Airtracks

To perform the airtrack it's best that you can perform multiple flares and
windmills with ease...the reason you need to be able to do this is because an
airtrack is basically a windmill in midair and you will need the flare to
perform before the airtrack to gain momentum...(its almost impossible to do
the airtrack by itself...most of the time you will want to perform a
flare~airtrack combo)

This is for counter clockwise flares and airtracks

Start off by doing half of a flare...when you do this you should be in the
back part of the flare with you hands on the ground in front of you and your
legs spread apart behind you...now kick your right leg up and to your left
behind you in a circular motion...at the same time look to your right (very
important!)...right after you look to your right kick your left foot under
your right foot (like doing a windmill except your body is off the
ground)...when you twist too far to keep your hands on the ground swing your
right hand around behind you...as soon as you lift your right hand give a
very hard kick with your right leg going up and left and your left leg going
under it (just like before...picture the motion for a windmill)...a
millisecond after you let go of the ground with your right hand let go with
your left hand (you have to make sure that it is a millisecond after you let
go with your right hand...if you let go with both hands at once you will just
fall to the ground)...when you lift your left hand you should now be in the
air with your back facing the ground and your legs open like you were doing a
windmill...as soon as you see the ground (that's why I told you it was
important to look to your right...so you can see the ground when you come
back over) put your right hand down...then put your left hand down...you
should now be in the position that you started the move in...from here you
can go into windmills or another flare...

The most important thing when you do this move is to make sure that you stay
about 45 degrees to the ground...if you go too high up you will land on your
head instead of hand and if you go too low you will land on your back or your
stomach...another tip is to make sure that you keep you legs open...if you
close your legs you will spin more than you want to and land on your back...

Some variations to this move:

Double Airtrack- an airtrack where instead of keeping your legs open you
close them and spin around twice before catching your self on your hands.

Other variations- an airtrack is basically just a windmill in the air so any
variations on a windmill can probably be used for an airtrack (like
nutcrackers, genies, sumos etc. etc.) just make sure you land on your hands
in the end or you could hurt your self pretty bad...

Damn well I know this description is long but I hope I helped some of you out
there learn this move...and I know it sounds confusing but its not too
confusing once you try it...just be warned that this move is VERY hard and it
will take you at LEAST 2 months to learn it...if you don't get it the first
few times you try it don't get frustrated just try it again...you'll get the
hang of it sooner than you know it...
