Felipe Moure López is a man on a mission. A man born in the 70’s and considered a grandpa and well past his best by many of his peers, Felipe set himself a challenge of becoming the oldest man in the world to pull off the elusive and extremely demanding Blind Judge 5 freestyle kiteboard trick. So what is the Blind Judge 5? Apparently it is a Raley with a two handle pass – or in simple terms, you unhook, pop an air, throw your legs above your head and pass the handle behind your bum twice, easy right?
After being mocked by the whippersnappers Liam Whaley, David Tonyjuan and Maxi Gómez, Felipe sets off on a adventure, determined to be in peak physical condition to chase down the Blind judge 5. In the two videos below you can follow Felipe on his journey as he bangs out press ups the length and breadth of Egypt before moving to Brazil and nailing chin up’s on anything capable of supporting his weight.
There is no two ways about it, Felipe is a determined beefcake with an interesting choice of shorts and the two videos are extremely amusing and entertaining, but can he nail the Blind Judge 5? Well, you will have to watch the clips below to find out! Let us know what you think of Felipe’s quest and is the Blind Judge 5 a trick you have in your bag?
