* Elbow Flares - The lower arms (and thus the elbows) are used to support the body rather than the hands. Due to the low clearance of the legs this is a difficult variation.
* Atomic Flares - begins with opposite hand normally used to beginning flare and starts from the back part of a flare.
* Lotus flares - A flare with the legs in lotus position.
* New York Flares - starts with the opposite hand than a standard flare normally would be started with. For example, if the legs are going to the right then the flares will start with the right hand placed on the ground first.
* Chair Flares - a flare done exaggeratedly so the swinging motion to the front looks like an air chair freeze.
* Double Chair Flares - a chairflare done with two airchair freezes (two bent arms), and no hops between the arm switch.
* Circles/Virgin Flares - the legs stay together and straight. Many gymnasts as well as some B-boys can perform this move.
* Hopping Flares/King Flares - hopping on the available (load bearing) hand as the legs swing through from the front to the back. C-zechin is required for this move. The breaker must Czech along with the hop in order to position himself properly to continue doing the flare.
* Spindles - the body moves in the same direction as the legs.
* Threaded flares - A unique flare motion where one uses the supporting arm (prior to supporting the swinging motion) to thread the two legs together. The legs become free as they swing through the front flare motion.
* V-flares - An advanced flare style where the legs stay straight in a V-shape close to the body and all momentum is exerted from the hips, as the legs stays to unmoving and provides no basis of support. These are also known as 'piked flares'. Much effort is needed to master V-flares.
* British flares- A flare which comes from a handstand position (placing one hand on the ground you kick the opposite foot into the air letting it catch momentum then you kick it through, the other foot you kick when you are coming down to let it pass under. Its used when coming from Air tracks to flares.
* Solar flares- A flare with the hips very high in the air and the legs piked together over the front torso (as if, the legs are flaring over the bboy's head and body). After switching from the starting arm to the opposite arm and when the torso is facing the ground, the hip pops out from under, giving the feel of the sun's explosive solar flare. It looks very similar to an airflare and a chair flare combined, but without the hop between the arm switch.
