His brother tells that Bboy Pablo was first to do air flares continuously — Aug. 1st, 1998 — with the Climax Soul Control crew.

One of the pioneers of modern “Airmoves”.

And who’s first on YouTube to show a single air flare?

Morgan Hamm was the first Artistic gymnast I saw do it in competition.

related – petition on Change.org asking that USAG “credit” the invention of two air flares in series to Pablo.

I’m happy to credit him. But didn’t sign the petition as it makes no sense. Naming conventions in Artistic Gymnastics (FIG and/or USAG JO) normally have no relation to what similar skills are named in other sports: snowboard, skateboard, tricking, dance, etc.
