Thumb pop?

Has anyone heard if this technique I found it in this book.

Never heard of it. Doesn't look very usefull to me unless it's part of double thumb technique. Thinner strings don't need much strength to pop, they snap best with just the tip of index finger. And thumb is pretty slow to travel across the strings (at least mine is), that's where traditional thumb-index slap-pop thing shines.
Could be wrong, looking forward to getting more info on this.

Victors double thump is great, but it's technique of up and down thumb stroke. This page shows only upstroke. If it's part of learning process for double thump, cool.
BTW try playing disco 1-8, 1-8 with double thump. Much easier with classic slap-pop (thumb-index). I guess it all depends what you're playing.
