND THEN I SAID Just kidding. Looks more of a 540 to me So why the flying f*ck do you throw all your hate on ME we-are-138? i agreed with you, and still your telling that im wrong? youre so wierd.

 LOL. You really are a very pointless person. If I had to put up with your shit in real life I wouldn't sit about waiting for a mod to ban you.. Just grow up! You talk out your ass, next minute your mad, next minute you just use my words against me. You make no sense and i'm not gonna waste anymore time talking to a pillock like you.

 How the f*ck is this still going on? Keep on feeding each others but it's not going anywhere (well, to a ban at best). Hopefully one of you is smart enough to realize that.

 Yep, I need to learn to shut my mouth when a kid like you just keeps being dumb and commenting back. Please please, stand away from the computer. You only make things worse. Who dug up a SUPER OLD argument for no reason but his own enjoyment? YOU.

 This conversation made me laugh. First of all it's a 5 not a flair. Second gary you are wrong on one count it is spelt FLAIR is in FLip AIR. Which if you watch he doesn't do. Nice corked 5 tho.

 Yeah I just read over it to but please dude, just dont bother I don't think anyone wants this to kick off again lolol.

 f*ck that, I'm with 26street.
It doesn't matter how it's spelled. Either way, it's not what he did. lol

trolololol............Evil
  • + 1
 Actually it does matter how it is spelt, that was my point. It is spelt Flair because it is a Flip AIR. There seems to be a lot of confusion around the topic. A Flair can only be done on a qp/ bank ect...
Sorry olly, But I had to make the correction, blame it on ocd or something.
