[carlos23612]

It is easy omce you practice for about a week or two it has been two weeks and I can cricket four times around

[PokeMaster0731]

i got like the tiniest little movement with my arm in my gut.

[nhat10ful]

it hurts

when i jump

and fall down

[starkillerjp]

im only 13 but ican do a 540 rotating around

[MrDatonedude]

@starkillerjp i know a kid whos 7 nd can do a 1990 into a windmill/flair.

[4343felix]

I just realize that Bill Pham kinda looks like Jet li from Poreotix :)

[aznpride431]

every time an experience bboy screws up, he does something beast right after it just to recover the little shame.

[PokemonMaster44951]

Shawn.. you sound weird....

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@PokemonMaster44951 Weird is good sometimes lol...

[darkrain0111]

@Muzicsoulrhythm weird is good all the time stay differnt

[BBoyEnergetik]

And You Said You Couldn't Cricket. Haha xD

[billphann]

this is so unprepared and so old!! haha great memories and good timesS!

[uhohitsLYLE]

What is that move called at 4:42?

[WonderUPSB]

@uhohitsLYLE there's not really a name for it but it's used a lot and very easy

[BboyZeus95]

@WonderUPSB no thers name for it which is headswipe But he did it with no hands !

[laurence10able]

its seriously hard

[LaPulgaBR]

Sorry but i can't hop,kick,i move my leg and my body don't "jump" what can i do?

[bboysnyper5]

@babird100 chances are your elbow is stabbed too far in your stomach.place your elbow next to your belly button.i actually had the same problem you did till I practiced the move more.

[babird100]

Whenever I put my elbow at my gut, it feels like my elbow is about to twist. Can someone help me to make that more comfortable? Thanks!

[2buck4dH8rz]

do u need to know how to do the turtle first before learning this?

[karlos1man2]

@2buck4dH8rz hell no :)

[BbOiiEmJhayy]

I thought you were gonna say Bboy "name" cause you were like "B-b-Bill" lol

[Muzicsoulrhythm]

@BbOiiEmJhayy lol i was going to say bboy bill but that sounds funny

[Chaoyigon]

i cant friggin hop Dx

[wrobe00011]

I can do crickets.. but i dont kick my legs. haha

[apdcrmrn]

[jazzema1]

Hay do u think you could make a tutorial on air flares?? iv been workin on my baby flares and i got em but i want to try my air flares.. thanx

[AJimmaturity]

I spy with my little eye... A have naked man in the background 0_0

[paupau1231]

i think ur doing UFO

[iAmAsianPinoy]

do you need strength for this?

[Gen3ralG2]

@iAmAsianPinoy no. Well you will need to be able to handglide. You will need some wrist flexibility which comes from crickets. If you can handglide, you can cricket.

[versatilechicken]

thanks for this tut im going counter clockwise and thanks to this tut to be able to hop

[zeke103009]

Can u teach me how to do 4:41 I really want to know how

[greedychipmunk]

[M46827193ftw]

[TheAznadam]

Hey, I learned crickets :D took me a while though -.- but check my channel I got 6 crickets thanks to you guys

[HesatabiX2]

he has trouble of telling which way is clockwise :p

[P0c0k]

Hey Shawn, I know u making tutting videos nowadays, but dont u wanna teach us the L-kick? pretty basic bboy move, but there isnt any good tutorial on youtube, I think it would be really helpful. Keep up the good work

[SpecialPsP]

I cant hop with my arms on my Body pls help..

[MATTNFSU2]

@SpecialPsP that guy probably took a few months to master this-

he did not only take a day to do this

[SpecialPsP]

@MATTNFSU2 when if hop with my arm i fall pls help

[MATTNFSU2]

@SpecialPsP I cant do the Jackhammer either...sorry.

[hiphopstudio36]

only me body is jumping not my hand what i need to do?

[zahnaynee8]

jack hammers hurt like crazy

[MATTNFSU2]

@zahnaynee8 Gotta get used to the freeze first, bro. try to get the elbow on the place

of your intestines. 

[MrPooface11]

yo where do u guys live?

[MrPooface11]

to do crickets do u have to go fast?

[Ashyflake]

@MrPooface11 you can start out fast

[MrPooface11]

``nigga gold my shit´´. uuuggghhh thats all i got, u didnt even get on one arm LOLOLOLOL I WAS LMAOING OMG THAT WAS HILARIOUS

[MrPooface11]

[UCIBrianBui]

Every person progresses at different rates, you can't say how long it takes.

[TrueCr3wTV]

[AndyBubbi]

It looks so easy, but it's hard.

[PrimetimeBreakdance3]

allright now i can jachhammer for 2 spins thankz Muzicsoulrhythm

[lialisthebest]

hey how do you keep from hurting your wrists or is it supposed to hurt and u just have to eat the pain ???

[aznsoulja37698]

@lialisthebest

stretch it A LOT! and you will get use to it

[bboyS0und]

dude your videos are really helpful, thank for makin them.

[SpikesAnNikes]

How long should you be able to hold yourself up in the turtle position if you want to learn this move because i can hold myself but then once i hop, i fall?

[AkiD97]

I got crickets in 2 days then lost em cuhz i broke finger :O

[zhadow7]

See these guys have the attitude ;D

Hard. liiikes.

[iSypha]

can't get my stabbing arm to hop up, only my body does? D:

[icb77]

lol you got to get speed with cricets then transition to jackhammers

[utlajohn11]

if u do it while kickhing your right leg, practice dragging ur left let and kicking ur right.......

[1LastFight]

any exercises that can train them?

[24BoA9]

@1LastFight what I do is i practice hand spinning first, then I just be in a hand glide position and hop until my feet do not hit the ground..that's one method of practice

[yoyoandbow]

@1LastFight hey man if u want i can send u a video on exercises that will help u a lot

[1LastFight]

@yoyoandbow that would help plz

[OrtizProductionz]

haha this reminds me of how my crew is.

[RawrImApple]

The guy in the blue- His crickets+jacks were so quiet o.o i wanna learn to do that.

[spritedblue]

took me a day non stop practicing. to get 3 cricket hops..

[1LastFight]

Im trying to learn crickets but I have a problem with my freeze since my wrist keeps giving out is that normal?

[Itagaki32]

@1LastFight it just means you need more wrist muscle

[Raykorin]

lol ur legs actually arent supposed to be too high...

[passyB]

I want to move to the states for real.

[jdm1jimmy]

lololol. nigga hold my shit

[Ericisinwisconsin]

4:44

[SiddK77]

lol enjoy the jack...hammer

[ThaChingster]

LMAAO!

I got the same shoes but in blue

[Phungula]

lol @ remedy "didnt even get on one arm"

[kouruleoblaze]

LOL "hold my shit" after that he did a epic stand up

[hmgddsspec]

bboy remedy in the MIRROR~!

[NinjaSurplus]

really?

[priyank908]

h0w much weight is requried t0 d0 jackhammer is weight matters i have 63 kg can i d0 jackhammer repy

[bboymonk3y]

@priyank908 all you need to do is practice

[BetterBillieveIt]

i dont think there is a weight requirement. just practice, practice, practice. youll get used to it.

-Bill

[bboykyt]

@priyank908

no problem. 64 isnt heavy or light.

although weight doesnt matter that much for this move.

[Sinfull702x602]

@priyank908 it all depends on how strong you are. if you can hold up ur own weight. and yeah practice

[itzYourBoyb]

there is no weight requirement just be able to lift your own weight

[2defend1]

"nigga hold my shit!" xD lmao...classic...

[bbkid07]

you should do a tutorial on what remedy did at 4:42

thatd be so sick

[xxblackskyxx]

it looks like a german mill to a headspin

[xxBboyKnowledgexx]

@bbkid07 naw that's more of a style thing....figure it out yourself and make a variation of it so that it wouldn't be considered biting

[SwingsOfMemories]

he kicked up, and spinned on his head

looks nice imma practice it lol

[hyperzyph64]

@bbkid07 It's called a headswipe, it's pretty easy. But he didn't use his hands so that was pretty impressive..

[MrSageee]

@bbkid07 its called head track

[theRETARDEDasiagroup]

@bbkid07 he did watch halo tutorial!!!

[dangerslifer]

nice tut.

but i think you guys shouldve been more specific.

[bboyloose11]

Haha, you guys seem so chill, it's awesome. I want to session just because i watched this. Good stuff yo.

[Fres7er]

4 years, i can't do jackhammers..? haha..honesty ...LOL

[V8Fiero2M8]

It's great tutorial. And makes you understand that if you can do pushups then you can do the crickets becuase the weight on your hands is only a little more than it is for pushups.. All you have to do is just balance.

[whickedshell]

how many push ups are you talking about?

i want to learn it, and i've tried it before

but it's kinda hard and i can do push ups

like 25 or so

[wackyredge]

oh hey it's bill! i remember him!

me and him got labelled muzicsoulrhythm wannabe's or something LOL -___-

he's gotten better with bboying (pretty sure) :)

[BeTheChangeWeNeed]

I hate how i haven't done crickets for so long since Ive been dedicating my time to Choreo. They are so much fun.

[Putas101]

mmm...i'm scared to let go my other hand and go into jackhammers...i'll stick to crickets for at least about a year for now...i just mastered it a month ago anyways..haha!!!

[Gundamknight2423]

no need for upper body strength, jsut find the balance point

[itszALDWiN]

You still need upper body strength or at least strength in your arms to be able to hop in the crickets and jackhammers.

[Wolf2334]

do you need alot of upper body strength

[crazymonkeydancer]

lmfaoo

"nigga hold my shit.
