A rocket is not a truckdriver. A true truckdriver is a little in front of the bindings. Also, the first people to do truckdrivers were snowboarders, as thats where we got the name.

if you guys think truckdrivers are only like a year or two old need to go out and buy some older movies and you see how little skiing has actually progressed.
