Words: Jennifer Ross Photo: billdoster.com 1. How did you become pro? Blood, sweet, tears, tons of water time and help from many people. 2.

Front Mobe (slim chance)
1. This is probably one of the most overrated mobes in the sport. Perceived as very difficult, the front mobe is easy if you get your shoulders into the flip and spin. Take your front shoulder and lift it high off the top of the wake...

Inverted Spins

These moves are anything that involves a 180, 360 or 540 rotation added on to a normal inverted trick. Simple revert tricks are the easiest, but it progresses to whirlybirds, mobes, whatever...
