Totally agree with you Brandon. It a trap or an inside joke among all the Gracie guys to see who's the poor fool will try to learn this techniques...LOL

The standing variation of this pass is legit and this pass is still taught in Torrance. I saw an old video of Helio showing the standing this to Royler and the details he uses lock the hip and make it very difficult to maintain the triangle. Chet Schemahorn Gracie Jiu Jitsu Black Belt taught me how to pull the standing variation of this off. Pedro Sauer also teaches this move. I am not saying nobody can hit the triangle off Helio's variation, but it isn't easy.
You could try it and if it works good, if not try THIS,

I have a huge broner for this guy. This was one mind blowing things I saw him teach a couple guys at the Pac NW camp.
Most of his vids are on the "Fighters Arsenal" channel on youtube but his newer ones are on "The Matt LLC"
