I just watched a tutorial on the Houdini mount… I’m a little confused does it go around your non-throw thumb then throw pointer then non-throw pointer, or non-throw thumb throw pointer then non-throw thumb again? I can do it both ways but it seems to be easier the first way. ---

Yeah, it’s a regular double or nothing, except the first wrap around your nonthrowhand is around your thumb instead of your index. ---

do a double or nothing, but on your non throw hand, use your thumb instead of your index finger the first time it comes around from a break away, then the second time use your index finger…LOL hope this helps ;D ~gorrilla\_yo808 ---
