e Felipe Moure Lopez
l with the three
of The Blind Judge 5
e:
ies started to be seen in
the lagoons, grandpas like
him trying to pass the bar,
riding hard with C-kites
and boots and shouting
Excuses! when any of their
friends talked about pain
in the knees, in the back
or in the forearms.
Double Handle Pass:
the going gets tough
But this was not enough
for him, he still wanted to
draw more attention! He
wanted to inspire more
and more people; he still
wanted to shout louder
age doesn’t matter. So, he
came up with and idea.
The simple handle pass
appeared to be impossible
years ago, ok, but it
was possible in the end,
it’s possible now. So, if
the double handle pass
seems to be impossible
now, it has to be possible
someday. This man about
to be 40 wanted to go for
a double handle pass! The
Blind Judge 5 became his
next goal, a powered double
handle pass (Backside
315 is the real name) only
performed by legends and
professional riders of the
World Championship. It’s
not an easy trick, less than
100 people in the world
are able to do it nowadays
and, moreover, there is
only a woman in the World
(Bruna Kajiya) able to get
it. So, now the videogame
is in the Final Stage, Extreme
difficulty Level is
on! The challenge for him
now is to become the oldest
man in the world able
to do a Blind Judge 5!
That’s The BJ5 Challenge.
Felipe Moure still hasn’t
overcome it, but he won’t
stop until he gets it and,
when he finally gets it, he
will make his message
clear: It’s not about age.
It’s about attitude.
