ive been thinking about  still working on these-
by the way , i ve been tring to do these alot  diffrent  than most people
i try  to get into these by trowning my leg over the crossbar, of my  bars, and grab the pegs- kinda like a death leap in - have gotten a handfull, but nothing  really has stuck

had to run around for miles every day in dork wheelie with bars against
chest and hands on front pegs, falling backward and stepping further by 1 inch every time.
until i was coasting that way, then i learned to wear can and mouth guard.
and only once i fell forward in that and my whole life flashed before my eyes
but i had just enough armstrength to push the front pegs out enough
to clear my ribs from being smashed when the front wheel hit.  still a relatively
hard trick to balance though, and getting in is fine, once you find what works
best for you.  getting out is harder but reverse getting in, or if your flexible jump
up to handlebar ride, best way out, easy but need to be flexible.  double footed
is fun for turbine like cliffhanger but harder i think.  also don't hit curb while doing
deathtruck or you could lose fertility, i am lucky i never did, but you could be next.

hey, thanks for the vid. it just gave me an idea on getting into em. i get into them (spastic) from time machines and usually loop out(i also do the time machine with my left foot) but i can do peg wheelies religously good with my right foot, so ima try to do them from dork wheelies like that now.

Im really goofy with this trick... I ride in and out on my left foot, but mostly roll either double footed or right footed... I didn't find no handed 1 footed, double footed, or 1 footed 1 handed hard to learn... its just riding in and out that are the hardest parts.... I do it all in one quick scissor like motion once i get the fork leg.. I don't move the bars through a lil at a time. swing my right leg out away from em and pull the bars through then swing my right leg to the peg and coast.

To me it feels like going from a steam into a wheel chair. Once I am in it I can coast for ever, I can't land em yet though. No handed double footed feels easiest.

yeah so my whole plan of learning these while im away from home was killed lol. forgot my tool kit at home, which has my back peg in it since i had to take it off to fit it on the bike rack to drive to NJ, would rather get back to being able to do whiplashes and get better at steams though after i killed my knee

In 1990 I learned this trick on a General Osborn Pro.......I first learned how to scuff a trolley and once I got that down I took my right fot off and coasted it.......Only after I learned how to dork wheelie into it....The easiest way is just one swift motion dork wheelie to hip against the crossbar to twisting the bars clockwise and the leg will follow to maintain balance....It takes some practice and some ball slamming  but it's worth it.

On a osborn pro? aww man you learned it on  a tank. My only problem with deathtrucks when i twist the bars to i get into it i can't get the balance point i'm in it for a few feet then fall over. I feel like i can't seem to have control in the coasting part.
