That’s the one where you’ve got your freehand thumb hooking the string in a man and his brother hold, right? Then you let go of the string with the thumb and get trapeze?

if you mean from the throw i like how Nate does it. dunno how it ranks on the flashy scale tho. he throws it at about 1:06 i think

This is one of my favorite tricks of all time, and interestingly enough one of the first I learned. It took my like 3 weeks to get the rejection because it was so beyond my ability

yknow i saved it when yall did it last year for taw for that very reason. the rejection kicked my butt. @GTDropKnot hooked me up with a bunch of vids for practicing rejections but i forgot to go back to it and just remembered it. it’s on my list for the week 🤞😁🤞

> Anyone know of some other ways to get into a Houdini mount. I know the thumb pluck from Kamikaze and can get there in multiple ways. @TylerVno had a Tutorial once with a Double Or Nothing to Houdini.
I’d also add many of the candy rain variations have some transitions to and from houdini. Is there a specific type of trick you are trying to construct?

First one is breakaway and whip like whip to kamikaze. Second is from trapeze and enter w a suicide bc those are flashy

This is a bit long for a mount entry (it’s a trick in its own right tbh) but I like using this to get into Houdini mount. Once you get it smooth it’s pretty quick and the inside out movements are really cool.
