Turtles requires holding leg up higher or spreading wider to make look clean whereas crickets are whatever as long as feet is not dragging ground, so i'd say turtles are holder in that sense.

i do not agree with your reasoning.

[B-BoyHeat]

Turtles r harder alittle bit than crickets , although crickets r a transitioning move of the turtles . In the turtle move , u've to make a little shifting in ur body with ur both hands simultaneously while turning which is a bit harder than fixing one hand , tapping with the other hand and doing a little jump on the fixed hand in the direction of the move in crickets... So in my opinion , turtles r harder alittle bit . Crickets r cooler...They r almost the same...

[Zilla]

crickets are harder to grasp the concept of
i mean you cant just watch a video and automatically 'get' crickets

same goes for turtles in some cases but turtles are just hard to start
you can get turtles down in a week dude

crickets look sick if theyre high enough
and turtles are HELLA sick if theyre smooth and fast enough

[Flyer.Fly]

tutrles its harder to maintain balance


i do both and ill tell ya turtles are harder but crickets are cooler in my opinion

[ChronicCrisis]

for crickets
you need BALANCE, STRENGTH, MOMENTUM
turtles you just need strong wrists and balance

[enkaneshon]

Id PERSONALY say turtles are harder just cause i started with crickets for a while now everytime i try turtles i cant get my secound hand to budge :/

I guess it depends on what you start out with =]

[Hieroglyphics]

Crickets look better, but I can't do either cause I'm new so never tried yet, so idk what is harder. The first time I saw crickets and jackhammers though, escpecially jackhammers, I was flippin out. This is before I started breakin, I thought the guy was super man or something. Turtles don't make you look that cool. You gotta do it fast though.

How bout the middle ground, Darkhammers?[edit]

I started out with crickets, so getting turtles is a bit harder for me as I have to train my non-stabbing hand as well. But I think Crickets are harder because you have to time your hops just right, with turtles, its more about shifting your weight and balance.

Crickets are easier for me, Turtles gives me a hard time. ):

[xxBboyRyanxx]

Crickets are easier and looks cooler. (in my opinion)

[apbklyn891]

Crickets look better and when done fast and high they look crazy. Turtles are ok but slower.
Also:
Crickets- jackhammers
Turltes- darkhammers
I rather learn jackhammer then darkhammers.

[BboyDizzle]

crickets are harder than turtles well at least for me

[Tidiane]

yeh i think crickets is harder, but only cuz i already got turtles from way back, but im getting crickets now because i handglide fast as a mother**** , it helps and crickets looks way cooler no doubt
