Peter Pham: High Crickets (May 2009)

[haloman12456]

i remember a friend of mine could cricket from the ground onto a stool (aprrox 2 ft high) and not flip the stool T.T

[BboyNamek92]

I wuz competin in texas at a carshow and I wuz doin crickets and I wuz goin so fast I ended up pumping harder and doin those by accident haha it wuz weird

[onetwothreewala]

you should learn criticals

[PxQxP]

@onetwothreewala haha thanks for the suggestion. ive thought about learning them. havent gotten to it.

[PotatoFTW]

POP!

[ball260908]

If you can fast , you will best

[awesomeasiananthony]

Thats good my friend can do about that height buh he goes hella fast, if u go fast u would wreck lol

[DQNguyen91]

your camera's autofocus was like "OMG WHAT THE PHOOOOOOOOO....... I don't even know how to focus on this awesomeness" hahahaha

[Thefallnstars]

Don't you need crazy abs for that? It pushes the air out of me when I try to cricket that high ;o

[PxQxP]

@Thefallnstars haha no, i didnt have defined abdominals when i did crickets this height, just keep it moderately flexed and tense when youre doing the crickets

[Thefallnstars]

@PxQxP Okay, thanks! I can only get about 11 crickets on a good day hahah. Any tips? ;o

[PxQxP]

@Thefallnstars just keep practicing haha

[kamikaZkida]

heyy well i need help i can get as high but how do u get 180 degree spins?

do u tilt your head toward your direction? or is it in the wrists?

[PxQxP]

@kamikaZkida it's from the using my hopping wrists to rotate me and a lot of power from the free hand thats pulling the rotation

[kamikaZkida]

@PxQxP ahh thanks man so.. really what i need to do is put as much force into not only height but.. rotation

[PxQxP]

@kamikaZkida yes, the two coincide, but if you can even both out and do both strong, your crickets will be very good

[erickyle93]

What a fucking boss =P

[EinForster]

thats Drowning Pool - Bodies? not sure



[PxQxP]

@EinForster lol youtube error. i changed it

[EinForster]

@PxQxP

It still says the same, what ist this song called? I think it was on Amped 3

[Blackviolinist24]

I can do high crickets but I thought it would be biting if I used them in battle since bboy pop always does them

[PxQxP]

@Blackviolinist24 haha nah, it's cool man! if you have skills that good, show it off haha. doing super clean flares isnt biting a pro powermover right? so doing high crickets isnt really biting pop either. i think he's most known for it because he's one of the only people who can get that height. =]

[Bb0yLilTh0M]

@Blackviolinist24 nahh bro, high crickets are a foundation move

[jimmyjn3]

isnt this called flying crickets?

[PxQxP]

@jimmyjn3 haha i just consider them crickets

[maztekboom]

@jimmyjn3 lol i call them grasshoppers :D

[kamikaZkida]

thanksss for the help haha so pretty much uhhhh use all force? xD but what i see is that your using your guiding hand differently? like your pushing off with both

[PxQxP]

@kamikaZkida yeah. try to stay controlled

[kamikaZkida]

yoh how do u do that? mines are high but no where near that id appreciate it if youd have any tips to hand on?

[PxQxP]

@kamikaZkida use your legs and thighs a lot to help you spring up hard. and push off hard. too much speed will reduce your height, unless you can control super pro haha.

[PdubzCrew]

High crickets look better.

[Ashyflake]

this is call grasshopper

[BboyKeyeTastrophe]

Damn, those are nice :D

[bboyblaze10]

yo are u pops son kuz dam dat shit waz nice =]

[iNeed0xygen]

[justindigstwigs]

all he needs is that one handed planche and that real air baby haha.

your crickets are super high dawg.

keep it up :D

[weirdboypro]

wow holy ...im gonna learn that

[MinesR34]

WOAH!...Another Bboy POP!

[Kenjige3]

I can hop twice now but really slow is it easier to do it fast or slow

[PxQxP]

it gets tiring if you go slow, so practice and get a good roation, moderately fast, just not super where you would get too dizzy.

[Kenjige3]

I can do em now lol

[Kenjige3]

How long did it take for you to learn? I can only do 1 hop and I've been trying for like 3 days.

[PxQxP]

a few weeks after i could hold the position and handspin. can you already hold the position comfortably and handspin decently?

[Kenjige3]

I can hold the position for like 20 seconds but I can't spin because I have a carpet floor lol

[PxQxP]

o. lol. i see. try looking for some place where you can practice spinning. b/c you should really learn how to spin before you try hopping for crickets.

[Kenjige3]

When you were first learning did you think you would never learn them?

[PxQxP]

no. it wasnt that hard. and anyways, after alot of practice, you can do it.

[nastyczen]

i tried to do this before..but i hurt my knee..because was too high man and it slammed on my knee..

[PxQxP]

yeah, it happens. haha.

[AMkoreann]

[bboyangel18]

[PxQxP]

[PxQxP]

haha yeah. i can do 270 if i dont go for height, just speed.

[DevilsPlaygroundz]

omg.. where are your arms stabb at??

[PxQxP]

[DevilsPlaygroundz]

[jeffersong808]

[kenreddragon]

i can do high crickets also but i cant clap mines.

[PxQxP]

nice, yeah clapping feels somewhat awkward for me sometimes

[bboybl4nk]

nice... does it involve a lot of strength do jump high?

[PxQxP]

yeah, for high hops you need serious arm strength and a good bounce, it's so hard, i cant do them well yet lol

[kenreddragon]

holy shit did you clap your hands at the end?!

[PxQxP]

Lol, no. I think I can do a few clapping crickets though. I've done a few before.

[Paremco]
