Right foot in, mash my ass against the back of the seat and slide down using my right leg to lower me onto the seat, then left foot in.
Getting out I put my hand on the top of the rocker, left leg out and lift out with my arm and leg. I'm 6'2" and this works in my 944 too. This is a technique I learned from Magnum PI..... |
