I want to flare like in the video.
My flares starting to look like in the video but i want to ask what exercises are the best to train for such powermoves. Now i am doing arm, legs and mostly upper body stretches, for strength i do v-sit, l-sit walks, handstand push-ups with proper form, Cast Handstand Wall Walks, Ag Walks.
To get good at power, you should of course spend most of your training actually doing power. Especially training combinations will build up your strength endurance technique and awareness. For basic airpower i would especially reccomend windmill-flare, flare90 and flare-airflare-flare. Of course all combos do help and should be practiced, but these ones will give you the ability to go up from a ground move to 90s or airflares. Nox has ridiculous flares though. He pikes them, but he can combo it upwards whenever he wants no matter what. Im not crazy at power myself, but i do have some combos down and working on really controlling my airflares.
For extra conditioning i would especially recommend press handstands. Build up to being able to do several from straddle L. It helps a LOT with flare90/airflare. Also, like you said, handstand pushups. Getting really good at doing baby-handstand several times in a row is great to build up the push out from baby which will help for many things.
from my very last experience, press to handstand of everytpe (from straddle L or L-sit) drasticallly increase the ability to perform high flare in the back and other flare transition as flare to 1990 or flare to airflare/elbowairflare.
alsa manna progression helps you to understand how push your hips forward away from hands.
also planche really heps to stay extendend on the back expecially flare to planche.
btw bboys build up the strengh for flares doing flares. don0t do the same mistake, work on strength foundations and then apply them to flares
Thanks for answers. I do powermoves for few hours then end it with gymnastics, sometimes i spend a day with just gymnastic stretches and statics since my room gets occupied. I am planning to spend my summer by training powermoves all day long at grandmas house upstairs, since in the end, i can't imagine what else i want to do in the summer.

Do them outside, at least you'll get a bit of sun!

Well i fix my computer speakers to my phone and then play some music. And there is no computer(and no normal TV), i will go outside sometimes for a swim and dry myself in the sun. This means i can't do anything asides training :| But like i said, this is what i want to do, not hanging out with friends or waisting time elsewhere.
