Airflare

[12] There was a change.org petition created by Curtis Hedges of the OBS Group to influence the United States Olympic Committee to recognize Pablo Flores, and more recently Lui Guerrero as the first person in history to perform continuous airflares.

The term airflare was coined by members of Soul Control, including Barmak, Babak, Inferno, and Kujo, to distinguish the move from the airtrack.

The hyphenated air-flare and spaced air flare are occasionally seen, but the term is usually fully compounded to produce airflare, which is consistent with other move names, e.g., windmill and headspin.

While all of the documented cases mentioned herein help popularize the move, especially B-Boy Ivan, there is in particular a battle between Soul Control and a temporary super crew known as the Flying Tortillas.

Many other b-boys would popularize the move in the coming years, notably Moy and Boy of Havikoro (from Texas), and Benny and Tuff-Kid of Basel City (from Switzerland).
