ok, for turtles

Shift all your weight to one hand and move the other. Then put that hand down. Then shift all your weight to your other hand, and move your second hand.

if you only get three steps then practice!!! i could only get three steps when i started...when you are learning make sure you go slow and then you can work on yo speed...

i couldn't understand what u mean
my style is different i think
tomarrow i will send my best turtle try for your vote and give some advices

[Anubis2002]

walking them(turtles) is about leanin n shifting weight, u can remove ur elbows from ur stomache at first..

lean on say ur left hand, then turn ur right hand 45 degrees in the direction u wanna walk, then land n lean on that

[Lachy]

Yeh its all in the shifting your wieght from one hand to the other, u need the momentum to so wind up a bit then whip it back and shift ur wieght from one to the other and u'll get it soon enough. I can walk forwards and backwards to, its the same concept.

[seckinsavur]

could anyone post a clip here? i wanna see how to do, i only hop on my two hands while spinning

[Lachy]

What u mean by that?

[d@rk_wr@ith]

i think hes doing kinda 2 handed crickets,

look dawg just keep both ur elbows stabbed into your stomoch where ever they feel comfortable and take all the weight on one hand then rotate 45 degrees and put ur other hand down and put all ur weight on that hand(keeping both elbows stabbed solidly in ur stomoch) then rotate another 45 degrees and put ur other hand down then put ur weight on that one so on and so forth stard going 45 then stopping and getting urhand down and weight on it then use the hand with no weight on to spin u another 45 then stop and change then when u get it good start spinning a little faster and stopping for shorter then eventually u can do it smoothly.
peace

i mean i cant spin 45 degrees without hoping on my two hands.i put my elbows my stomach and hoping. cant u send me a clip ???

[d@rk_wr@ith]

i cant post a clip cos i dont hav a video camera but what u have to do is twist ur hands out to the side so ur wrists are facing eachother( try get ur elbows almost touching and ur hands out to the side with the fingers pointing to ur left and right not foward) then put weight on one handand twist so that ur hand stays planted but ur wrist moves but because it can only move to a certian point b 4 it breaks u have to switch and do the same, imagine a little circle on the ground and u have to walk ur hands around it with the wrist that ur weight is on always pointing into the centre i will try draw a pic but i doubt it will help


left hand
(start here iii (the i's are fingers)
facing down) o
-
right hand - - hand fingers pointing outwards
----o - - o---- right hand
-
fingers pointing outwards


it wont really b a circle when u do it its not supposed to be a circle, but looking at it like that helps u get the gyst of making sure ur hands are pointing outwards and the spin in in ur wrist while ur hand stars still untill u transfer. i know its a pain in the ass of a picture and im complicating it but i cant think of anyother way to teach it i learned by watching some dude at school do it over and over again till i picked it up, it took ages though. just make sure ur fingers are pointing outwards, ur elbows are in ur stomoch and walk around in a circle from one arm to the other putting ur hands down where ever u feel comfortable. when u get it u will wonder why it was so hard to learn when it was so easy but its a pain in the ass to learn.

[d@rk_wr@ith]

ok dont mind that pic it worked in the little typing window it was shit anyway just keep ur elbows in and hands out

[d@rk_wr@ith]

by hopping on both hands do u mean jumping on both hands or falling onto ur other hand? if u mean jumping around on both hands just turn ur hand out and float basically,
if u mean u keep falling just lean heavily to the side thats on the ground so that u dont fall and make sure that u take all the weight and ballence good untill u have spun enough to get ur other hand down and lean heavily to that side.
my bad if im making no sense im heaps tired and srry bout that attempted pic that just shat itself,
peace
