i know how 2 do this move but im 2 lazy 2 write this stuff. Ok well this move is also known as a float. In this move your entire body is facing the floor, like lying on your stomach. Except the only thing touching the ground is your palms. So you support yourself with your arms. Sounds like it requires lots of strength right? I mean supporting your entire weight like that, gotta be a physical powerhouse right? Wrong. The secret is that you are not holding yourself up with your arm muscles at all, instead you are tucking your elbows into your stomach so that both elbows almost touch. (closer to your pubic bones than your diaphram, in other words just below your ribcage) The only thing you need for this move is BALANCE. IF your arms start getting tired your doing it wrong. I've seen countless B-boys try this move but when they try it they attempt to support all their weight with their arm muscles. Their elbows aren't tucked into their stomach, under their body, but instead is completley at their sides. If your elbows aren't under your body you will be forced to use strength to hold yourself up. (Your wrists will very likley start to hurt like a mother $#@%! because they have never had to sustain that much weight before. They will soon thicken dont worry...also you might not be able to breath and your face will turn red..not to worry this is cuz you have to train yourself to TIGHTEN your stomach muscles and stiffen your body so that you can breath under the muscle..if your body is too lax you will not be able to breath) Why is it also called a float? Because the 2nd part to this move is moving. Yup, you read right. Once you master being able to balance in this awkward position you must now be able to move around in a circle, idealy you should be able to walk forward and backward as well, using only your hands. Moving in a circle is easier than walking forwards or backwards. In order to move around, you have to shift all your body weight to one arm, so that for about a half second the only thing keeping your face from becoming a bloody mess is one arm. (kidding, you'll bruise your forehead and knees a bit but youll never need to go to the ER) Then you land on the other arm, balancing all weight on that arm, and so on and so forth. While you are on each arm you make a very slight turn, so little by little you begin to move. When you first practise this you should move slowly. As you get better you will move like LIGHTNING speed and that's when you really wow an audience. -How to learn turtles- You should begin by learning only how to balance. Don't even try moving until you can hold a turtle pretty much forever. When you first start doing this, you'll find out it's much harder than it looks. In order to start learning how to balance, try doing it on a sofa. Place both your hands on the sofa seat (the part your back reclines on, not where your butt reclines on) and hoist your body onto your elbows. This is a good place to practise because if you fall backwards (you will) you'll land on your feet. If you were trying this on a hardwood floor you'd land on your knees and beleive me, that HURTS! Also, if you fall forward you will end up eating a soft, fluffy sofa cushion, and not the hard, unforgiving floor. Once you can easily hold this turtle position, it's time to move to the floor. On the floor, you have to able to pop into it. That means you must be able to get into a turtle easily. If you struggle too much people won't be impressed and may just decide to shoot you to put you out of your misery. Eventually, you will able to six-step and link turtles into the six-step, or fall to your side to do some NICE freezes. You'll notice that when doing turtles on the floor your face is about 1 inch or less away from the floor. Your feet should be spread wide apart (this helps big-time with balance) and bent at the knees. You can do turtles with your feet straight out but it's very very hard. IF you can do that you'r the man. Doing turtles builds up your abs hardcore. You'll have washboard stomach in no time. Eventualy you'll be able to even pop up into a headspin and spin, or link your turtles into a windmill or halos. I got this move off of(http://members.nbci.com/bboyneko/Turtlesandmore.htm)
