Best Material to Slide on Basketball Court Floors?

Jams at basketball courts or gyms have waxed floors so doing power moves like halos, backspins and headspins are always difficult for me due to there being more friction than normal. What material do yall typically wear to spin more on waxed floors?

question

guys i have a question for yall, after the 2nd round flare
the movement becomes easier? i mean the training and stuff

i achieved a clean 1st round and a half 2nd round today, i didnt record it so i cannot show up here
but it got me so hyped up, that it feels the process might get easier from now on
it was a hard routine to learn the first one, i couldnt keep doing it because it was late night, but im so anxious for tomorrow

today was awesome... really!!!

Hard work pays off

Right now, I have a performance that isn't 100% confirmed about the sections so I'm hoping to be able to do it

Advice for a Beginner

Hello there! I've been breakdancing and have been able to put in about 2 hours a day everyday for the past 5 weeks or so. I recently participated in a local toprock thing going on in town and actually won which was awesome. I am young enough to where I could genuinely take this to a competitive level and am dedicated enough to train.

If you could provide advice in general in terms of learning (for a beginner), I would be extremely grateful. I have ran into a lot of issues with youtube videos which say, "beginner" and then proceed to show me the most complex moves I've ever seen so please remember, I really only know a decent amount of toprock (and tbh, only won the event because I finessed the few moves I knew and my opponent messed up in the final). Thank you all very much!

I Wish I Knew...

Veterans! What's something you're wish you knew in your first few years of breaking?

And/Or

What's something you knew but never actually followed through with that you wish you did (regarding discipline).

Flare Day.

Waddup!

I'm going to create a Flare Day for my exercise schedule, a day that is entirely committed to the Flare, and I'm reaching out to y'all for some ideas.

For context, I can already do a few, but really shit flares. What sort of exercises and/or youtube videos have y'all used to improve your flares?

Flare Day will fill a 2 - 3 hour block of time and executed once per week.

Feel free to rant and write a lengthy comment, I'll read and appreciate every word of it.

(Img there for your viewing pleasure)
