Pete Rose

The Pete Rose is a frontside mobe with a grab. However, to do this trick you should have a very strong frontside grab roll to revert first. It is also helpful to learn this trick off the double-up. The key is to do the last 180 of the mobe as late as possible, keeping your axis extremely straight. Grabbing the board slob or melan will keep you in better position for the handle pass at the end of the trick. Practice switchstance heelside blindside 180s with a handle pass. Take the trick straight up and grab the board as you come off the top of the wake. As you fall from the peak of your rotation for the landing, do as you would with a normal grab roll to revert. Pull the handle with your rear hand through the small of your back, simultaneously looking in the direction of the boat and dropping your free hand to complete the handle pass.
