Truck entry from turtle to back take
You lock one of their legs from behind their turtle and pull them back onto you. Use it when they turtle tight and a direct back take won't open.
Step by step
- From the side of their turtle, chest on their back, thread your near leg between their legs and hook their near thigh.
- Sit back onto your hip behind them and lock your legs around their near leg: your far leg over the top, ankles crossed (a lockdown). That's the truck.
- Reach your near arm over their back and grab their far arm or far shoulder.
- Pull their upper body back toward you. Their hips are trapped, so they fall back on top of you.
- Release the lockdown and slide your top leg in as a hook while you get a seatbelt.
- Insert your second hook and settle in back control.
Details that make it work
- The lockdown on their leg is what holds them in place. Keep it tight until their back is on you.
- Pull them backward over your chest, not sideways off you.
Common mistakes
- Letting your legs loosen, so they turn into you and come up on top.
- Reaching for the neck before their back is on your chest.
