Mobe 5 nose to seatbelt RIDER MAXIME CHABLOZ P H O T O S V E T L A N A R O M A N T S O VA

This is one of my favorite tricks at the moment. It actually came about thanks to Craig Cunningham who showed me a video of a wakeboarder doing the same trick, though not to 5 but a normal mobe. Craig was convinced I could do it. So after trying it out and landing one or two in light conditions, I started taking this trick more seriously and injecting it with more power. I first landed it to 5 in Greece while I was filming for the distance battle. I ended up pulling it off in almost all my heats at the GKA SuperKite in Brazil, and the highest score I got was an 8.5 – not bad for a single pass. Although it is not really a big trick and only has one handlepass, I would say that it is really hard and takes practice to master.
