What is the mechanic or signal for a backtravel?

This is an easy one...simply turn your back to the scorers table, bend over so your butt is facing the table, and then slap your own behind exactly three times with each hand...now many rookies make the mistake of slapping with both hands at once, but the NBA officials will tell you that it should be left-right-left-right-left-right, and should have a definiote beat that your partner can dance to,,,

Mick - where's that brownpop...I need it badly!!
