Jump in the pool and go to work..
I usually take two bikes.
I have one ramp for me, and one for a bike.
There are chains to keep the ramps from sliding, but I have been too dumb to use them...have not had them slide yet. They have rubber tip covers. Ox-Lite ramps
Yeah, in front of Dad. Hit the cab and sailed.
I push now because it's less embarrassing if you get it wrong.
I push. My truck has the tailgate step that Ford puts in the super duty’s - and it’s super convenient for bike loading.
Pit Row
Loading is like ruts - never sit down and paddle thru ruts cos you'll just catch a boot and lose balance. So for the loading, take a decent run up to get straight and balanced while stood up already gripping the bike with your knees head over the front plate. Then I gauge my speed so I don't actually have to gas it up the ramp, which really helps when everything's wet and your tyres are filled in with mud. Then look straight to the back of the truck bed so you stay straight and also know where you want to stop at. After you get good at it you'll just give it a quick raarp before you get to the ramp and barely have to apply the brakes cos you'll have gauged your speed so the ramp slows you down by the time you get to the top.
Basically, if you can hit ruts up the face of a small jump then you can easily ride your bike into your truck bed.

While I'm too short to load a bike this way, this is my preferred method for unloading. (Let gravity do all the work.)
