Artur

I don’t know anything about this hand balancer except that he’s good.

A variety of skills are displayed in a fun to watch free flowing manner. Using the spinning discs on the floor allows him to do some great moves.

The move at 2:43 (I don’t know what to call it) has to be one of the coolest looking moves I’ve ever seen. Thanks to Nick for sending this one to me.

Good Luck and Good Hand Balancing,
Logan Christopher

P.S. I can’t promise you’ll ever become this good but if you want to increase your skills check out these hand balancing products.

    I’d call the move at 2:43 an airflare.

    The move at 2.43 is an Air-Flare. Most of the top b-boys can do these. They link many together and link them to and from other power-moves, for example, flare to air-flare to 1990 to windmill etc. B-Boy “The End” from Korea is particularly good. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUkNo-igGIw&

    His moves are so fluid also his flexibility and strength are incredible. I wish I had flexibility like him. Nice

    Thanks for posting this Logan. Avakyan; I’ll remember that name. Such an amazing performance, I haven’t been this inspired since I saw the English Gents from La Clique perform in London last year!
