Executing a long-step pass to the truck from Reverse De La Riva:

  1. Start in Reverse De La Riva with your leg inside your partner's guard.
  2. Attempt to grab your partner's collar or head, but if they block, transition to gripping their forearm right above the elbow.
  3. Simultaneously maintain a grip on their pants, which is standard for Reverse De La Riva.
  4. Initiate the long-step pass by opening your elbow and posting it on the mat to avoid being swept.
  5. Drop your head into the middle of your partner's chest as you begin the pass.
  6. Allow your leg to collapse slightly and extract your right leg.
  7. As your partner pushes to recover guard, punch their arm down, come on top of your knee, and pass to the other side.
  8. Expect your partner to turtle, and use this opportunity to apply the choke learned earlier.
  9. Keep the grip on their arm, insert your right leg between theirs, step inside, and pull them back on top of you.
  10. Kick out with your right leg to insert the hook, adjust your hips, and secure the back take.
  11. If your partner closes their legs, escape your knee and use it to pass their guard.
  12. Follow your partner's movement with your right knee, insert your left leg, and pull them back to sit on you.
  13. Execute the truck position, kick for space if needed, insert your right leg hook, adjust grips, fix your hips, and complete the back take.

Remember, the key is to adapt the long-step pass by using the forearm grip when the collar and head grips are not available, and to use the partner's reactions to transition into the truck and secure the back take.
