Turtles eat crickets.

Turtles are harder cuz the shell and theyre cooler since theyre in water.

seriously though, crickets look nicer.

just to make things clear, pretend i was pulled straight outta 2007... thats about as far as i know so don't turn to me for anything new. ROFL

Crickets are more difficult imo, and I also think they look much more impressive. To a layperson especially, it will look like one guy is balancing on his hands and walking around (pretty cool), and the other guy looks like he's floating around, bouncing on one hand and spinning (super fly).

A Cricket, Is The Same Motion As A Jackhammer, But Crickets You Balance On One Hand And Tap With The Other As You Go In Circles To Keep You Balanced, Jack Hammers Are One Handed All The Way With Either Your Free Hand Up In The Air Or Behind Your Back.

turtles are easy to learn, but hard to go fast, but crickets are easy to go fast (and look more effortless)
more importantly, crickets are easier to stick to the beat.

turtles are a easy to learn but the crickets have a better chance of winning in a bboy battle vs a turtle walk

I say crickets.

turtles you have you shift your body weight, and crickets you pump.

I would say turtles look cooler. I learned crickets easily but turtles are difficult.

I always wanted one handed cricketts. When Freez LA Breakers did them it was so clean and powerful. Plus he was 6'2" so you can imagine.

Buck 4 Rock Steady R.I.P. and I used to have some goood sessions. He had great control only a few could do them like him.

Turtles are MUCH harder IMO you need to use both hands and be comfortable spinning as fast as possible.

The only person i've seen to AWESOME mastered crickets are Pop and he's the best at them .
