crickets and turtles are both hard and also they are both different so you cant really say which ones harder because it really depends on you if you can do it or not.

but good crickets look fast and awesome, not to mention when you master them you can follow them up with an even cooler move, jackhammers.. And according to Prez once you master crickets jackhammers come pretty quick

Just my opinion tho.

PS - turtles down extremely fast tho, can look cooler. But im talkin when someone has them mastered and can flyyy (barely see that :/)
i mastered cricket long time ago and i can only do 2 hops on jackhammers most was 3 only once to me

crickets are harder becuz in both you should only have one hand on the ground most of the time, but in crickets you go up higher. how cool they look really depends because almost everyone who masters crickets do them at the same speed, but with turtles, the better you are the faster you go(fast turtles look better than crickets, slow turtles dont)

well if u learn one first, of course the other will be harder, but turtles make crickets easier to learn cuz u already have the feeling and the comfort zone down with one hand under u. I started out with turtles, like they were the first powermove i ever learned. I just recently started trying crickets and they came easy, im talking like 2 maybe 3 days of practice. that was like a month ago. now i can hop and go back into turtle and vice versa. Crickets are easier to hop with than turtles, but i get more speed with turtles. personally, i think crickets look better, cuz turtles barely ever look effortless ya digg.
