      @@thecasuallongsword Yeah I was thinking the same thing but it's really quite a bit different, since there you're trying to lift the opponent across you and sweep whereas here you move under the opponent and come out the back.

    That's pretty cool, Bo...but indeed a big extend with sliding home to an instantaneously thereafter explosiveness on that backdoor change direction, as I think I would be reactive subconsciously with a knuckle cross-face since wondering why I was atypically too high and not feeling you try to face me in such a situation. Still, you are Bo Nickal.

      Don't forget to roll to your side, as if you're about to give up the position. Eventually you're on your back, so the crossface will have disappeared by that point. And don't forget the explosive part. You can't do this slowly.
