I was hoping anyone could explaign me crickets

BboyJinxz · 05-03-2003, 03:50 AM

those arent jack hammers they are called darkhammers, hydrolics, or dancing turtles. crickets are hopping handglides or hopping turtles and jackhammers are crickets with one hand.

about the squishing noise , there was actually a post about his b4 , it is becuz when you start off , u won't tense your stomach or use ur arms , just kinda sit on your arms and mash ur elbow sinto your gut.this also happens when you eat or drink right b4 breaking , have gas , or gotta piss or poop.........lol........anywayz everyone does'nt get.......far as i kno it's harmless.........LOLROFLMAO first time i heard i was like "whOOOAAA shyte" and stayed perfectly still for like 2 mins making sure something wasn't busted...........lol......also MAD guide......and when i do turtles , i think my legs moves two much , are they supposed to move or just stay in basically the same position,cuz i think it's throwing off my balance.me and my dad....lol im only 12.......figured out that since i can hold the turtle position for liek a minute ,it has to be something with the balance.

bboy speeed · 06-10-2003, 02:44 PM

i dont get it. your elbows HAVE to unlock in order for u to move when ur doing turtles,and when im shifting weight my hands allways unlock. what am i doing wrong?????

bboy speeed · 06-10-2003, 02:56 PM

and if i dont unlock my elbows my right hand cant move(i go CCW) and i cant move/do the turtle.

ginyu · 06-10-2003, 08:09 PM

bboy speeed · 06-11-2003, 09:47 AM

bboydizale · 07-04-2003, 02:16 AM

I FINALLY GOT IT!!!!!

thanx bro for the guide, it was right on the money, I kinda kept losing it on the flexing n breathing part after one or teo rounds I would collapse red faced, but now I got it

bboynameless · 07-04-2003, 05:55 AM

haha i just got da freeze for like 30 seconds now and im just reading about walking...and yea i tryed to kinda walk but its hard like david says.... i just kinda stay in da position and wen i try to walk i fall....-_-' is ur elbow suppose to be stabed really close to ur belly button like ur suppose to do wen u freeze or more to your side to help you walk? ....18z

SoYSauCe · 07-17-2003, 07:44 PM

Lol. That's what I was going to ask. I'm kind of confused about the position of the elbows.

SoYSauCe · 07-29-2003, 03:54 PM

I can finally walk it. It's not great but it won't be long until I can do it good.

HaRdStylist · 07-31-2003, 06:40 AM

yeh i can walk but.. man ... i dunno when to use it

i rekon it looks i little weird if u just walk on in doin da scorpion on ur hands...
damn its a little annoying when i m trying so hard to spin and then i like fart. damn. too much effort.

yeah okay, ill just be over here.....

hmm well turtle is not used a lot anymore much like handglide, but the most obvious combo is windmill to turtle.
And turtle can give your really good wrist and arm strength if you keep rotating faster and faster, so its a nice powermove in that way.

Actually, I think its sad that we dont see pros doing turtles much anymore in power combos, I mean it is a powermove. As well as cricketts or jackhammers, I wish I saw em more. One hella dope combo Ive seen Kujo do is turtles to UFO to 1990, and it looks so dope. Also Flying Steps video breakin it down I think has a dope dude doing turtles mad fast, and those look hella sick if you can get them that fast, so keep practicin those turtles!

hashish · **turtles clip -** 08-09-2003, 04:45 PM

really nice guide crescent

i hope people will find this clip helpful too... these are turtles done by storm (i guess..) and are quite fast. similar to those that crescent has mentioned in his guide (flying steps - breaking it down - the guy with yellow pants

) i thought that maybe not everyone's able so see it...
