How to truck driver 3?

I've finally got my 3 dialed, only took me a year!

And now I want to start throwing it with a truck driver grab, however whenever I try it I under rotate. I use my upper body a lot to maintain my balance and control my rotation during the 3 and so I'm confused as to how I can get that truck driver grab in there. Should I rotate faster? Is there a trick to it? Or should I just give 'er until I land it

why not learn a normal grab first, and then learn truck drivers first, and then it will come naturally, don't try to put one of the hardest grabs possible as your first grab on a 3...

If you JUST got your three's dialed recently then it would be a poor idea to try to get trucks in. HOWEVER, just do trucks, then do truck 180's, then do truck 3's. Just keep looking over your shoulder (uphill) and you're set.

it takes a while to learn. Learn safetys first, then stretch and stuff and you'll be able to reach all the way down. For trucks you may want to start spinning faster because spreading out and stuff will slow you dodnw.
