Nah a birani is a frontflip with a half twist, a gainer with a half twist you effectively roll onto your back as you jump then tuck after

By definition a flair is a flip air and that means it can only be done in a qp. Flair on a jump is a underflip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HZlhCqtSKU This demonstration has it in a QP and on a jump, there's no definition of flair that indicates it only has to be done in a pipe.

I know this is freeskiing and nothing is official, but this wack tricktionary also just defines it as a backflip 180 -

Candide got 4th in the X games big air one year (2001 I think) doing a flair tail grab.

Nowadays, flairs are almost always a pipe trick, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't still be a jump trick. It differs from an underflip in that the rotation happens later in the flip, the underflip begins the spin off the lip whereas the flair the spin happens about halfway through the flip.

Ok think about this. Let's give bmx for an example. When you do a tailwhip 180 in a qp, it's called a tailwhip air, same with a barspin, barspin air. A flair is a shortened version of flip-air so in theory it's a backie 180 on a qp. I guess it's a jump trick now even tho it shouldn't be

basically the opposite of that so riding/running in facing forward then you kick up and across your body - effectively twisting onto your back to tuck and backflip to land switch.. I would provide a video of it on the ground but i'm injured atm :(

people like splitting hairs but that is generally called an underflip. can also be called a flair tho as said that's usually used in regard to doing it in pipe. and really you could also just say cork 5. people like splitting hairs though and saying stupid shit like "a cork technically doesn't go fully inverted guys" but that's pointless pedantry
