It stands for "Crip-Walk". It's more of a strut than a walk really, and it involves taking steps with the heels of your feet rather than the flat parts.

Go figure, I can explain it, but I couldn't do it to save my life.

There isn't an arcade near me, but there is a rather smallish group that has started fairly recently at my school (I've been playing for like 2 years, now), and I don't really mock the other people. Sometimes I'll be like "play on heavy, c'mon!" and basically tell them they should be working on playing on heavy and stuff. But I don't really taunt people. I'll just play and blow them all out of the water. And I do try to help them, and stuff, too.

theres nothin' wrong with that. i do that to noobies too. they usually dont listen though. my buds do that to me sometimes. they go "c'mon Mel, play PSM Oni!" and i go "WTF? u just seen me play LOM with not even a quarter of an NRG bar of life left. i cant recover in 2 min." i do it neways. and i fail.

Honestly, if I had never played with people who were better than me, I never would have gotten to where I am now (played for a year, starting to break into 10s).

When I started playing, I played with a bunch of friends who I thought were quite good for getting A's on End of the Century light. My competition instinct got the better of me, and I practiced so I could get to their level and then pass them up. And I did. Afterward, I broke into heavy around April, when I had a week off school and a fresh 30-day pass to the local GameWorks. There were these kids getting very respectable grades on HVAM and Rhythm and Police back-to-back the first day I got there. I made friends with these kids, and I probably gained more skill over that one week than the rest of my DDR time put together.

So, yeah. Watch the experts and pick up a thing or two, even if it is out of envy of their mad skills. It definitely pays off.

Some people are just ignorant to the fact that it takes practice to get good at ddr.

That makes me really mad when players are better than others and make fun of them. I'm better than a lot of the players out here, I've taught like 5 or 6 people how to play (One of them plays 10 footers now; he's only been playing for two months, yes he is my prodigy!), and I just think we should help one another out rather than bad mouth people.

But, a lot of my best friends are better than me, so its nice for me to play with them; they taught me how to cross over

This may make me sound like an idiot but I'm still new at this but whats a cross-over exactly?

itz the captain · Trick Member Joined: 25 Sep 2003 Location: ha ha!

i started playing in an always populated play area with lots of people better than me so i dont c how they put up with me cuz now that im a lot better i cant put up with players who play on light or lower and sometimes root for them to fail ,however if a person is getting good and play on say at least standard i will gladly offer him advice. is that wrong?!?!?!?!?!?!?

all right to crossover takes a bit of time it is basiccaly when u have 3 arrows (at least) or more ) that r in a position such as this ( left arrow, down arrow ,and right arrow).to crossover means to simply step on the arrows in succesion of the last foot u stepped with meaning instead of double stepping u have to simply walk across.this with lots of arrows looks stupid because u will be twisting ur body in ways u didnt know it could be twisted .and it gets much more complicated with many arrows .so to be able to do it u will have to learn to read arrows good.but once u do i think that u will agree with me that cross-overs r some of the of the funnest steps in the game!
