Steering the big buggers...

I'm in the planning stage of my doomwheels experience, buying some aggressive blades from ebay to get underway. Have a question though that plays on my mind regarding steering. In my mind only having the wheels at either end would appear to make it hard to turn, and in particular to turn quickly compared to say turning on four wheels on a normal rollerblade where you sort of pivot.

Are my concerns all in the mond and the reality is that it's just a crazy experience and you don't think of it anyway?
Thanks, Shaun K...

I usually step turn for the most part but when i have a large enough area and wanna play around i'll pull a long wide turn without the step. Only way to really know for yourself is to build a pair of doomwheels and check it out but i've had a blast with mine so far and they keep on surprising me as i get more and more comfortable with them.

Ride on!
