I can't even do it on lying on my back. I remember when we first saw the truckdriver and thought that nobody could do it... and now everyone can.

it's a lot less about the ankles and more about the knees

Tom Walisch(SP) either does or comes really close to doing one in the new promo, although I can't tell if it is intentional or unintentional.

i find them really easy. the key is to get the nose part of the grab first.
