I’m sure most of you guys will have different ideas about it. For me, Flow is when someone is in tune with the music, and all their tricks weave together perfectly. What do you all think?

Flow compared to lack of flow is like vector to bitmap. One is smooth, continuous and looks good, while the other is jaggy, disjointed and looks rough. Of course there’s a whole spectrum in between.

You basically transition between tricks easily enough and without mistake and you have a certain ability to make it look like it is one trick all together. That is the definition to me.

That was amazing. I love it when you guys post these older videos that us newer folk wouldn’t get a chance to see otherwise. So many bangers in that video.
Flow is like float, everyone seems to have a different opinion on what it means.

For me “Flow” is when someone does slower slacky type tricks that flow into the next trick.

Prepare to see a great tennis match of “that isn’t flow, THIS is flow” for the rest of this thread. 😛

Jensen’s 2011 routine is filled with flow, in my opinion. Those regens and whips doe.

There was flow, but the original post stated it “is” flow.
So unless the entire thing was flowy, I don’t think it should be so strongly defined

Well I don’t think you are going to find a routine that is pure flow.

Does it have to be a routine?
Why not just find a clip that is purely “flow” and use that as a interpretation of flow instead of a 3 min routine

This is great flow. Not Aaron Davis, but certainly not Gentry Stein.
