You guys.. straight legs will slow you down like crazy, that's why the straight-leg variation is harder. The tighter in your legs are, the more compact your body is, and if your body is compact, it will be easier to move around. Doing turtles is easier if you have lots of speed because it takes much less strength.

so it's true...legs straight will slow me down....ok!!!!

So it is harder to do a slow turtle than a fast turtle?...got that!

hey, but eventhough i bent my legs, my turtle iz still slow... juz got 36 steps of turtle in one mth joinin' breakdancing...

President · 10-29-2003, 06:54 PM

F][L+3RED S0UL, quality > quantity. And don't bother counting your steps anyway, that doesn't matter. 36 steps of slow turtles will bore a crowd.

X-Bobby · 10-31-2003, 04:45 AM

yeah....just work on your speed!!!!!!

F][L+3RED S0UL · 10-31-2003, 05:05 AM

da onli thing iz dat i cant get my speeds up...

move your hands and shift your weight around faster. start it off by swinging your hips if you want.

Bboy_Neb · 11-01-2003, 01:31 AM

Check you PM president :P Anyway, it is harder to do fast turtles. Because slow just requires more strength. To get turtles fast is way harder, the balande and all. Why do you never see turtles with crazy speed? Because it's harder, slow turtles are easy, I got em in under 1 week.

President · 11-01-2003, 01:54 AM

well i'm always too lazy to do slow turtles cuz i dont like wasting my strength. i invest my muscle power into my planches and jackhammers and some freezes.
