Why not? Just use the fact that gravitons can only travel out at the speed of light, and curve the space ahead of you towards you at the speed of light. Then send more waves of gravity through the first set of curvatures, and curve space even further ahead of you. You just keep crumpling the space like inching through a carpet.
