What is the most simple way to ride into and out of a backyard? I've got to where I can do one fairly well, but can't get into or out of them. A video from somewhere on the net would be really nice, but I can't find one of just a backyard. Could someone explain it to me or direct me to a video on the net where I could see it?

Sorry to keep bringing up old topics, but this is fun as heck and is bringing back a lot memories.
My favorite ways to get into a backyard were: 1) do like a boomerang, but only 180 degrees. As you are half way through the boomerang stick one foot over the bars and land it on the top tubes. Now, climb over and put both back feet on the pegs. At this time you should rolling, facing backwards and sitting on the bars with both feet on the rear pegs. Finally do a little endo and use the momentum to lift up, take on foot off the rear peg and do the backyard.
2) my favorite way that a friend of mine invented; pedal-picker into backyard. From a pedal-picker stick one foot through the bars. Finally, put that foot on the top tube and step through with your other foot into the backyard. That way is really cool if you do a fire hydrant into the pedal picker.
To get out of the back yard i would always hit the rear brake and spin a little from the momentum so I was rolling backwards with one foot on the rear peg and the other on the rear-triangle by the wheel (the opposite side of the sprocket). After hitting the front brakes id let go with the other hand, spin the bars, swing around and put my foot on the pedal while the other is still resting inside the rear-triangle. It was move invented by Chris Day (anyone in here remember him?) called an over and out. They actually look really sweet if done correctly.
Hope my descriptions were understandable. How-to answers are difficult w/o a visual representation.
