A staple
breakdancing move: you should be face-down, with your elbows against your stomach, body held up by your forearms, balanced on your hands. This is the basic position - you'll look kind of like a
turtle with your back hunched over like a
shell, hence the name. From here, you can use your hands to:
- Walk forwards, backwards or sideways
- Rotate as fast as you possibly can
- Hop up and down
Balance is the key to perfecting the
turtle. I used to be really good at it, but nowadays my
centre of gravity has changed, and I can't
hack it anymore.
The most impressive
turtle I ever saw was when some guy hopped around
clockwise on one hand, holding his cap out for
tributes with his other hand.
Tributes he must desperately need today to pay for
wrist surgery.
