Wow. The truck even rolls back and forth like it's in neutral. Mad skillz.

Man, and to think I try to STOP that from happening when I'm using my buddy's one at his farm...

Just the other day I saw a bobcat in the back of a truck like that and wondered how it go there. Perhaps they used this method.

Even if it is in neutral, I doubt this guy would try this stunt without a parking break.. but brakes are only going to do so much. It rolled until the engine was pushing against its bearings all thew way and stopped. But mad skillz indeed.

Took me about 10 years to learn that one. Its pretty easy (with experience) to do it in the smaller units like that one but it still scares the crap out of me. You have to put the truck in neutral.

I attempted this once but when I put my truck in neutral, it rolled away. I guess I shouldn't have been parked on a slippery slope.

The physics involved suggest some awesome *engineering. seems like he got an assist from the truck ... oh neutral, I see.
